Jonathan Y - Bleecker 7.75" Metal/Glass Globe LED Pendant - Clear/Oil Rubbed Bronze

Though originally used in pharmacies because of their simple upkeep -- the glass is simple to dust, bulbs easily changed from removing the shade from below -- this pendant's silhouette is perhaps most famously known by students of the 1950s as "the schoolhouse pendant" thanks to a large government order that made this the official light of chemistry labs until the mid-70s when fluorescents were installed (forgive them!). We took inspiration from the original -- gracious curves, simple upkeep, and adjustable drop -- because if there is one thing we have learned, it's that great design never goes out of style.

Originally trending during the turn of the century when artisans found ways to repurpose lantern frames no longer in use with the dawn of electricity and therefore, streetlamps, the open frame pendant has been a mainstay in traditional homes ever since. With a bulb that is easy to change and no shade to dust, they are prized for their simple maintenance in addition to their chic design. With an adjustable chain to customize your drop, this style would be a bright idea for any foyer or kitchen island.

Industrial design modernized for today's homes, this single light globe pendant brings a feel of minimalism to kitchens, dining rooms, and any other space that could use a little extra light. Its canopy and shade holder are crafted from metal, while the spherical glass shade suspends, almost weightlessly, above kitchen islands, breakfast bars, and beyond. It looks fabulous as an accent piece, or hung in multiples.
