Lately I've been drawn to bright, shiny objects, particularly copper pendant lights. Copper is so gorgeous, and works well in everything from sinks to cookware and kitchen tools. But I think these smooth, shiny lights are my favorite use yet. They're a little bit 70's retro, a little bit futuristic, both warm and cool-looking. What's not to like?

The orb lights above are likely made by Tom Dixon, but the other shapes are just as fetching. Interested in getting the look for yourself? Check out a few shopping resources below:
