It has the ability to draw attention to artwork, enhance a home’s architectural features, and highlight beautiful design and detail. At Laurent Lighting, you’ll find the latest and most unique light fixtures for your home.

Slide through Nancy’s picks:
1. Linear Pendant
Made of authentic slate, this pendant has an edgy, industrial feel to it. It is perfect for a spa environment, rustic mountain atmosphere, or a dramatic setting. It is universal in style and will bring a modern edge to any home.
2. Linear Pendant
Simple and elegant, this beauty with integrated LED emulates a timeless piece of jewelry. It would add glamorous sophistication to a dining room or kitchen, and look beautiful in hospitality or retail spaces.
3. Bamboo Pendant
To create an organic atmosphere, install this piece of art. The pendant is made from bamboo and has a sculpture-like quality to it, with the hand-carved chain. This works beautifully in a main entry, spa setting, as bedside lighting, or it can create a chic lobby using multiple pendants at different heights.
4. Enamel Pendant
Since color and enamel mixed with metal are on trend, this pendant offered in different tones is a fabulous find. The balance between a remarkably simple pendant and layering multiple sizes and colors creates movement and depth in a space. Have fun with the different designs you can put together using these delicate light fixtures.
5. Rattan Lattice Pendant
Originally popular in furniture, the use of caning has become very on trend in the lighting industry as well. Also known as rattan lattice, the woven material is airy, natural, and stylish. This gorgeous pendant is woven into a cube shape with a bronze frame, allowing light to glow through. This creates a warmth and softness, perfect for a coastal environment.
6. Custom-Colored Chandelier
With a fun coral aesthetic, this chandelier marries coastal and whimsical sensibilities. Customize your piece, painting it any Benjamin Moore color. Make it black for a dramatic statement or bright yellow for a cheerful pop of color. This unique capability will give your home a one-of-a-kind feel.
7. Chandelier
Mix it up. This chandelier plays with different colors and finishes, with metals and crystals blending to create an elegant yet mysterious aesthetic. The balance of industrial and traditional elegance makes this chandelier ideal for a sophisticated setting. Try it in a dining room or even in an outdoor space, as this fixture has the ability to be in a damp location.
8. Alabaster Pendant
Now is “The Age of Alabaster.” Through the combination of metal and stone, simple elegance is born with a modern and versatile feel. The soft, integrated LED lighting with the natural stone creates a beautiful ambiance.
9. LED Lucite Pendant
This clean, lucite pendant exudes delicate sophistication. Simplistic in style, it’s a modern take on a botanical feel. Position them over bedroom nightstands for an ethereal yet sleek effect.
10. Pendant
Urban meets sputnik in this light fixture. Ideal for an edgy focal point, it’s made of Simon Pearce hand-blown glass globes, and therefore no two globes are the same. Artisanal and stylish, this piece can elevate the rustic or industrial space you’re envisioning.
11. Sconce
This sconce combines wood with metal and has an Art Deco feel in shape. Consider incorporating it into bathrooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, closets, or hallways for a bold statement that is anything but mundane.
12. Pendant
Natural parchment texture contrasts against the metal for a play on strong and delicate. This airy and romantic pendant would work well in a bedroom, entry, or a living room. It makes a captivating impact, yet remains elegant and subtle.
13. Pendant
Texture, texture, texture. This light fixture is made from exotic salwag palm-seeds, which are then dyed a rich indigo color. The versatile yet vibrant hue allows for a wide range of styles in any setting or location.
14. Pendant
This boulder-like pendant can infuse an earthy aesthetic into your space. Its shape and texture bring a natural element to any room. Use it to incorporate soft lighting in settings where you want an intimate or calming atmosphere.
15. Pendant
Simple yet artistic, this light fixture can work equally well in a minimalist setting or a playful environment. Its shape and slender design creates a futuristic feel. When using the two size options together in a large space, it makes a dramatic and theatrical impact.
Curated by Nancy Dichiora as the most innovative new light fixtures of this year, these 15 pieces demonstrate a cutting-edge new dimension of the lighting industry.
