If lighting had a Minimalist movement, the Burnside would be the vanguard. Clean and just plain cool, this cloth-cord conversation piece was originally a no-nonsense light for small, simple spaces.

Nowadays, some of our creative customers order it in multiples to create artistic, modern-looking chandeliers. What's old is, of course, bound to someday be "new" again.

Tips: Shown here with the optional IG6083 1890 carbon-filament bulb. Your choice of black or white porcelain canopy, and maroon, black, or white cloth cord.
