CALYX
Best statement lighting for design-conscious homeowners seeking adjustable, artistic kitchen illumination.
The CALYX ceiling fixture is a playful piece of functional sculpture, inspired by Lucienne Day's iconic 1951 "Calyx" fabric. Designed by Kelly Aaron, this fixture translates the fabric's optimism and energy into a three-dimensional form, ideal for illuminating dining tables, bars, or kitchen islands. All shades pivot on joints, allowing for flexible light positioning. Fabricated in brass, it is shown in Natural Brass but offers customization across 6 metal finishes or 36 enamel colors. It mounts via two drop rods and ceiling canopies.
