Pastel shades were often used in the Art Nouveau style around 1900, and soft colours were also popular in the 1950s. Currently, we are seeing this sweet colour palette being used again in many modern interiors. Art Deco Trade is committed to the principle of colour harmony and offers beautiful Coloured by Art© lamps in white and in stunning colours.
Retro lamps on textile cord
Lamps with linen or cotton cords evoke the ultimate Retro/Fifties/Flower Power feeling. At Art Deco Trade, you can easily order fantastic lamps with a white textile cord. These lamps have a cool and trendy look. The cord is made of white cotton with a hint of shine/mother-of-pearl and mounted on a white patinated fixture with a basic, sleek look.
Retro lamps on a cord look best with a glass shade with grip size 8 and grip size 10. Any glass shade with grip size 8 and grip size 10 can be combined with a braided cord. Other grip sizes are available on request.
Choosing a glass shade in grip size 8 or grip size 10 gives you the most options. Consider, for example, hanging the Retro lamps in groups on various cords of unequal lengths, for example in a hall, stairwell or above the coffee table. This creates a playful effect. It is also possible to order several Retro models on fabric cords of various lengths on a larger ceiling plate, creating a fantastic chandelier.
Two or three lamps in a row on a ceiling beam are both attractive and practical.
