SERIES · NOSTALGIC DÉCOR · MID-CENTURY NAMED LAMPS
Seven lamps for the rooms
that earn their light slowly.
The shapes Saarinen, Eames, Knoll, and Bauer would have specified, made today with the dimming, life, and amber glow they couldn't get in 1962.
SERIES · THE SAARINEN A15 · 01 / 07
A small bulb for the rooms that don't need a big one.
A15 is a small-format bulbous A-lamp — the same A-lamp silhouette as A19, scaled down. Available in candelabra base (E12) for vanity strips and small chandeliers, or medium base (E26) for accent fixtures and bedside lamps. Named for Eero Saarinen, whose tulip-pedestal furniture taught a generation that the small object beside the chair earns its place by what it does, not by what it claims.
Frosted, clear, and silver-tip finishes. 2400K, 2700K, and 3000K CCTs across the variant set. CRI 83+ on standard SKUs, 90+ on JA8 and T20-compliant variants.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Bedside table lamps and accent sconces (E26 medium-base SKUs)
- · Vanity strips and small chandeliers requiring a candelabra base (E12 SKUs)
- · Hospitality bedside lamps · powder-room mirror frames
- · Anywhere an A-lamp is too large but the lamp still needs to be visible
SERIES · THE EAMES A19 · 02 / 07
The standard-bearer of mid-century domestic light.
The Eames A19 is the lamp Charles and Ray Eames would have used in the Case Study House — a standard A19 silhouette with a warm nostalgic finish, 2700K and 2400K CCT options, and a frosted or smoked glass that softens the filament into a warm ambient glow.
For residential living rooms, hospitality bedside tables, and any application where the lamp is the last thing you see before the lights go out.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Living-room table lamps · the one that gets switched on at 4 PM
- · Hotel guest room nightstand fixtures
- · Restaurant ambient overhead clusters · 4–8 per dining room
- · Reading lamps with TRIAC or ELV dimming · CRI 90+ for fidelity
SERIES · THE KNOLL B10 · 03 / 07
The chandelier lamp that still looks like a lamp.
B10 is the blunt-tip candelabra — the workhorse of decorative chandeliers and wall sconces. Named for Florence Knoll Bassett, whose mid-century corporate and residential interiors taught a generation that the lamp itself is part of the composition, not a hidden source.
Frosted glass for residential living rooms and dining chandeliers; clear glass for hospitality applications where the filament is the design feature.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Decorative chandeliers · 4 to 12 lamps per fixture
- · Wall sconces with exposed bases · candelabra silhouette as the design feature
- · Restaurant chandelier clusters · CRI 90+ for tablescape continuity
SERIES · THE BAUER CA10 · 04 / 07
A flame that doesn't pretend to be electricity.
For decorative chandeliers and entryway sconces where the lamp's silhouette is doing as much work as the photons it produces.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Formal entryway chandeliers · the lamp the guest sees first
- · Restaurant sconces · clear glass · CRI 92+ flame-mimic CCT
- · Ceremonial / ballroom decorative lighting · paired with B10 candelabras
SERIES · THE HEATH G16.5 · 05 / 07
The small globe for the mirror that tells the truth.
G16.5 is the small-format globe — the lamp that gets installed in vanity strips above bathroom mirrors, in salon cabinets, and in dressing-room makeup surrounds. Named for Heath Ceramics, whose mid-century ceramics taught a generation that surface and light belonged together.
CRI 90+ ensures color fidelity for the place where color decisions actually get made — the bathroom mirror at 7 AM.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Bathroom vanity strips · 5–8 lamps per fixture
- · Salon cabinet illumination · cosmetic-counter applications
- · Hospitality dressing-room makeup mirrors
SERIES · THE EICHLER G25 · 06 / 07
The pendant lamp for the suburb that wanted to be modern.
G25 is the medium globe — the larger sibling of the G16.5. Named for Joseph Eichler, who built mid-century modern homes by the thousand and needed pendant lamps that wouldn't betray the architecture. Larger envelope, slightly broader spread, same warm amber glow.
For decorative pendants over breakfast bars, kitchen islands, and any place a single statement lamp does the visual work of three.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Decorative pendants over kitchen islands and breakfast bars
- · Restaurant bar overheads · single-lamp focal points
- · Mid-century-modern residential vanity surrounds (paired with G16.5)
SERIES · THE MARSHALL S14 · 07 / 07
The lamp that hangs from a string and still has a name.
S14 is the commercial-grade string-light lamp — outdoor patio strands, market lighting, restaurant rooftop arrays. The Marshall name marks this as the festoon-grade installation lamp built for repeat-season service, not the consumer SKU at the home center. Damp-rated socket. Shatter-resistant glass envelope. 25,000-hour rated.
For the bar that opens its patio in May and closes it in October. The hospitality property running four parallel strands above an outdoor dining deck.
WHERE IT BELONGS
- · Restaurant patio string installations
- · Hospitality rooftop bars · 100+ lamps per array
- · Wedding / event decorative outdoor strands · damp-rated
THE NAMING STORY · MID-CENTURY DESIGN COMPANIONS
Seven names. Seven shapes. One philosophy: a lamp earns its place at the table.
Each lamp in the Nostalgic Décor series is named for a mid-century designer or builder whose work demanded a particular kind of light — soft, warm, imperfect-on-purpose.
RESIDENTIAL FIT
Living rooms, bedside, dining nooks, vanity strips, hallway sconces. The lamps that get switched on for the second half of the day and stay on until bedtime.
HOSPITALITY FIT
Boutique hotel guest rooms, restaurant ambient overheads, lobby chandeliers, bar pendants. Used at scale (200–2000 lamps per property) where binning and CRI consistency become the spec writer's job.
SPECIFICATION FIT
A&D specs that call out lamp series rather than generic "warm white E26." The naming gives the designer a SKU to spec; we supply matching binning, dimming, and warranty across the order.
