In the 1960s, when details on the space race headlined the cover of every magazine and the Russian Sputnik satellite inspired a whole movement in futuristic home decor, rod and ball construction really had a moment. They revived the best of that construction and plated this standard in a modern brass finish so that it simultaneously harkens to the past and beckons to the future. Situated atop a clear base, the combination of metal and crystal paired with a cotton drum shade make for a versatile piece that will last for decades to come.
