Loft style pendant lights

Recently, the "loft" style and pendant lamps, made according to all the canons of this design direction, have become increasingly popular. Lighting fixtures will help to recreate a special atmosphere and return to the times of the industrial crisis in America, when the fashionable style was born today.

The heyday of the style began in the first half of the twentieth century in New York, where free artists settled their homes and workshops in abandoned office and industrial buildings. There was no renovation in these areas, so the rent was low. Later, the premises were appreciated by the American elite, as a result of which such housing became inaccessible to ordinary people.

From English "loft" is translated as "attic", but this does not mean that modern apartments must be located under the roof. The main thing is the appropriate interior design: the presence of communication systems and pipes, bare brick walls, plank floors, simple furniture, a minimum of decor and provocative or luxurious things.

Basically, the zoning of the premises is carried out thanks to light glass partitions and proper lighting. To this end, designers come up with original pendant lights. The materials for their manufacture are glass, metals and even household waste (cans, bottles).

Lighting plays a major role in creating a loft interior.

Its functions include:

• dividing a large area into several functional areas;
• lighting the space in accordance with sanitary norms and standards;
• giving the dwelling a unique image of an attic, in which there is no place for glamor and splendor.

One of the features of the "loft" - huge rooms with high ceilings. In this case, lighting and the correct placement of accents will turn the apartment into a cozy place for relaxation and creativity. In a large space, it is necessary to have large lamps that will not get lost against the general background.

Suspended loft-style lighting fixtures include several varieties:

• Industrial and industrial lighting are significant, because the dwellings were equipped in warehouses and industrial premises, where there were no bright objects. The lamps have a simple design and high functionality (equipped with adjustable fittings and rotary mechanisms). Appliances in these styles can give an apartment a zest and will look great in the kitchen or dining area, bathroom, as well as in the bedroom and living room, combined with eclectic décor.
• Vintage and retro - antique lanterns, wire structures, and Soviet-era shades will perfectly fit into the design of loft-style premises.

• Glass shades and lamps on long wires - conventional incandescent lamps are suspended on long cords, which are fixed to the ceiling or shaped in some other way. Lamps enclosed in glass shades look spectacular.

To give the dwelling the appearance of a former industrial area, you can use custom-made designer lamps for the specific needs of the owner of the apartment.

The loft style is suitable for self-confident creative people. The interior includes a room with high ceilings, huge windows and an abundance of light, both natural and artificial. Depending on this, the size of the lighting fixture with the appropriate characteristics is selected.

Suspended structures consisting of a large number of light bulbs are chandeliers that differ in configuration. There is a "spider chandelier" - it got its name from its shape similar to a spider.

Chandeliers-spotlights stylized as industrial lamps with cold light are interesting. Designer devices made in the form of irregular shapes look original.

Lighting devices are produced, which are a bunch of several incandescent lamps suspended on wires. Such chandeliers can be arranged symmetrically, asymmetrically - the imagination is not limited. Luminaires are often placed in wire shades that mimic the protective mesh of industrial lamps.

For the kitchen, chandeliers with aluminum shades are best suited. In the dining area, the lamps are placed on a metal bar directly above the table. Lighting fixtures on flexible cables should be installed in the bedroom. Luminaires can be decorated with metal, transparent or tinted glass.

The living room interior will be well complemented by a chandelier equipped with candle lamps. Carved details and other decor should not be present.

Loft lighting successfully combines modern technology and the charm of antique pieces, which makes chandeliers more creative. Very often, lighting fixtures are hung on chains - this adds a special charm to the whole room.

The Italian company Lussole launched the production of lamps in 1995. The brand is one of the most recognizable in the lighting market.

Loft-style premises require special lighting to help zone the space and create a special atmosphere of the production area. Lussole Loft luminaires are perfect for this purpose.

Chandeliers and pendant lights are distinguished by their functionality and ease of use, made of materials such as natural wood, glass. The lighting fixtures have an industrial design, swivel mechanisms to adjust the length of the chains and wires on which the lamps are located.

Loft-style lamps are the choice of free, extraordinary personalities. Suspended lighting devices will help to bring coziness to a large room, divide it into separate zones and act as a decorative element - an addition to the overall design solution.
