Single bulb pendant lights look great in my humble opinion.
I like the colourful versions produced by N.U.D Collection in Sweden; such a simple, yet groovy way to shed light.
The pendant cord is three metres long, which means you can suspend the light off to one side if your light fixture is located in the centre of the ceiling.

Muuto a Scandinavian group also produce a series of bulb pendants in just single colours. They are called E27 pendant lights.
And Australian design firm Lightly do a very funky version of the single bulb pendant. These are woven 14mm rope lights which lend themselves to macrame like creations. It gets the thumbs up for being Australian made and owned.

Having done my research, I think single bulb pendant lighting will feature at the Sow's Ear in the near future. What do you think? (That question is directed mostly to Anonymous Louise who often laments my lighting choices)
I can see an bright coloured NUD pendant light in your abode. Very groovy and on-trend. I like to play around with words I have no qualification to use. ha!
ReplyDeleteI know your feelings on replicas but for those readers who have no qualms (like moi) Matt Blatt has a rip off E27 here. The real thing is available at Top 3 by Design for $158 so not much of a saving. So I guess I'll just go back to lurking :P
ReplyDeleteI like them, it's a nice look. I like many of the Lightly designs too :)
ReplyDeleteIf you do decide on these lights, Bris, then get about 100 spare bulbs at the same time. In Britain they are talking about banning every type of bulb except the low-energy ones.
ReplyDeleteyum yum and double yum le xox ps make mine lime ...
ReplyDeleteI like them too! I just see some sort of strangulation accident or swinging from/ceiling collapse incident happening if we had them.
ReplyDeleteTake Tom’s advice and get an unfrosted old school 100 watt globe.
ReplyDeleteFind a brick wall, get some white paint and then write on the wall in perfect sans serif uppercase –
‘CALLAN’
Start that baby swinging.
Edward Woodward would, or rather would’ve.
Good call.
I think your choices would really suit the old Sow's ear. Not too fussy but interesting as well. Where are you going to pop them? I like the concept of one on each side of the bed ala several couples on The Block but this could also be a fad that lasts 5 minutes. You have tyre swing so you should be safe with the long option as the minibeasts have somewhere else to monkey around. melx
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call a man with a wooden head? Edward.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call a man with 2 wooden heads? Edward Woodward.
Gen Y readers will me completely mystified by your comments Mr Rooney and Tom Stephenson...Callan indeed! xx
ReplyDeleteThe bare bulb trend is one I am not keen on right now.
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem practical, and seem 'unfinished' to me.
Oh light fittings, where do you begin to choose?? I am not a fan of down lights, i'd just like anything that doesn't blow the bulbs too often. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteIt is anonymous Natalie ... not Louise !!! Oh how quickly we forget. Am back from NYC ... LOVED IT. In answer to your question about your lights ... I am a bit undecided. I don't hate them and definitely like them more than your other recent choices but I don't love them. To me they just look like a light bulb without being dressed. I know I'm difficult. The important thing is that you love them. BTW, the painting is looking FAB.
ReplyDeleteNatalie
I know Natalie. What was I thinking calling you Louise? Thelma and Louise? You were gone too long.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are hard to please. Did you find a light for me in NY???
My search for lights to please you will be remorseless. xx
