The best thing about pendant lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are the best option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used them to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room.

This lamp’s design revolves around the brass harp. Normally, a lamp harp is but a common component of a lamp to which the shade is attached. Here however, it is the main design element that sets the overall impression. Like with classic lamps, the harp is composed of two parts, the saddle which is fastened under the lamp socket, and the frame attached to the saddle at its lower end and to the rod on its upper end. This lightweight frame holds the frosted glass shade in a classic, lightly conical shape. The straight lines of the shade greatly accentuate the harp’s pronounced hourglass shape, and the contrast creates visual interest. Adding to this contrast in shapes is the long metal rod stemming from the canopy, and the decorative finial. The evidently modern approach particularly exemplifies the aesthetic of European mid-century lighting design, favouring unique shapes and forms, and of course, brass. The airy arrangement further accentuates the separate elements and the quality of the execution.

While the cross patterned, frosted glass shade and brass body are typical of European lighting designs of the era, the creatively used harp still sets this pendant light model apart. Its streamlined modernism makes it an ideal addition to any interior style and space.
