Round and Airy Lighting Fixtures

Continuing on with the lighting series, we have some lovely round and airy choices.

I played it cool when we bought our house, asking if the light in the dining room was staying. I recognized it as a Nelson Saucer (#4 above), a light I had always had my eye on. And yes it stayed. A couple of years later, when the original owners came back to see the house, they notice I had moved the light into the living room and remarked that had they known I liked it so much, they would have left the other one they had too, instead of tossing it out (!).

  1. Random Light, $605-$2418

  2. Väte Pendant, $9

  3. Tulip Pendant, $79

  4. Nelson Saucer Pendant Lamp, $195-$435

  5. PS Maskros, $49-$89

  • I love #1 and #5!

  • A Nelson fixture as a hand-me-down? So great! I really love that tulip pendant from PB too…would look adorable in my daughters’ shared room.

  • I DIY’d #1 and #5 is hanging in my living room! Love that they left the Nelson pendant for you :)

  • #4 is in our lunchroom at work (along with Bertoia chairs) and I’m preeeeeetty sure no one else knows what it is.

  • #1 + #5 are my favorites. although i think it’s pretty swell that you were able to keep the saucer pendant!

  • I LOVE that first one – so gorgeous!

  • My heart lurched when you said they tossed the other one out. Nooooooooo!

  • I love that you’ve been posting lighting fixtures for every pricepoint and shape!!! Thanks for the great resources Nicole!!!

  • annelies

    I just wanted to mention that the labels on the image (numbers 3 and 4) don’t match the legend.

    I love that saucer fixture.

  • oooh, number 3 is so pretty! and how cool that you inherited such a stylish fixture from the previous owners. it’s a bit heartbreaking that they threw one out! maybe someone went dumpster diving and found a treasure. :)

  • The first one reminds me of those Easter baskets I used to make with my mom where you wrap string around a balloon! I love the feeling or airiness, but I LOVE the tulip pendant!! Simple and feminine!

  • They did whaaaaaaaaat? D: D:

    These are all so lovely!

  • I love the fixtures you’ve got in there, they all look so delicate. There’s a whole bunch more at http://www.curatedonline.co.uk/collections/design-instinct too.

  • Gah to the thrown out Nelson pendant! Can you imagine all of the mid-century modern furniture that ended up at landfills and garage sales when it fell out of fashion?

    One of my fantasies is to find a little old lady estate sale FULL of such treasures…

  • That is the first time I’ve seen the tulip light! It’s adorable and affordable! Ah.. love an unplanned rhyme:)

  • Wow, that’s a really great moodboard! I could have all of the above at home- the tulip one is definitely my fave one!
