We’ve long admired the elegant industrial lighting designs of Brooklyn architects Workstead and have recently noticed that several other studios have been taking the same minimalist approach. Here are seven simple pendants with circular, beret-like crowns, all made of brass (plus one in copper).
Above: The Brass Pendant by Workstead features a 10-inch disk, a long brass rod, and a brass socket. A brass joint allows for 90 degrees of rotation, and the pendant arm is available in small (18 inches), medium (24 inches), and large (42 inches), and can be custom ordered at any length; $525 from Workstead. The Brass Pendant is also available from the Horne Shop.

Above: The all-brass CB0150 Pendant is designed by Danish House Doctor; $319 from Royal Design.

Above: The Grain Pendant by LA designer Brendan Ravenhill has a hand-turned brass shade (also available in other materials) that’s formed over a wooden mold. During the spinning process, the patterns of the wood grain are impressed on the shade. It’s available with a black or white cord; $400 from Brendan Ravenhill.
