‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever’ and that seems to be very true in the case of Tiffany lamps. Tiffany-style lamps are one of the best ways to light a room in a stylish, elegant, inspirational, vibrant and classic way.
Tiffany lamps owe their very existence to the renowned painter and Art Nouveau designer of his times, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933). Louis Tiffany was the son of the famous jeweller Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. However, Louis’ passion to create awe-inspiring decorative designs led to the creation of the ornate interior design company, Tiffany Glass House, which was later named Tiffany Studios.
Mankind has always preferred light to darkness. In their pursuit to beat darkness, they have created lamps with rocks, terracotta, metals and marble. From the primitive man who used friction to create fire and light to the contributions of Sir Humphrey Davy and Thomas Alva Edison, the evolution of lights has grown by leaps and bounds.
Lighting is an important factor in the interior design of buildings, be it restaurants, home or even offices. The right lighting creates the right experience for the end-user. Lights can be plotted on the historical timeline as contemporary or modern, retro, vintage and antique. However, the terms antique, vintage and retro are often used interchangeably.
The vintage-style bulbs are gaining momentum across the world and are making their presence felt in the home décor space too. Some out-of-the-ordinary illumination for sure happens with this vintage-style lighting.
