I WISH they were in my budget!

I have a little one. :)

It's the mini-fiamma in amber, on a chain in my doorway.

Not only are these lovely, the company are very, very nice to work with, and can put things together just the way you want.

The are fabulous! I'm totally going to try and squeeze on in somewhere! I'm thinking one of the chandeliers would look amazing in my closet!

omigosh, I LOVE these!! Alas, not in my budget, either.
:(

I have been drooling over these for a coupla years. If you'll give me permission to swag one over to my DR table, I will gladly purchase one!

My dumba$$ electrician put the ceiling canopy in the middle of the room, even though I told him three times not to. I gave up on that one and let it stay, thinking I was going to put in a Tech monorail system anyway and it really wouldn't matter.

Well, one year and one financial meltdown later and I still don't have the Tech system. Too expensive. I still have the $18 place-holder. Oh, and my husband hung one of his "sculptures" from the heinous CFL. It's a design nightmare!!

So, enough whining...can I please swag?? :-)

Oh amy, you have my full permission to swag. With one of those fabulous lights who is going to notice. Besides, then you can send me your husbands sculpture. I've been looking for a lantern that looks just like that - sort of earthy yet industrial. I'd just hang it around a bare bulb fixture and voila! the hall fixture of my dreams.

Hi, I'm the Co-owner of CX Design in New York and was happy to see the nice feature on our Cristallo lighting fixtures on the Urban Grace blog. That was a very creative use of our Murano glass lighting, Erika is very talented!

Amy, feel free to contact me about swaging a pendant or Chandelier; we set that up for clients all the time and have super quality hooks (solid brass, not the Home Depot type!) that can be used with a chain or stem/loop combo.

Richard, thank you! Now that I have seen the way the Cristallo reflects (or refracts?) I am wondering if I could possibly consider something other than Scavo...my first love.

I know I can swag. But, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something! To swag or not to swag...it seems so 70's to me. I wonder if anyone here has a good swag pic...

Love those lights! Wish they were in my price range too!!

Well, mine's swagged! It hangs from the very peak, where there's no room for a junction box. What's wrong with swagging? These are very pre-electric looking anyway... :)

I'll be swagging too sometime in the near future!! I just converted my DR to an office/library, so the chandelier that is centered in the room isn't going to work there anymore.

I've been trying! This is one of my favorite companies for lighting ( I think I've mentioned CXNY on Gardenweb before, too, come to think of it). I've seen these in person, both the colors and the clear glass ones and they really are gorgeous. I was seriously considering the cristallo nebulas for over my kitchen island at one point, but decided against pendants altogether because of the unique island/ceiling situation I had. I may still go back and rethink that at some point. I am still looking at something from this company for my family room or living room, as well.

Holy cow those are gorgeous. Do they ever have sales?

Alas... I considered these too... but sadly, I'm a pauper...

Did anyone see the second post from Urban Grace on these lights? It has a really cool shot looking up to the ceiling and the overlapping shadows from the lights are gorgeous. Very interesting article too...

Those are beautiful and love the project.

Those Cristallo fixtures are so beautiful, who'd even notice the swag?

Here's an idea for a "swag" solution that has worked well for me on a couple of projects. If it's possible you use more than one light from the canopy so the whole design looks more intentional. The lights don't have to be opposite each other but that would be ideal. I've also done a chandelier on a swag so that in one position it was set over a table and then when the table was moved the chandelier went to another higher position so you could walk underneath it.

Those are GAWJUS. I don't have high enough ceilings to do them justice...but I WANT them.

Alas...I must purchase a new refrigerator. No fun.
