LIGHT BRIGHT T E X T PAUL HAGEN
The Sonneman Purolinear 360’s tubes rotate to make your lighting direct or indirect— depending on your needs.
LIGHTING STYLES FROM OLD-WORLD TO SPACE-AGE
Hudson Valley Lighting’s Orbit chandelier offers a soft glow from opal glass diffusers mixed with interlocking shapes in Aged Brass.
This MITZI Landis lamp stands about 18 inches— lending tabletop shine with a polished nickel base and interest with a perforated black shade.
J ust as there are near-infinite ways to shape a space, there are almost as many ways to light it. But whether you choose lighting that makes a state- ment all on its own, that strategically highlights certain aspects of a room, or that provides illumination while demurely vanishing into background can significantly alter how a space is perceived. Lovers of lighting that announces itself boldly will find themselves drawn to statement pieces, like the Orbit chandelier from Hudson Valley Light- ing. Or they may gravitate towards Kohler’s Aren- dela, which boasts distinctively textured surfaces inspired by briolette-cut gems. Fans of fixtures that wink back might prefer perforations, including the delicate Nyack line from Hudson Valley Lighting. Delight may also be
derived from dots that dance from Mitzi’s Landis or the scientific silhouette of the Troy Atticus. Good old-fashioned satisfaction may also be gleaned from lighting that hearkens back to an earlier time. Belfield by Moen, Duncan by Golden and Hauksbee by Kohler: each call to mind light fixtures one might find on the set of a meticulously researched period piece, yet the results are timeless. Depending on how it’s deployed, the Sonneman Purolinear 360 could be an eye-catching state- ment piece on its own. Each tube rotates so it can be used to create indirect light or strategically aimed to draw the eye. So, is the right light for your space a supremely sculptural chandelier or something more subtle and unobtrusive? Take a look at these options and see what sets off sparks.
Moen features Williamsburg-era details throughout its Belfield line, which means pieces like this One Globe Bath Light offer a traditional touch.
