The launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957 captured the world`s imagination, dawning a new era of design innovation in the race to reach the stars. The Sputnik chandelier embodied this spirit of modernity and became an icon of mid-century style. Our Glendale pendant revives the innovative spirit of Sputnik by suspending the signature starburst within a crisp, black, textured iron cube to create a play of stunning effects. The capsule shape of the tungsten filament bulbs offers smooth respite from the striking linear motifs. Extending the starburst`s sleek metal rays to anchor points in the cube`s inner corners allows the chandelier to float within a darkly outlined space.
