Post-modern design keeps the clean build of modernism and lets the geometry play. This page currently holds one design in seven sizes and two finishes, which is close to how the style tends to be used anyway, a single deliberate piece rather than a matched set.

One design, sized in lights

Helia is measured in lights rather than inches, from 8 up to 35, in metallic gold or black ash, warm white at 3000K and dimmable with a standard wall dimmer. Scale is the variable here, which carries one silhouette from a hallway fixture at the small end to a dining room statement at the large.

Choosing a size

Start from the room formula, length plus width in feet read as inches, then let the light count settle it: 8 or 10 lights suit a hallway or bedroom, 12 to 20 carry a living room, and 25 or 35 are built for a dining room or a stairwell. Keep 7 feet of clearance underneath, or 30 to 36 inches above a table.

Where one bold piece works

A statement fixture needs a quiet room more than a big one: restrained furniture, one clear sightline, a stairwell where the piece reads from two floors. A dining room with plain walls is the obvious case, and the wider dining room light fixtures range shows what sits around the table beneath it. If the scale is too much, a modern chandelier is quieter.

Choose the finish the room already leans toward, then trust the formula on size.
