Atomic Light
The Space Race of the 1950s paved the way for the Atomic Age, a niche era of design folded into the more popular Mid-Century Modern. Characterized by round globes and bursting lines, atomic design birthed the Sputnik chandelier, burst pendant, and atomic light. Looking to the sky was en vogue, drawing upon starburst shapes and galactic atoms to create something futuristic and fashionable. The result is a style that feels both vintage and forward-thinking.
