ZGallerie – Belvedere Hanging Lamp – $69.95(The Belvedere Hanging Lamp is the chic lighting solution. Completely enclosed, this fanciful dome majestically radiates light.)(above)
Just got home from an evening at Barney’s Beanery and the Palihouse (two establishments that are polar opposites of each other). Went out to watch the Houston Rockets lose to the Los Angeles Lakers (why I was compelled to go to this outing, I do not know…) at a well known but very very basic sports bar here in Los Angeles (I had draft beer and ate nachos…a far cry from my usual snooty event). We also watched Iowa beat Georgia Tech in some bowl game (don’t know what kind of bowl this was but lots of nice Iowa natives explained the importance I think). And then to balance out the evening, we stopped by the chic Palihouse to have a drink after (normal civility consisted of a champagne drink and a baguette (the last piece of bread left because the kitchen had closed)).
Tired…but had to show off some cool round lights before dozing off. The crystal ball versions are appropriate for the beginning of a decade I think. I would love to see into the future and figure out what it holds for me and those around me. Since a magical crystal ball probably won’t predict my future…I’ll just go for the practical crystal balls for now…would love to just look at one of these lights dangling from the ceiling of my oh-so small Hollywood Hills cottage.
What do you think of this lighting?
The Conran Shop – Globo Pendant Lamp – $150(A simple sphere made from rotational-molded polyethylene, Guglielmo Berchicci’s Globo lamps provide a strong, yet diffused light.)(above)
CB2 – Firefly Pendant Lamp – $199(Industrial modern chandelier suspends five glass globes from black iron canopy. Pendants stagger in length on black cords 15″ to 29″. Great look with filament bulbs. Hanging hardware included.)(above)
Hive Modern – Le Klint LK101 – $218-248 (These hand-folded sculptural lamps have been in continuous production in Denmark by Le Klint. A smart alternative, or compliment to a Nelson bubble lamp. Made from a color stabilized white PVC which is completely washable and anti-static.)(above)
The Conran Shop – Bocci 14 Series 3 Pendant – $930 (Designed by Omer Arbel for Bocci, the 14 series are a family of low voltage pendant lighting designed to be clustered and displayed in groups. Each individual pendant is an articulated, seamed, cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void which houses a 10 watt bocci long life xenon lamp or a standard halogen. The cast glass bubbles are each unique – no two will be alike. Each pendant is supplied with 10′ of cable and can be adjusted to any height)(above)
Mecox Gardens – Silver Leafed Round Iron Chandelier – $1,050 (Wrought iron antique silver leafed circle chandelier.)(above)
Horchow – “Crystal Ball” Chandelier – $2,450 (Dale Tiffany hanging light.)(above)
Hands down, the Bocci pendants are my favorite. I have used them in a project and they light so beautifully.
thanks,

i really am liking the b2 firefly pendants!
Beautiful fixtures! That Z Gallerie one is so cool and such a great price. I like the Globo from Conran or the Firefly from CB2 if you want to go a bit simpler.
What a great collection! I love the simple ones from CB2. I think they would look great with the clear light bulbs that show the filaments.
I want the Horchow crystal ball in my chandelier. I can imagine the sun bouncing off the crystals on to the walls – a little bling is definitely necessary in a dressing room. I adore your blog!
I’ll take the BOCCI 14 SERIES 36 PENDANT for
$13,956.00, thank you very much!
Not sure where I’d put it but I definately NEED the first chandelier. It’s to die for!!!

Great selection of pendants! I actually really love the one from Mecox! (So nice to see a selection in a broad range of pricing.) 🙂
I’ve had my eye on the Bocci pendants for a while now. They look amazing when hung in big clusters! It’s lovely to find your wonderful blog!
The great thing about the ball-shaped crystal fixtures is that they cast such a mesmerizing dance of pattern around the entire space they are in from ceiling to floor. -Really lovely lit at night, but also when placed where they can catch the sun throughout the day…Pollyanna-esque. Thanks for sharing your finds! ~lb
Wow! I LOVE the knock off! ANd the price!
