Wrought Iron Lighting
Even though wrought iron in design and architecture goes all the way back to the Roman times, this hardy metal is ever apparent in today’s style. The look may evoke thoughts of traditional design, but today’s iterations bring wrought iron lighting out of the dark age and right into contemporary interiors and exteriors.
At Lumens, our selection of wrought iron lighting pays homage to the timeless material with a modern spin. Brands like Hubbardton Forge turn to the work of modern blacksmiths to hand-forge wrought iron table lamps, wall sconces, pendant lights and more right in their Vermont facility.
Why We Love Wrought Iron Lighting
The warmth and architectural edge makes wrought iron an easy-to-love design element, but we especially love to see it paired with sweeping shapes and clean lines, for a look that’s clean, sophisticated and showcases quintessential American style. The instruments used to create wrought iron fixtures sound like they come from a history book: anvils, swage blocks, trip hammers. But these old-timey tools enable the classic techniques for crafting dramatic, timeless designs that let the wrought iron shine.
Other Considerations
Go Behind the Design of Hubbardton Forge, one of the biggest names in wrought iron lighting design. And wrought iron light fixtures can also be found in collections from Troy Lighting, Ultralights, Minka-Lavery and others.
