Over the last month or so I have fallen in love with the iconic Mid Century Modern Sputnik Chandelier but this week it turned into an OBSESSION.
Influenced by the "Atomic Age" it is easily recognized by its many arms exploding from a single orb, extending to an individual lightbulb. Today this iconic piece has been recreated in many different ways, you can purchase it in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. This is an amazing piece for any room to add interest and history
The Sputnik was extremely popular in the 1960's but was actually designed 3 years before Sputnik Satellite was ever launched in to space. The original Sputnik-style designs were made in 1954 by Gino Sarfatti. Unfortunately for Gino these designs were discontinued in 1959, but the design lived on being recreated by many copy-cats.
So thank you Gino Sarfatti. Because of you, this week I am Obsessed.
