Sputnik Chandeliers

When the sputnik satellite was sent out into space decades ago, it represented mankind’s boldest attempt at exploring the universe. Today, this inspirational event continues to influence the lighting design team’s vision, as evidenced in our premier line of sputnik chandeliers, which are intended to bring an air of sophistication, symmetry, and elegance to any home or office space they are installed in. 

There’s a wide variety of options to choose from in this category, such as geometric, glass bubble, gold, nordic, or chromium designs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sputnik Chandeliers

What is a Sputnik Chandelier?

The Sputnik chandelier is a timeless classic that stands out in any home. It is so space age inspired and deservedly so-from the first satellite ever launched by the Soviet government, the Sputnik 1 back in 1957. It is essentially an artifact of history and so avant garde! 
The whole look feels futuristic, bold and graceful in a simultaneously past and present way. And those arms just spiking out so radially, glamorous and dynamic at the same time? That is a chandelier that will deliver some great style in modern elegance to any home!

Are Sputnik Chandeliers Still in Style?

Totally 100%! Sputnik chandeliers got that mid-century contemporary thing going-it's like they're really evergreen. They'll always be in style because they are so versatile and add elegance in virtually every corner of the home. The beauty of Sputnik chandeliers is that they work with their look. For making a small room feel bigger-Sputnik it! Or if it's a large room, give it a little coziness and invitation then it can also do that trick. 

How to Choose a Sputnik Chandelier?

If the room is small and rather cramped, please do not pick a chandelier with 500 sorts of arms! Just a few arms or bulbs will do just fine, and it sure won't feel like the chandelier means to attack. In larger rooms, you’ll want something more dramatic—think multiple arms and a larger frame, and plenty of bling. 
And let's not forget the finish: gold is totally antiquated, but totally perfect if you're feeling adventurous, try matte black or brushed nickel. Oh, and LED bulbs are a must—they’re energy efficient and last forever. 

 
How to Style a Sputnik Chandelier?

If you’re going to use a Sputnik Chandelier, let it really shine (literally)! You don’t want it competing too much with other decor. Keep the other pieces in the room simple and let the chandelier be the star attraction. 
And to really lean into the midcentury character, think about adding furniture or decor inspired by the 1940s or 50s. Trust me, it will tie the whole room together and makes the space feel put together.
