I love how simple this lamp is. Hinge, arm, bulb and that's it. No fuss.

This feather like paper pendant and sconce look like they would add a good amount of soft light. I think it would look stellar to do three pendants in row above a dining table.

"Filo paper and a brushed nickel shade. This wispy lighting piece is more like illuminated art and will give any room a new approach to lighting."

16"h x 7"w pendant.
Includes 50 watt MR16 halogen bulb.
