Needing, Wanting, Loving: Industrial Pendant Lights

Selecting light fixtures is one of my all-time favorite things to do for any design project, and lately I’ve been very drawn to factory-style pendants.   Although visualizing industrial lights hanging above crowded factory workers in the early 1900s isn’t ideal, these lights did ultimately stand the test of time- both in style and function.  I love to see them in unexpected areas, like kid's rooms:

And in entryways:

Of course, we have most often seen them hanging in kitchens over islands, which I've always loved:

What we don't often see is factory-style lighting in large living rooms, like Steven Gambrel did here in this funky barn he designed:

Love the look, too?
