Mid Century Modern Lighting

Mid century modern lighting has outlasted every trend that tried to replace it, and for good reason: clean lines, honest materials and shapes that still look like the future seventy years on. This collection gathers NYRA LONDON's take on the era's icons, from sputnik chandeliers to opal globe pendants, each handcrafted to order rather than pulled from a mass production line.

Sputnik Chandeliers & Mid Century Modern Chandeliers

The sputnik chandelier is the defining fixture of the period: arms radiating from a central hub, each tipped with a point of light. Ours come in brushed brass, matte black and chrome, in sizes from compact 8 arm designs for bedrooms to large statement pieces for living and dining rooms. Alongside them you will find linear and cluster mid century modern chandeliers that carry the same geometry with a quieter voice.

Mid Century Pendant Lights & Globes

Opal glass globes, cone shades and articulated forms make up the pendant side of the collection. A row of globe pendants over a kitchen island or a single oversized cone above a reading chair delivers the era's signature look: simple shapes, warm brass details and light that feels soft rather than clinical.

Materials of the Era, Built to Last

Brushed brass, walnut toned accents, opal and smoked glass: the palette that defined the 1950s and 60s runs through every design here. Because each fixture is made to order, finishes, drop lengths, light color (warm, neutral or cool white) and voltage (110V to 240V, including the US 120V standard) are built to your specification, with dimmable options on compatible designs.

FAQs

What makes a light fixture mid century modern?

Clean geometric shapes, minimal ornament and honest materials: brass, opal glass, wood tones and matte finishes. The style favors sculptural silhouettes like starburst sputniks, globes and cones over decorative detail, so the fixture reads as a designed object rather than a decoration.

What size sputnik chandelier do I need?

Add your room's length and width in feet, and that number in inches is a good starting diameter. A 12ft by 14ft living room suits a sputnik around 26 inches across. Over a dining table, size it at one half to two thirds of the table width and hang it 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop.

Does mid century lighting work in a modern home?

Better than almost anything else. Mid century fixtures were designed to be simple and sculptural, so they sit naturally in contemporary, minimalist and even industrial interiors. A brass sputnik over a modern dining table is one of the most reliable pairings in interior design.

Do you ship mid century lighting to the US?

Yes. We ship across the US and worldwide with free delivery and all customs duties covered, so there are no import fees on arrival. Every fixture is wired for your country, including the US 120V standard, with mounting hardware included.
