Modern Lighting by the Masters
Lighting should help you set the mood no matter
which room you're decorating. Putting all lights on dinners gives you the option
of selecting the right brightness for each setting. Modern lighting by American masters
Jasper Morrison, George Nelson and Pablo Pardo. Also traditional crystal lamps and chandeliers and
sconces.
Modern American Lighting by George Nelson
Trained as an architect, George Nelson found a
fresh solution to lighting design in the organic forms of his “bubble” lamps.
The lamps were produced in 1952 by spray coating a skeleton of steel wire with a
layer of translucent plastic that allowed light to shine softly through and
protected the eye from glare. The tautly stretched plastic emphasizes the simple
forms and sculptural qualities of the lamps.
Modern Pendant Lighting
More than lighting, these modern designs are
illuminated works of art.

Mix Task Lamp |
Cortina Table Lamp |
Tube Top Table Lamp - Small |
Leaf Light |
| This sophisticated reading lamp draws a mere five watts of energy
and delivers an intense, warm and pleasing light for an average duration
of some 50,000 hours (2,000 hours is the average for a normal halogen
bulb). |
Defined by a structural and material simplicity, the Cortina Table
Lamp and Floor Lamp (2000) by Pablo Pardo simultaneously contain and
diffuse light. The compact polycarbonate shade is virtually
architectural, a thin rectangle of transparency that delineates the form
and filters light through an external fabric diffuser, which is
stretched over the top, down to the base. |
The satisfying composition features a transparent acrylic base that
supports a lightweight mesh shade held in place by tension. The effect
is that of a floating form over a barely visible base, tethered only by
a fabric-covered cord. |
It's been called the Aeron of lamps and its controls have been
compared with those on an iPod, but technology is only half of the story
when it comes to the new Leaf Light. The other half is sustainability |
