There’s a spiky lighting fixture that’s simultaneously futuristic and Sputnik retro and grabs my attention when I visit it. (All these sightings are quite rare.) The nest-like sculpture by Jean de Merry is called the Lumière Chandelier. It hangs from ceilings in all sorts of rooms and locates a place within all kinds of design styles. The Lumière hovers over dining tables, floats in refined salons and brings attention in miniature powder rooms and vast great rooms. See if you have a room in mind with this unique fixture.

Lumière Chandelier by Jean de Merry
There are a range of different finishes available (polished or satin nickel, ebonized metal), but the antiqued brass finish adds the fixture its own space-age retro appeal. The lights wrapped within the metal reflect off it, adding more variation to the metallic tones.

The chandelier stuns at a dining room.
Hint: Choose and edit your statement-making pieces wisely. In this room, the patterned chair backs, the subtle mirror framework loops along with the chandelier bring in flair yet permit the room to stay calm and minimalist.

Sizes range from 30 inches from 24 inches to 60 inches by 32 inches. A well-placed Lumière brings up the eye in this jewel box with a powder room. The finish plays off the mirror, the sconces along with the vanity’s hardware.

When placed among rough-hewn beams at a mountain house, the fixture becomes a contemporary aerie.

In a more traditional or transitional area, the Lumière announces “This room was updated,” and eradicates any stale or stuffy atmosphere.
