These fixtures are so unique and beautiful in real life! The Shell Pendant Light measures 20.5″ Diameter x 31″ H with 3′ long wire. It is available in black or white, made from sliced seashells handcrafted to resemble clusters of flowers. It is also UL and TUVus approved, meaning it has been rigorously tested and evaluated and is found to be safe (as per definition of the relevant standard).

Visit Neiman Marcus or Horchow for more information.

The Mirror Ball Pendant Light by Tom Dixon is a very modern fixture made of plastic with a metallic film placed inside, creating a mirror-like finish. Light is centralized downward, servicing as great task and focused lighting. The lamp is UL listed, which is appropriate for Commercial and Residential use.

Interesting enough, the Mirror Ball Pendant Light is also featured in a current AT&T commercial featuring Luke Wilson. It can be seen at :06 and again at :20 of the following:

Ah, the joys of being a Interior Design & decor voyeur… watching something as simple as a commercial for an unrelated product, and ignoring the purposes of the commercial, admiring the decor.

I went to the Hospitality Design Show in Las Vegas a few years ago, and found myself literally staring into the ceiling of an incredible lighting booth for at least fifteen minutes-jaw dropped, eyes unblinking, trying to figure out how this amazing fixture was working. I was at the Studio Italia Design booth, staring incredulously at the Nuvola SO2 Pendant Light, by Denis Santachiara. The word ‘nuvola’ means cloud in Italian… which was exactly how the fixture looked and was mimicking. It is suspended, made of special fireproof fabric which looks soft like a cloud, internally lit. The best feature- an internal motor and two mechanical arms, smoothly undulating giving a life-like movement to the cloud. I cannot begin to describe what it  feels like watching this in real life. I searched and searched for video of this exact fixture, and the closest I came was a video from a show by Denis Santachiara showing a much larger installation called The Grande Nuvola. The cloud on the left side of the screen moves most like the Nuvola SO2 Pendant Light.
