Your light, in the finish you choose
Every light on this page is made to order, so you choose the finish before it's built: polished, brushed, raw or antique brass, chrome, or matte black. Some designs offer as many as nine.
Not sure where to start? A chandelier anchors a dining table or a stairwell. A wall sconce lights a bedside or a hallway without taking up table space. A flush mount suits a low ceiling, and a table lamp moves from room to room with you.
Not sure which light is right?
Tell us about the room and send the ceiling height and a photo of the wall. We will reply with two or three lights that suit it, and the finish we would choose. It is free, with no obligation to order.

Mid Century Modern Lighting, Shaped in Brass
Our mid century modern lighting collection gathers handmade brass lighting, from a compact wall sconce to a twelve-light chandelier. Many designs draw on the clean lines and warm metal of 1950s Italian style, and every light is custom made with a Finish option you choose before it goes into production.
Stilnovo style and Sputnik style
Two silhouettes run through the range. Stilnovo style lighting favors cones, cylinders and clean lines, quiet and architectural. Sputnik style lighting is bolder: a brass core with arms radiating in every direction, like a starburst caught in metal. Both sit easily in rooms that mix vintage pieces with modern furniture, which is why mid century modern lighting works in so many homes.
Finding the right light for each room
- Dining and living rooms: a brass Sputnik chandelier or a Stilnovo style ceiling lamp gives the room a clear center.
- Bedrooms, hallways and reading corners: brass wall sconces with glass globes, cylinders, dome shades or articulated arms.
- Kitchens, entryways and lower ceilings: brass flush mount ceiling lights and adjustable spotlights that stay close to the ceiling.
- Side tables and desks: handcrafted brass table lamps, including an unlacquered brass design.
Choosing a finish
Most pieces are worked in raw, pure or solid brass, and some pair the metal with hand-blown opal glass, marble or leather. The Finish option on each product page lets you match a light to the hardware and textiles already in your home. If brass is the starting point of your scheme, browse our full edit of brass light fixtures.
How ordering works
Each light is custom made for your order. Allow 2 days of processing, then 7 to 10 business days for delivery. Because every piece is made to your chosen finish, lighting is non-returnable except for damage or defect, which is resolved with a replacement.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Stilnovo style and Sputnik style lighting?
Stilnovo style designs use cones, cylinders and clean lines for a calm, architectural outline. Sputnik style designs radiate many brass arms from a central core in a starburst shape.
Can I choose the finish on a mid century modern light?
Yes. Every light in the collection has a Finish option that you select on the product page before ordering.
How long does handmade brass lighting take to arrive?
Each light is custom made, so allow 2 days of processing and then 7 to 10 business days for delivery.
Can I return a light?
Lighting is custom made and non-returnable, except for damage or defect. In that case the light is replaced.
