Last week on Decor8, Holly featured a piece (actually a few!) on the Emperor's Lamp by Design Dessert (you can see her post here).
The simple lines created by the silhouette of this lamp reminded me of a piece I've always loved by the Urban Electric Company...
The Anson Ribbon pendant lamp is a statement piece in this bright aqua, but its thin metal construction keeps it from feeling to heavy or overwhelming. I would love to see this piece in a room of red and aqua - maybe a fun kitchen or dining room! Plus, what a great DIY project to spray up an old chandelier (how many of these have you seen in the thrift store?) with a fun and bright color?
Some other favorites from the same company, whose pendants and sconces are offer a wonderful selection if you're in the market for lantern inspired pieces or clean and simple lines.
The Carlyn (sexy and sleek) and the Cirque (modern chinoiserie!).
Gunston (love the shape!) and Balfour (love how it blends into the wall).
Maxine (a nice mid-mod piece) and the Lafayette Double (pretty much gorgeous anywhere you put it).
