Sleek and Modern - Unusual and Unique Chandelier Lighting

If you're into mid-century modern, transitional, or futuristic design, these lighting options are for you. And don't think you need to live in an ultra modern space to have one of these chandeliers in your home. Some of my favorite spaces have been old Mizner mansions with contemporary and traditional pieces mixed together... I just love to be surprised by design!!

The Philippe Malouin Dervish Ceiling Fan by Philippe Malouin

Did you pick a favorite? Mine is the Dervish fan by Philippe Malouin. He got the idea from the car wash brushes at his local automatic car wash! How cool is that? I love seeing what inspires designers, and how they reinterpret that inspiration into their creations. If you'd like to read more about this fan, check out Philippe's interview at Dornob.
