Looking more industrial then culinary, the Stelle Modern Kitchen Island Light by Murray Feiss looks like it just came from On the Waterfront, right of the loading dock, and plopped right over your kitchen island. This rectangular industrial island pendant in maximalist features six incandescent 60 watt bulbs, for 360 watts of blinding illumination, and measures 38″ by 17″ and is 22.5″ tall, and can extend out even more, with the extra extension rods provided. This kitchen island light is not for everybody, but I’m sure the chef from Hell’s Kitchen would love this creation. It is stark, angular, and very stern. Perfect for larger kitchens or cooking academies.

Bottoms Up!

Good for your heart and easy on your liver, Tuscany Wine Bottle Mini pendants will have you toasting to your health every day, and setting the mood every night, for the never ending party in your home.

The Carolin Modern Island Lighting Fixture is a sweet thing indeed. This kitchen island light has an industrial, urban sensibility in its design, with warped, frosted glass panels dangling from a satin nickel lattice work. Not just for the kitchen, the Carolin could work in a conference room, boardroom, or a tall hallway or corridor. The Carolin uses six 50 Watt bulbs that reflect off the glass, and measures 27″ long by 7″ wide.

This light fixture hangs down 16″ from the ceiling with two satin nickel rods, with add-on rods which are also included (6″, 12″, 16″ respectively), if needed. I don’t know if Neil Diamond is singing it praises yet, but we are. This sweet Carolin Island light is made exclusively by PLC Lighting , and coming to kitchen near you.

There used to be a time, not to long ago, when Mediterranean referred to a certain style of lighting and design, including Franco-Roman, Grecian, and Spanish trends in decor from the 18th and 19th century. Usual traits included ornamentation, post Renaissance flourishes, and just a certain type of mood that you know when you saw it. But that has changed recently, as witness the Rivoli Wall Sconce. This modern wall sconce is prefect for hallways, bathroom and vanity lighting, and is bright enough for the task. The Rivoli measures 18″ tall by 10.5″ wide and extends only 4″ from the wall and utilizes four 60 watt bulbs with candelabra bases. It is also ADA Compliant, for those homes that require this feature. This wall sconce gives off a warm light that will calm you down after a long day at the office writing. It comes in polished nickel, and there is a 12″ version available, too. Made by Sonneman Lighting, this textured wall sconce will have you basking in its glow.

New from ET2 Lighting, The beauty of the Oracle round lighted wall mirror is in the framing. The Lucite and chrome circumference around this lighted modern mirror has a sleek, sophisticated and very effective design that complements the mirror, but does not overpower it. The Oracle measures 23.5″ in diameter, extends only 2″ from the wall and uses one 55W circuline fluorescent bulb which is included. The Oracle is great for contemporary homes, apartments, condominiums, and all modern vanity settings. Also perfect for hotels, motels, and corporate washrooms.

This fixture looks like it came from an Italian Spaghetti Space Opera, sort of like Barbarella meets the Jetson’s in Rome. The cylindrical body is complimented by concentric rings, and has etched glass on the bottom to diffuse the light.

Very noveau riche, and a bit feminist, too, this contemporary pendant lighting fixutre from Sonneman Lighting features six 60 watt bulbs, medium base and measures 38″ high by 28″ in diameter, with choice of rubbed bronze or polished nickel finishes. So, if you have contemporary / futuristic, Mediterranean, pop art post modern home, this is the fixture for you. At under a thousand dollars, it is a steal, in future perfect form.
