I found this wallpaper when shopping online the other day and was thrilled to find a Houzz designer using it. It features the PH Artichoke Light prominently. The actual pendant lamp here is the PH 50. Doesn't it look smashing with the Saarinen Table and the Eames Shell Chairs? I'm finding most PH light owners have paired them with other mid-century iconic pieces.
The PH 50 is a spinoff of the original PH 5, designed in 1958. The diameter is 50 centimeters, hence the name. The new release comes in 5 new fun colors like this sleek black.
By the way, if you click on this picture, I've tagged it with information on where to buy the lamp and the wallpaper. Just look for the green tags.
This Melbourne kitchen is a Mid-Century Modern lover's dream. Eames chairs, a marble-topped Saarinen dining table, and groovy wallpaper that echoes the design of the classic pendant light.
Style Secret: Statement LightingSputnik chandeliers, Bubble lights, Arco floor lamps — classic midcentury lighting pumps up a room's drama. Although its forms are sculptural enough to double as art, function remains paramount. Yet lighting fixtures from this era are so striking that they've become design motifs all their own; the wallpaper in this dining area even features the PH Artichoke light. Make it yours: These fixtures are so powerful that it's best to let them have the spotlight — don't force them to compete with each other in a single space. Three or four in one room is like adding too much vermouth to your martini.
Midcentury modern design has real beauty and a very recognizable aesthetic. It is grounded in the philosophy of its time, which sought a sleek simplicity and an integration with the outdoors.

Don't like the wallpaper. However, the Eames chairs and table would be a good touch in my very small dining area. (right now I have a set of black wire ice cream chairs and a bench and a pieced together round table that look, well, borrowed, dated, and rather sad.). I also love the thinness and lightness of the tabletop.
