Ludo
While its style was inspired by a 1950s Italian design, the Ludo wall sconce is made in America—now. New York manufacturer Blueprint Lighting designed the 11" x 6" brass and spun-aluminum fixture to swivel, providing up- and downlight. It works with incandescent E12 candelabra- base lamps up to 40W or their LED alternatives. Options include 36 standard enamel colors, custom hues, and hardwired or plug-in versions.

Shaper Sense
Eaton Lighting partnered with felt-products manufacturer FilzFelt on a line of 3000K–4000K luminaires that also control sound. The Shaper Sense series combines FilzFelt’s 100% wool felt with Eaton’s edge-lit acrylic panels to form box-, trapezoid- and drum-shaped pendants. All are open on top, providing two-way illumination as well as improving daylight penetration when the sun is out. Shaper Sense works with Eaton’s wireless control systems.

Mela
Sonneman’s blown-glass LED pendant Mela, which means apple in Italian, is made more dynamic by its dichroic surface and fruit-like etched acrylic core. Offered in three sizes, the large (15" x 13¾"), medium (11" x 10¼"), and small (7½" x 7") versions deliver the same warm, dimmable 3000K glow and a color rendering index of 90. An optional three-light canopy is also available.

Fascio
Architect Lauren Rottet created the Fascio Collection for Visual Comfort with luxury in mind. The range includes wall sconces, pendants, a floor lamp, and chandelier, all made of crystal rods bundled (as its Italian name implies) in a band of brass. Finish options include bronze, polished nickel, and hand-rubbed antique brass. The faceted crystal delivers a refracted, glare-free glow.

Overlap
A new line of Flos pendants by Michael Anastassiades reimagines the cocoon-like style of the company’s iconic 1960s luminaires by Tobia Scarpa and Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Like the original “cocoon-wrap” luminaires, the new Overlap pendant features the same resin membrane invented decades ago to package U.S. Army shipments. This time, the material wraps a steel frame of two interlocking rings, providing soft, diffused illumination and a nostalgic ambience.

Lily
This streamlined pendant by Montreal-based Eureka Lighting features an optical-grade acrylic lens and adjustable cable. It can also pivot 180º on its high-quality hinge to provide precise illumination in any direction. For more design freedom, Lily is available with canopy mounting or a track system, and can be specified in custom lengths and colors. The circular luminaire is stocked in five standard colors.

Chime
New York manufacturer Stickbulb is rolling out a collection of chandeliers made of wood suspended from a powder-coated steel ring. The company debuted the concept at this year’s NYCxDesign, where a 10'-high version built from reclaimed wood won Best in Show. Now the cascading fixture is available in a choice of three sizes (20", 28", and 36" diameter) and five wood species in a variety of lengths of up to 12', arranged individually, clustered, or nested.

W151 Extra Large Pendant
In a reaction to the shrinking size of LEDs, architects Claesson Koivisto Rune designed a supersized fixture. The W151 Extra Large Pendant, from Swedish lighting company Wästberg, is a playfully unfussy cone-shaped luminaire made of spun aluminum in three simple variations—tall and narrow, low and wide, and medium.
