Made in the Shade

Plainly put, oversized shades are in.  Pendent lights everywhere are dressing in large-scale shades, taking lighting to a new decorative level.  These hanging items of haute decor are not only suspended over dining tables and kitchen work-spaces, where pendents traditionally tack, but are replacing the floor and bedside table lamps in living rooms and bedrooms respectively. 

Above, the bright-amythist silk shade by Michele Bönan  puts a contemporary twist on an otherwise old-world magnificence.

Interior Designer Lee Kleinhelter creates a mirror image with a large metallic shade hanging from the ceiling,  and a round, similarly sized stool as a bedside table nestled between two wonderfully loud, citrus upholstered headboards.

Mary Lynn Turner adds these unique wire and cloth shades to her kitchen in Ketchum, Idaho to give a softer rustic accent to the warm, but mostly wooden cooking space. These are very similar to the vintage pendants we're using for Buccan, Palm Beach!
