Nodes task, ceiling and wall lighting is minimal yet bold, highlighting Kelly's distinctive juxtaposition of mixed-materiality and curvilinear form. Light radiates from milk glass globes set against metal discs. All fixtures can be used or without the discs. The cast canopy is available in Burnished Brass or Midnight Black. Hanging fixtures within this family feature black fabric cords, while pivot sconces can be cord and plug or hard wire.
Selecting lighting over the internet can be stressful and a mistake can be costly. The Lighting Gallery Team is available to help you any way we can; answering product questions, sending finish samples, providing Trade pricing or even virtual tours of the displays.
