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 geometric 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 at its upper end. The black lacquered tubular metal structure is not closed, instead on one side it is left open with golden rods reaching towards each other leaving a gap. This artistic lithe frame holds the cylindrical ribbed glass globe. The light colour and pattern of the glass greatly accentuate the harp’s smooth surface and black and gold colour, and the contrast creates great 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. The airy arrangement further accentuates the separate elements and the quality of the execution.

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