Sputnik Starburst Chandelier | Mid-Century Modern Multicolor Cone Pendant Light

Illuminate Your Space with Iconic Mid-Century Modern Design

Inspired by the golden age of atomic design, the Sputnik Starburst Chandelier captures the essence of 1960s optimism through its dynamic burst silhouette and vibrant constellation of colorful cone shades.
