Chandeliers from Tracy Porter

Filed under: Decor

Tracy Porter Scarlet Small Six Light Chandelier, $663

Tracy Porter makes beautiful "jewelry for your ceiling."

In her video, which you can watch here, Tracy advises using a large chandelier to anchor an expansive room, then populating the rest of the room with smaller detail chandeliers. If you don't want to take Tracy's multiple chandeliers advice, a wall sconce is usually adequate and definitely the classic way to add additional light to a room where a large chandelier is the main focus.

Sherle Wagner Luxury Hardware and Bath Accessories

Filed under: Decor

As I was browsing a home magazine I was stopped by an ad for Sherle Wagner doorknobs, I mean, "hardware." They were so beautiful, I wanted to know more. So now I share ... Sherle Wagner International, headquartered in NYC but with eight U.S. showrooms and one in Kuwait, offers a number of home accessories in these categories: finishes, stones and patterns; bath fittings; bath fixtures; accessories; hardware; lighting; furniture; textiles; linens; and wall coverings. All Sherle Wagner products are originals, made by the company from the design inception stage to completion. The company uses "old world artisans and timeless techniques, so that every piece is a true original." And the staff is experienced in working with architects, designers and clients on projects of any scale. If you browse the catalog, be sure to check out all the categories on the lefthand nav bar; there was much more on the site than I noticed the first time around. No prices, however, but I'm going to guess on the high end.

The 'Ray & Stevie' Pendant Light

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

We've covered light fixtures made of sunglasses before and although it's an idea that will never fit it with my home's decor I must say the concept is growing on me and I especially like this 'R&S' (Ray & Stevie) pendant light by J.P. Meulendijks. The design is incredibly simple, consisting simply of 18 "reservoir dogs" sunglasses arranged into a circle. The result is an interesting piece of art and, when you turn it on, fun sunglass-shaped shadows on the walls and ceiling. Available in both black and white the lamp goes for just over $200.

Johanna Keimeyer Recycle Lights

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Green

I'm not going to say that these Recycle Lights by Johanna Keimeyer are pretty because they really aren't (in my opinion), but that doesn't mean I don't like them. Inspired to re-purpose the ugly plastic bottles we all see laying all over the place to into something use-able again, Johanna Keimeyer took a trip through Europe that resulted in this unique collection of eclectic lights that incorporate bottles from water, soda, detergent, and numerous other products. They're especially interesting to me because they look so completely different when the inner bulb is illuminated versus when it isn't. Plus with all that melting and twisting they look really fun to put together!

Celebrity Lamp

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

It's amazing how something so common and simple like a classic pair of aviator style sunglasses can be the inspiration for a gaudy (but still strangely attractive) lamp called the Celebrity Lamp. Named after the many celebrities who are more often than not spotted in public wearing their favorite shades, this lamp is made up of 40 pairs of mirrored aviator glasses resting on a shiny linear stand with a temple light switch. It's a shiny silver sculpture during daylight and becomes a kaleidoscope of color and light when turned on at night. Like I said, gaudy but strangely attractive... $1,600.

Lighthouse Wallmounted Torch

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

It seems that in adventure movies whenever someone is about to enter a cave or a dark place there is a lighted torch at the ready. Scandinavian design company Menu, has taken that idea and created a modern torch. The Lighthouse Fakkel is designed specifically for wall-mounting with a brushed stainless steel mounting, an aluminum lamp head and a body of solid, white porcelain. The lamp has a newly developed oil burner that creates a big torch-like flame and can be filled from above so the lamp doesn't have to be dismantled. It' doesn't look like it is easy to take off the wall and use to go spelunking but it's a cool design look nevertheless. It can be found for $108.97.

Rubber Chandelier by Tobias Wong

by Star Sutherland (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Art

I'm not sure if this Rubber Chandelier sets out to solve a problem (eliminating the breakability factor) or just strives to be unique and kooky. Either way, if you want a showstopping conversation piece for your home, voila! Designer Tobias Wong adds his personal flare to the age-old chandelier by encapsulating each crystal in an thick coat of industrial grade white rubber. My theory is why mess with perfection...and to me, chandeliers are pretty perfect, but I must admit this thing is kind of cool. I'm dying to know if it bounces. Rubber chandeliers don't come cheap, this quirky collectible will cost you $4,499!

Lotus Flower Chandelier

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Lotus Flower Chandeliers are created by artisans combining hundreds of hand-cut capiz shells edged in metal together into large pearl and smoke colored spheres. When lit from within the pendants shimmer and shine like stained glass and look equally impressive hanging alone or in a grouping. Two sizes (13" and 21" diameters) are available from Viva Terra for $329 and $629, and in keeping with their eco-friendly and sustainable stance as many supplies as possible are recycled and reclaimed in the manufacturing of the product -- plus the company recommends using an energy saving light bulb to illuminate your new purchase.

Polaris Floor Lamp, Designed by Marco Acerbis

by Lisa Palladino (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Art

The Polaris Floor Lamp is more like a piece of art than a lamp. Made of lacquered nylon that has been rotationally molded, it's a modern, clean piece that would work well in a corner or next to a bed or sofa. The lamp pivots, "revealing a different fluid vertical form on its satin steel footprint base." No fancy bulbs required, just one 300-watt halogen bulb (included). For atmosphere, use the floor dimmer.

A 2008 design by Marco Acerbis for Fontana Arte, it's available in glossy white, glossy black or glossy amethyst (aubergine/eggplant). Retromodern.com sells it for $1,840 (a 20% discount from the list price of $2,300). Measures 11.8" W x 76" H. Delivery in 2-4 weeks.

Table Lamps by Lorin Marsh

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Table lamps are one of those decor accessories that can completely change the look of a room without necessarily making a bold or dramatic statement. Lorin Marsh has table lamp designs that can either fit in with whatever you've got now or maybe inspire you to go in a new direction. Hand-blown Murano glass, Italian alabaster, and sleek metal are the design materials, and they're put together into a wide variety of shapes and colors. Classic and understated but hardly plain, these lamps are gorgeous. I love several of them but my favorite is the Kyoto lamp.

Siddhartha Pod Lamp

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Today, my friend Art Donovan from Donovan Design out in Southampton, New York sent me pictures of his latest design. This new lamp is his first in a style known as Steampunk. Steampunk combines modern technology with a style sensibility taken from the Victorian era. The new lamp is called the Siddartha Pod Lantern and Art reports that is it the most labor intensive lamp he has ever worked on. He spent several months designing and creating the lamp from solid bass, copper and mahogany. It is over four feet tall and signed and dated, engraved in brass at the top. The lamp sells for $23,000.
