The eyes pick up on the familiar yet abstract curves of the dressy Rork Teardrop Mini Pendant from Alder & Ore. This piece does stylish modern design the minimalist way. Its low-profile canopy sets the tone by producing a shiny bold finish that’s reiterated in the seductive shade below. A fine cord suspension connects the similarly finished canopy and shade in a slender profile that works great over a bar or nightstand. The shade hangs effortlessly with sweeping curves that conceal the bulb’s bright glare. The shade funnels light through its narrow opening, giving the room an accenting down glow.

Alder & Ore features an eclectic blend of industrial and mid-century design, complete with rough-hewn metals, exposed or partially exposed lamping, and eccentric silhouettes. Each product brings a sense of rustic beauty to interior living spaces, either as a centerpiece or a functional luminaire, exuding an unmistakable warmth that illuminates as well as inspires.
