Circle of Light

I wanted to switch out the standard lighting fixtures in our condo. They were a little too cottage-y/ country for my taste. Instead, I wanted a fixture that was bold yet simple, and of course easy on my pocketbook. I was out at LIME in San Francisco grabbing a drink our good friends, Steve & Ian, and noticed their fabulous orbs! From the looks of them, they looked like the Artemide Castore Suspension pendants that typically cost over $200 each.

I found a nice alternative through Seagull for less than $80. It was 14" in diameter, and I hung it 36" from the top of the dining room table. 36" by the way is the recommended distance for dining tables.
