Retro Lighting
under RetroRetro Lighting is an indulgence of the senses and practically never goes out of style. While the primary function of lighting is to brighten the room, artists for the better part of the last century have also sought to provide a touch of art to lighting. Retro Lighting is perhaps the pinnacle of this combination of functionality and art.
Retro Lighting primarily refers to lighting accessories made during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The style of the Tiffany lamp plays a prominent part in the retro lighting look, although it was first invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1899, when he got the idea of using stained glass pieces to make a lampshade while observing the construction of a stained glass window and seeing the discarded pieces of stained glass. Since then, more than a century later, stained glass lighting accessories continue to captivate our heart and indulge our senses.
Pieces of stained glass allow for the possibility of great eye-catching designs. They also allow the use of thousands of different colors and can make practically every design unique by the choice of color used. Whether they are lit or not, they provide a touch of art and elegance to any setting. They add color and vibrancy to any corner of the room they may be placed in or to the ceiling which is usually drab and single colored. When they are lit, they provide a soft and subdued light and soften up the entire room while providing a fantastic sprinkling of color. When they are lit during the day, they make artistic patterns on the walls or floor around them. No matter where they are placed, they add a little more life to that part of the room.
