The Dew Drops Pendant by Bomma is my favorite find. Designed by Boris Klimek, mouth blown crystal globes with black leather or vegan leather straps available in 15 colors. These can be layered with multiple straps with lights and without to create a sculptural lighting experience.

This light fixture captures the essence of dew drops glistening on a delicate blade of grass. It’s one of my favorites because it beautifully reflects nature, while also showcasing the sculptural interplay of light and shadow. I also appreciate how it pushes the boundaries of what we typically consider a chandelier to be.

The Focusx5 Pendant by DCWéditions is my favorite find. The chandelier is composed of 5 luminous discs in PMMA acrylic glass can be found in either white or black. The designer, Yuji, has transformed discs into objects floating mobile in a
weightless world of refracted light.

I love how you can glance at the light fixture at different times of the day and it looks completely
different. This magical quality is like a childhood memory or a future daydream cast in a swirl of
light.

The Buoy Double Cone Pendant by BOMMA is my favorite find. The collection was designed by Václav Mlynář, Creative Director of BOMMA. The fixture features an unusual light rod that runs through the entire core formed by a monumental hand-blown glass body.

When seeing this fixture in person, one is taken by the sheer size of the glass. The mastery to create hand blown glass at this scale is beautiful. The simplicity of the design with the ombre of a soft white color is understated and impactful. The method of using a sandblasted light core perfectly distributes the light throughout the entire glass form.

The Antonia Linear Pendant by Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting is handcrafted in the US with elegant options to make it uniquely yours. It has seven finish choices, mixed metals and elegant parchment options.

Every detail of this fixture defines elegance! I had the privilege of going to the Fine Art factory outside of Miami to see their team work. The process that goes into their manufacturing is intricate and precise from start to finish. The metals are all handcrafted and hand applied. The pendant can used in a home that is traditional, transitional or contemporary. It is a must-see in person, a photo certainly does not give it justice. I look forward to showcasing it when our clients come in!

With its galactic appeal, Chandelier Pearl by Eichholtz makes a radiant focal point in your home interior. Its pearl-like alabaster shade is surrounded by four metal rings with a bronze highlight finish on the outside and a gold finish on the inside. The rings can be rotated individually.

This striking piece captures the essence of a fantastical, uncharted planet from a distant galaxy. Three rings in graduated sizes encircle a shade designed to resemble a pearlescent lunar surface. Each bronze ring is accented with subtle hints of gold, creating an opulent effect. Light emanates from within the shade, highlighting the intricate textures of the chandelier. Suspended from an adjustable stem that connects to a canopy above, this fixture is perfect for any space where you desire abundant light and plenty of attention.

The Ardesia Circular LED Pendant by Hubbardton Forge is my favorite find.

Mixed materials are not only on-trend, but show both the organic nature of slate from a Vermont quarry and the metalwork of skilled Vermont artisans. Illuminated by a LED light-guide platform, the Ardesia is the apex of where technology meets nature. A natural element, slate has slight variations in size, color and texture. Also available as a large, linear pendant.

The Ardesia lends itself to a modern mountain luxe aesthetic so loved by our area designers. The even distribution of light across a textural element is unique and because Hubbardton allows for customization I have seen this fabricated using both a white alabaster and the black slate. 

As a company, Hubbardton Forge has a strong ethos of sustainability. Working with local artisans and providers their materials and technology are sourced in the US. For fixtures that utilize an integrated LED light source, they can be replaced without disposing of the entire fixture, not typical of many manufacturers.

The Lomme XL Chandelier by Visual Comfort features a soft brass finish, and is led integrated. This fixture is offered in a single pendant and a linear chandelier.

I am infatuated with the elegancy of this fixture. The different shapes of the water droplet glasses that comes with this fixture are stunning. Having the option to position the glasses to your liking is another “wow” factor. Not to mention that is is LED Integrated.

The Belluno Oval Chandelier by Lib&Co. is a one-of-a-kind fixture featuring soft gold-satin branches that connect handcrafted flowers. These flowers radiate light in all directions, casting a glow as brilliant as a flower opening in the morning sun.
