Contemporary Lighting | Sep 22, 2018

A brand like DelightFULL, whose area of focus is mid-century contemporary lighting design. We look at some of DelightFULL’s pieces that could easily be part of mid-century United States decor. So lets go on a tour through the US during mid 20th century.

New York

Is there anything that defines mid-century New York more than a bar? Anything that was remotely important was discussed over a glass of liquor. A New York bar is as important to its owner as is to its costumers. Picking the right ceiling lamp for a bar is crucial and we know exactly which one we would use.

Atomic suspension lamp is the perfect blend between a mid-century inspired ceiling lamp and a contemporary lamp. Deeply rooted in the mid-century style, with contemporary influence, this piece features a molecular design with costumizable finishes.

This stylish suspended ceiling light is the right fit for a contemporary living room, or even for a more modern master bedroom aswell.

Los Angeles

Mid-century Los Angeles is defined by a style of interior design named Hollywood Glam. This style is characterized by a search for more luxurious and flamboyant pieces to decorate a room. Looking at lighting pieces that share this aesthetic, you’ll find countless pieces that can easily be part of this style.

If we had to point out a piece that we feel like it resonated with the Hollywood Glam aesthetic more, we would look no further than the Turner table lamp.

Inspired by the great pop singer Tina Turner, this table lamp feels like the perfect fit to your modern home decor. A versatile piece, that can be used in almost any room of your house, this brass desk lamp shines when placed in a living room or entry hallway to “wow” your guests.

New Orleans

New Orleans, one of the most imporant places when it comes to racial and cultural history in the United States. Birthplace of Jazz. The influence that this city has on the american culture is incalculable.

The local jazz clubs/bars were the center of attention and cultural gatherings. It was there, that experimental music and revolutionary ideas were played and discussed. For a place like that, you need the perfect ceiling lamp that reflects that culture and that space.

This mid-century lighting design piece was inspired by an American trumpet player as a tribute to jazz music. With a structure handmade in brass and boasting a sophisticated gold-plated finish, this modern ceiling light showcases the high-quality craftsmanship for which DelightFULL is best known for.

Miami

The eastern version of Los Angeles, Miami, out of all of these cities we pointed out, this is the youngest city out of all of them. Strongly rooted in the southern part of the american continent,

Miami boomed in the 70’s due to an imigration wave coming from southern countries, namely, Cuba, Costa Rica and Venezuela (Scarface is basically an action packed documentary of that) plus, they had Miami Vice, a very popular TV show at that time, both portrayed the idea of Miami’s fast evolution very well.

The interior decor style that reigned over Miami during its early decades was more of a blend between the Hollywood Glam of Los Angeles and the Modern and sophisticated style of New York. The result was an interior style that wanted luxurious pieces with a sophisticated aesthetic.

Every single piece featured in a Miami home was a product of lust and sophistication. The perfect blend between New York and Los Angeles.
