Cascade Wall Light

Description

Inspiration for the Cascade Wall Light came from luminaires of the Art Deco period. Art Deco is an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France just before World War I and began flourishing internationally from the 1920s thru the 40s. It took its name from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors and bold geometric shapes. The Art Deco movement flourished during the interwar years when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes was an embrace of technology. It has been defined as an assertively modern style that emphasizes symmetry rather than asymmetry, and the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

Trimmed with clear faceted bead chains, the Cascade Wall Light is reminiscent of lighting found in the twenties. The beauty of its crystal chains is enhanced when the four internal lamps of this wall light are switched on. Its handcrafted metal parts are offered in a variety of finishes. This exquisite luminaire was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD. Custom sizing is available.
