Today's Icons: The Hicks Pendant Light
Classic design, simple shape and beautiful detailing result in a perfect multi-use light fixture
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

It is really hard to choose a light fixture today, mostly because there are so many fantastic options out there. One option that's a no-brainer is the Hicks Pendant. It is a simple fixture that is loaded with style, and the different finishes and sizes available let it fit into just about any scale or style of room. Designed by Thomas O'Brien, this hanging globe oozes his iconic American Modern style.

In bronze and antique hand-rubbed brass, the pendant takes on a vintage-modern look.
The Hicks pendant is available in small, large, and extra large. Here, a single extra-large pendant hung low over a small dining table makes a big statement.

The large size works well when hung way overhead, as in this high-ceilinged kitchen. The globe shape means that the pendant can fit right into mid-century modern style rooms.

| The smaller size is ideal to use in multiples, and works very well over kitchen islands. |

| The polished nickel finish has a sleeker, more contemporary look. |

| Here, hand-rubbed antique brass finish on the fixture adds to the warm glow of this kitchen. |
Here the designer has saved nightstand space by hanging a Hicks Pendant in lieu of a table lamp. In this shot, you can see that the unique chain has rectangular links, which play off the pendant's round shape.

Joanne Cannell Designs I love these pendants. But they don't seem to come with energy efficient options - LED or florescent - so it looks like I won't be able to use more than one, if that , in any kitchens I design in California.
