Ceiling fixtures and chandeliers played a more important role in the lighting schemes of the 1930s than they do now in our halogen-driven "task light" times. Designing and making them was a serious business that widely contributed to the look of the period. Modernista picked this planetary ceiling fixture, one of many anonymous 1930s masterpieces, for its elegance, simplicity and ingenious design (we invite visitors to our store to guess how the horizontal plate can sit on to the ball). It looks great in any setting – period or contemporary, residential or commercial. Trade enquiries are welcome.
