Ask Casa: Where Can I Find That Incredible Pendant?
In the comments on my recent Show Me Your Casa post, AJH asked, "Where can I find that incredible pink hanging pendant?" It's a good question! I've been in love with the light fixture ever since I first saw it as well.
Desire/Acquire: Burlap Chandelier
Fresh off of my burlap bonanza roundup, which featured this Jayson Home & Garden Caravan Chandelier ($1,295), made of an iron frame covered with a burlap potato sack, I spotted a much more affordable version of the light fixture. It's certainly handsome and lends a rustic industrial aesthetic, but I wouldn't pay a penny over a grand for it — if that. Want to see where you can buy the exact same chandelier for less?
Found It! Light Fixtures From Eastwick
I wouldn't say that the witch-centric drama series Eastwick is on the top of my faves list of this year's Fall TV lineup, but I will give the show set designers props for boldly mixing three very different (and busy) light fixtures in this kitchen. Each of the chandeliers in this photo would be a show-stopper on its own, but combined they create a space that's more about being an eclectic than a specific theme, such as Moroccan or midcentury. Wondering where you can pick up any of these three light fixtures?
Desire/Acquire: Copper Pendant Light
Designed in 1968 by Italian architect and designer Roberto Menghi, the Globo di Luce Pendant ($813-$1,170) is as captivating as it was 40 years ago. Blown glass defines the globe's shape, a transparent cable gives it the appearance of floating mid air, and its copper finish gives off a rich, warm light. It's practically solar.
Love It or Hate It? Justin Guinta Chandelier
New York-based designer Justin Guinta created this one-of-a-kind Construction Light Chandelier ($480) by assembling bursts of crystals onto a yellow plastic construction lamp. I like the concept — industrial design meets fancy schmancy — but I don't think it was executed very well. What do you think?
11 Poser Pendants
Sometimes a lamp is just a lamp. Other times, it's a takeout box or a bottle of wine parading as a light. In the latter case, it's cheeky and fun, but a little bit of a gimmick.
Found It! Copper Pendant Light
I spotted this photo in the portfolio of Swedish interior stylist Jakob Solgren and couldn't help but think the central copper pendant light looked quite familiar. It makes a very bold, masculine statement in the nearly all-white, very Scandinavian room, so it was hard to ignore. But where had I seen it before?
Crave Worthy: Vertical Leaf Pendant Light
Stop laughing. You think this is funny? You know I can't glance at this Megan Auman Vertical Leaf Pendant Light ($240) for one second without pulling out my credit card.
Love It or Hate It? Not a Box Light
Despite its looks, David Graas's Not a Box (inquire for price) is not a box but a lamp. The design transforms its own packaging into the lamp itself; after you open the box to find the bulb, cable, and instructions, you use it as the pendant shade. As clever and eco-friendly as it is, I can really only see Not a Box in an industrial interior.
Found It! Nicky Hilton's Pendant Lights
Flipping through my vast magazine collection, I recently reread the March issue of InStyle. This issue featured the home of celeb socialite Nicky Hilton, and while I did find it quite chic (though fussy at times) for a 20-something, it wasn't the sophisticated interior design style that struck me. In the master bedroom, which she calls, "classic but naughty [ .
