Modern America Lighting

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

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

Glass, porcelain, and aluminum were shaped into bold, organic forms. Ornament, and anything that didn't serve the design, simply wasn't used.

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.
