Modern America Lighting

Styles: Art Deco, Streamline Porcelain, Streamline, Atomic Age

Our Modern America lighting reflects the stylistic changes from 1925 to 1960 that yielded Streamline, Art Deco, and Atomic Age styles - all "children" of the influential Paris Exposition of 1925.

Glass, porcelain, and aluminum were shaped into bold, organic forms. Gone was ornament, and anything else that didn't serve the design.

Inspired by skyscrapers, airplanes, and other emblems of modern industry, le style moderne influenced U.S. trends like Streamline Moderne, Machine Age, and Mid-Century Modern.

You'll see these sleek aesthetics in fixtures like the Enterprise, Skyport, Jantzen, and Hewitt.
