Archinect members have never let me down...this time, i'm looking for a well designed pendant lamp or ceiling fixture for my new apartment...something either restrained Modernist or attention-grabbing funky...any direction?
Good choice daver, but my favourite has to be the classic PH-5 Pendant.

Yea, Poulsen has some very nice designs. The Artichoke is also up there as a favorite of mine and along the same fragmented lines Ingo Maurer's "Lover Letters" (aka Zettel'z 6) is striking.

PH Artichoke is a lovely fixture, until you look at the pricetag!

i love poulsen's fixtures but not the artichoke. maybe it's too ornate for my tastes. or maybe it's because i see it used a lot. and yeah, the price hurts too.
Call your Poulsen rep. They have a professional program that will save you some bucks.

i didnt want to start a new thread since i found this one, so does anyone know of any cheap/rather large pendant lamps? i searched for the nelson lamp- but they are all so expensive and not so large- i would need three to fill the foyer that we need them for.
thanks

Seriously, try Overstock dot com. They often have good stuff for quite inexpensive. We shop there for clients a LOT.

Lowes, $182. The glass is eight inches in diameter. By several if you want to go big.

What do you see in that fixture, volunteer? What is the quality of light like? I ask because it looks harsh. I look for invisible light sources (no visible bulb) and diffuse even light.

The antique style bulb comes in different wattages or you can use a dimmer. It is for mood lighting - not harsh at all. Partly old style and partly contemporary. I just like it, and the price is a good value.

I am a hipster? Say it isn't so.
Modernism was supposed to bring well-designed 'stuff'' into the financial range of everyone. Sadly, that hasn't happened. Who has $5,000 to spend on a Barcelona chair? There are some objects that are will-designed and affordable. Maybe we should list some of those?
Here is a small candleholder by Iittala from Crate and Barrel. $6.95. Very useful for holding paperclips and coins on a desk as well.

I honestly don't know what's hipster anymore, just thought it quite funny that your lamp of choice is a signifier of gentrification.

expensive..but ingo-maurer.com
or artemide.com...
also this fixture http://www.ivalolighting.com/
designed by lewis tsurumaki and lewis..
Huge selection, pricey, but soem very cool stuff. http://www.ylighting.com/designer-pendants-allitems.html
I have longed for that Louis Poulsen PH 5 pendant. Someday.
Karim Rashid's Kovac lights are really nice. I like the floor standing ones better than the pendants, but still nice.

i meant to add to above go to product tab
nelson lamps - sell em at dwr, give off very nice light... I even convinced my mom to put one in her kitchen.
i love droog design's frosted milk bottles. sold as a single or as a large mass. i think the singles are pretty reasonably priced.
Tord Boontje Garland Light or Midsummer Light
Both very cheap and sexy.

Just apply some filters to your search, according to your needs.
Some have the price listed, for some you have to dig more.
Hope this helps
