This was great. Now, I need a video on lighting "rules." For example, how tall/wide should a table lamp be and why. I would venture to guess that a LOT of us probably buy lamps too small just like rugs. :)
I don't think there is a rule about the size of the lamp but what's important is the size of the light. You don't want your light sources to create hotspots and instead they should blend with each other.
Only rule I know for lamps is that it doesn’t matter how aesthetically pleasing it is, never place it where someone (particularly clutzes like me lol) can bump into or trip over 😊
Always to scale with the room and/or the table it will be at/on and when seating down the light emitting shouldn't be right in front of your eyes. Better higher than lower than your eyesight on most cases. There are tons of info online.
I've seen the dupes, I've seen the recent designer styling, I had NO idea the history behind these lamps. This is such a cool educational background episode!
I've said it before but I really enjoy your videos not only for the content and humour but also for the structure, the time stamps, the accurate and concise naming, the links down below, and the perfectly timed "see the video up for more information". You got it!
I keep spotting the classic bankers lamp (task light) in movies, magazines, etc. and it feels quite timeless too. Loved this video! Thanks for introducing us to the original designers.
Yes, yes, yes. There were a lot of midcentury modern pieces featured in this video (excellent lighting fixtures, to be sure, but not a lot for other design styles) and this is a perfect example of a light that works just as well in an industrial-modern space (depending on the variation) as in a traditional one. Definitely not a light that ever completely goes out of style.
This was super interesting, Nick. Next time can you do a lighting video that relates lamps to different styles? Traditional, Boho, etc. My "style" (or lack thereof) is all over the place, and my lamps are no different. It would be nice to figure out a way to tie some of this stuff together.
I still love those colorful Tiffany lampshade pendant lights that come down from the ceiling on a brass chain…like late 70s-early 80s 🙈 It just says “home” to me!
I have similar things. Two Victorian art deco style with the cloth lampshades (fringe and all). I was getting some renovations done and a ceiling fan put in, and someone asked me what the hook in the corner of the ceiling was for, and it's for the light. The Tiffany lamp I have is a floor lamp and not as colourful as some of the ones I've seen. It goes nice with the decor. Although decor and Tiffany lamps makes me think of The Old Spaghetti Factory, a chain of restaurants largely in Western Canada, that has the most unique theming featuring plenty of neat lamps and train motifs.
As a Dane I have several possible additions: AJ by Arne Jacobsen Radiohus Pendel by Vilhelm Lauritzen Globe by Verner Panton Flowerpot by Verner Panton Værkstedspendel by Louis Poulsen Kinapendlen by Bent Karlby Søværnspendlen/Doo-Wop by Louis Poulsen Orient by Jo Hammerborg (unfortunately the only woman on my list) Enjoy 😊
Yes! Love all these lamps. Additional suggestion: the Lento desk lamp, also by Jo Hammerborg - who was a man btw ;) (Jo stands for Johannes). I was watching a Korean drama the other day called Law School, and all the desks had one, it made me so happy hehe.
@@amsteensberg1653 Love all of these too! They're not danish though apart from the Cirque, but timeless classics for sure! Especially the Parentesi and Akari lamps
Love, love, love this video. Nick this is one of your best videos ever. I never tire of you talking about timeless and classic design pieces, their history, their designers and what inspired them. You could do one on chairs and coffee tables as well. You do all the research, collate the photographs and present the UA-cam and I just have to sit back and absorb it all. Thank you.
Speaking of gorgeous lighting... i am drooling over your under cabinet kitchen lighting in the background! The warmth of the light with that beautiful wood 👌
*History Lighting Lesson* . Great video Nick! Nerdy me enjoys learning the history behind design elements. Entertaining and enlightening, keep 'em coming.
Nick, you are ADORABLE! Your videos are both clearly presented and delivered with enthusiasm. I watch them all the time, even though I’m 70 years old and have plenty of what I need and what I want. You were just charming in this video. When you began to talk about women, you were blushing! Too, too ,TOO precious.
Literally didn’t even finish the whole video and already purchase a Sputnik chandelier for the living room! Thanks! This gave me a really good idea for my space
On Pinterest, I keep on binging pages after pages of 1920 Art Deco designer pieces including lighting fixtures. A lot of them haven't aged one bit and are looking wonderful...
Walking around Homegoods one day I spotted what I now know is the Atollo lamp. I don’t know a thing about design but that lamp caught my eye and I kept going back to it. It had a tiny dent and I got it for $60. I love that it’s considered a classic, and will never go out of style.
i own a 1950's ranch and when we went chandelier shopping i described what i wanted as "we are going to the moon someday" lamp... landed on a sputnik knockoff. everyday that light makes me smile (actually my whole living/dining room does) it sets a fun tone for the room and really brings home the midmod feel.
Nice video Nick! I have lived with every kind of lighting over the years including all that you mentioned (grew up with the Nelson Lamp over the dining table) and as much as I love the sculptural look of these lights, I really prefer Art deco lighting with shades rather than the open bulb look of so many contemporary lamps and lighting fixtures. the glare from even glass shades eventually bugs me. Just my opinion...
The Sputnik has always been my favorite. I have 2 small dupes in my kitchen, but I'd love to have a real one! I plan to replace my dining room chandelier with a big Sputnik one. Mid-century modern is my favorite design. I love that whole time in history!
Love this video! Lighting is my favorite part of design and in my opinion it is the most important part. I would love to see more videos with a focus on lighting solutions or creative uses of light!
I'm not interested in modern these days, but I really appreciated the historical information. I do have a 'work lamp'. That Turner lamp looks more 70s to me, but there was a Deco revival during that period, so that is definitely the vibe.
Would love a video about the different ways to utilize staircase space. I feel like there are so many different types of things I could do but I can't ever land on what seems right. Thanks!
Great video! Just one thing, the first table lamp you're showing as an example of designs inspired by the PH5 lamp, isn't inspired by it, it's actually another PH lamp from the same designer, only an earlier model from the 20's ;) (PH5 was designed in the 50's). Also the lamp on the left at 14:00 is from 1971 (Panthella lamp by Verner Panton), so it's 6 years older than the Atollo lamp and not inspired by it either ;)
I cant tell you how helpful this and the timeless chair video is for me during my home renovations!!!! Thanks nick!!!! It really really sets a great tone in my new home and I love looking at them 🤩
Soooo interesting! Please do more of these (maybe one about chairs?) it was great to learn more about the creators and times when the pieces were created.
As a big fan of classic light fixtures I appreciate this video! A few months ago I picked up one of those beautiful Taschen books (you know, a lot of breadth with little depth) on classic lamps called, simply, "1000 Lights." One of the features was the Mariano Fortuny floor lamp, which shows up every once in a while. Never really thought about its origin, since it seemed to be an invention of a photographer because of its strong resemblance to a "softbox" diffuse light due to its big reflector and tripod legs. But I was kind of shocked to learn it was designed over 110 years ago. Far, far older than I had assumed yet it looks completely contemporary.
Great information! Wow! Never thought of lighting as timeless but you are absolutely right. That Turner pendant looks like a piece of jewelry in a room🥰
I have a seating area planned in my bedroom in my new house I'm having built and I've had planned to get an arco floor lamp that's going to be cornered and is intended to have the shade fall just above the coffee table next to an armchair. I've been playing with that configuration in a 3D modeling app (Live Home 3D if anyone is wondering) and it looks so cool and it shouldn't be in the way like it can be sometimes
Designed by Richard Sapper for Artemide, Tizio Micro is an aluminum table or bedside table lamp with adjustable head and arms balanced by counterweights. I just love the balance and have never found a better task light.
Hi Nick. I watched this video about a week ago. It had information in it I have never noticed nor thought about. And then I watched other design you tubers and saw the different lamps that you had mentioned. Never would have spotted them. And in zoom calls I see lamps in the background. I’m so much more observant now and and beginning to have opinions about what I might want. This is BIG!
I LOVED this! I know nothing about interior design history tbh, so this was a real treat. It's like the interior design version of that scene in The Devil Wears Prada, where Miranda schools us on how much our fashion choices are influenced by this massive industry. Please do more videos like this.♥
Mid century modern is my favorite design style and I love the Sputnik lamp. I'm hoping to thrift an original. I know it's out there somewhere waiting for me. Love your channel.
I have a PH5 I bought in a vintage store in Copenhagen in the early 00's. I did a semester abroad there in the early 90's. Used it in my dining area in a townhouse, then swagged in a large window bay in an apartment, now I'm using it in a foyer area of my 70's condo.
We love watching your channel. Just moved into a new home after a year long build and you always give my wife inspiration. Thanks for the consistent excellence!
Poul Henningsen made a lot of cool designs. the ph 5 has siblings. my favorite is the ph 3-3,5 in original colours. I have grown up with ph 5 as it was one design investment they made as a new couple. it gives a wonderfull light. quite good pronounciation, I am danish.
Yes! Thank you for this! We moved into a mid century modern home a year and a half ago that has needed some serious updates; one of them being lighting! We are trying to respect the home design but just bringing it more “up to date”. I love more of this!
We have the last saucer lamp you showed-- the crisscross I think it's called. We love it so much that we've moved it with us 3 times since we bought it in 2005. It now lives above our dining room table. It creates a nice diffuse, flattering light for dinner parties.
Thank you for this video 🙏 Shopping for kitchen pendant lights - overwhelmed!!! Looking for in trend/classic ones. Never knew history of these fixtures. NEW SUBSCRIBER. Sooo interesting!!!
I know I'm a little late to the release date of this video, but it was so helpful. As I change my lighting in my new house one boob light at a time, I've been struggling to figure out what lighting I even like, so this was a great way to showcase a diverse selection that can be a great return on investment.
Thank you (AGAIN!). I need a bigger house, or another house or two to play with. I love the numerous dimensions available for the saucer pendant (50” diameter!)
Love this video topic! Please more videos related to light fixtures!! Perhaps video on pendants and then lights that cast interesting shadows on wall/ceiling.
I always dreamed of building my own house. I'm not anywhere near fulfilling this dream but oh God I'm going to have the sputnik lamp over my dining table for sure😂
I recently bought what you call the Atollo lamp, and what is commonly known as the mushroom lamp. I bought it in brass from Crate & Barrel. It goes in the corner of my new gorgeous buffet from Article, and looks stunning.
We did the renovations for the lobby at my job (a condo building) almost a year ago, and I like how the designer used a variation of the Sputnik design when he changed the light fixtures in the ceiling. The Sputnik aspect was hidden away in like a starburst, and it was one of my fave aspects about the overall renovation design.
Hey Nick, 2:36 is also from Poul Henningsen and is called PH 3/2 and 2/1. he also made a floor lamp that looks like a overgrown PH3/2 lamp. the table lamps is expensive and im most danish homes.
I would love to see you discuss ideas of how to update your home, but stay true to the style of the house. We are updating a '50 era cape cod and I want to update it with current trends that will still be faithful to the cape cod style.
The lamp I loved as I lived thru the actual mid century modern era had a semi-sphere metal shade and just below the shade was an egg shaped metal piece that held all the cord covered wiring that you could pull down or back up like a window shade so you could control how the light affected the are. Pull down to do homework at the table, back up for more diffuse lighting for a dinner party. I saw fixture in a lighting store recently that used the idea of adjustable height but in a very modern piece that was an extraordinarily over the top price.
Realistic, educational, and interesting- but the reason I like your channel best is your wonderful sense of humor. I know you don't know me, but I'm pretty sure we could be best friends.
Makes me very proud to be Danish that the PH5 got the top spot :D I would like to submit as other timeless lamps the PH Artichoke pendant lamp (my dream lamp) and the Artemide Tolomeo series (especially the Mega)
This was great. Now, I need a video on lighting "rules." For example, how tall/wide should a table lamp be and why. I would venture to guess that a LOT of us probably buy lamps too small just like rugs. :)

There are tons of info online.
There's also a calculation for how big a chandelier "should" be in a room.
@@lunar686 And I will admit that I have broken many a lamp because I tripped over a lamp cord and went hurtling toward the floor.
I've seen the dupes, I've seen the recent designer styling, I had NO idea the history behind these lamps. This is such a cool educational background episode!

@@Nick_Lewis Yes please! I don’t own a single lamp. Floor or table top because I just don’t know what to do…
My life was seriously made when Nick said: "...whatever" *snicker* when talking about the female form. 🤣
Fabulous video as also Sir! 🙌
I still love those colorful Tiffany lampshade pendant lights that come down from the ceiling on a brass chain…like late 70s-early 80s 🙈 It just says “home” to me!
Me too!!!
They originated in the first decade of the 1900's. I remember the revival in the 80's too.
very homey look!

Same here, nothing beats art deco and Bauhaus style lamps.

So glad you started with PH 5. Absolutely iconic. It has inspired generations of people to look at lighting as more than a light bulb!
i own a 1950's ranch and when we went chandelier shopping i described what i wanted as "we are going to the moon someday" lamp... landed on a sputnik knockoff. everyday that light makes me smile (actually my whole living/dining room does) it sets a fun tone for the room and really brings home the midmod feel.

It's like we had a telepathy, just thinking about lighting and your notification comes, love it, good video, informative 👍👍👍👍
The bubble lighting is beautiful! Reminds me of gumnuts on one of our gorgeous Australian Eucalyptus trees
Some great picks! I missed the Wagenfeld lamp he designed at Bauhaus, definitely a beautiful classic piece that is at home in a lot of spaces!
Big fan of the arc floor lamps, bubble saucer pendant lights, sputnik lights. Liked them so much had to get them for my contemporary style home.

Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful lights! Feeling so inspired! 👌🏼
I manifested this video Nick...Finally I know the name of the lamp that has been catching my eye since few months now - Atollo lamp!!!
I loved all the history and background on the lamps, Nick! Thank you so much!
Poul Henningsen made a lot of cool designs. the ph 5 has siblings. my favorite is the ph 3-3,5 in original colours. I have grown up with ph 5 as it was one design investment they made as a new couple. it gives a wonderfull light. quite good pronounciation, I am danish.
the atollo lamp looks artistic. very unique style
Yes! Thank you for this! We moved into a mid century modern home a year and a half ago that has needed some serious updates; one of them being lighting! We are trying to respect the home design but just bringing it more “up to date”. I love more of this!
My favourite is the Three Arm Floor Lamp, but as a ceiling light. Very close second is the Sputnik. Great video.
I feel like the ceiling and wall versions are more popular that the floor one, and look nicer too
....If I didn't learn so much.... ...I'd watch for the humor alone.!!! Love ya Nick,.! jo
Love, love, LOVE the history behind the design. More, please.
So I ended up buying a bed like you have in your guestroom the one that lifts up with storage underneath I love it.
We have the last saucer lamp you showed-- the crisscross I think it's called. We love it so much that we've moved it with us 3 times since we bought it in 2005. It now lives above our dining room table. It creates a nice diffuse, flattering light for dinner parties.
Wow Nick, I loved that you share the designer of each piece Im going to buy a sputnick now I know the name thank you exellent video.👏👏👏❤
If the lamp named after Tina Turner has movement, then it makes total sense! Great video, totally enjoyed
I'd love a video on different lighting styles to ensure cohesion with the general style of the space! Thanks for the fantastic content :))
I really liked this video. I enjoyed learning more about the background behind a whole bunch of lights I’ve seen (mostly reproductions). Very cool.
This made me feel good, we have a couple 'inspired' pieces! Honestly, I waited for the Tiffany 🙂.
Great video! Very educational! I had no idea about the history behind these lamps! I learn so much from your videos! Thanks!

Btw, I have original desk lamp, passed by my father's friend who is also architect like me.
The little green task lamp!
Hey Nick, 2:36 is also from Poul Henningsen and is called PH 3/2 and 2/1. he also made a floor lamp that looks like a overgrown PH3/2 lamp. the table lamps is expensive and im most danish homes.

I'm a big fan of the space age lamps. The weird organic yet futuristic shapes and the bright colours
I wanted something unique so I've recently purchased Tizio as my task lamp. It's the only designer piece I have, and I love it!
It's such a great lamp!
Realistic, educational, and interesting- but the reason I like your channel best is your wonderful sense of humor. I know you don't know me, but I'm pretty sure we could be best friends.
Perfect timing! Thank you 😆
Makes me very proud to be Danish that the PH5 got the top spot :D I would like to submit as other timeless lamps the PH Artichoke pendant lamp (my dream lamp) and the Artemide Tolomeo series (especially the Mega)
