I'm completely obsessed with Sputniks! Retro cool and forward thinking all at once...like any great outer space design should be. These fabulous fixtures seem to elevate every decor style into the next stratosphere. I need to figure out where to incorporate one of these in my home.

love the retro vibe, absolutely agree, retro and gold, great combination no matter what
They are beautiful and the one above the dining table is my favourite:)
Happy Tuesday, my dear
Girl, I'm right there with ya! 1st Dibs has a couple of smokin' hot sputnik chandy's that I would love to get my hands on! We can dream, right?

It would have to be just the right room for me to have one, but I do love your inspiration!
Love the 3 of them together in the 6th picture :)
these fixture are so whimsical and they feel a space very nicely. I am not into self promoting but you might like the Mobile chandelier by Jose Esteves. it was in the November issue of Elle Decors. Or you can see it at:

I am loving the orange and pink room...I have been drawn to them too. Have you seen the Lindsey Adelman do it yourself fixture...on my "to do someday" list!
Love the second last one with the brown walls, and of course the one on your header
You need one of these for sure! I love the triple!!!
i didn't even know that that's what they were called - but i love that design!! these look amazing!
They are super funky, Sue! Well, when you figure out how to incorporate one, take pictures! XX!
lovin it!
Lilac and Grey
Out of this world!
xxoo
These are so neat! Love the top bedroom!
I just love that living room so much w/ the cool lighting and all of those books. Seems like a perfect spot to spend a weekend. xo
yup all me - it's how i roll - i wanna add one SOMEWHERE - but i have NO CLUE where in the world i can - i think i'll wait a lil - then replace my diningroom chandaier with one!
I like how the fixture is incorporated into a more traditional room in the first image. It's definitely more my taste!
Love the dash of whimsy they add to any room...so fun!!
I don't think there is one that is short is fantastic. It's drama and whimsy all in one package!
Love, love, love these!
When I was initially doing up Villa Nero, these were high on my list.
Then somehow, I didn't get around to getting one, and now I think back on them fondly -- hope you're planning on popping one up somewhere at your place.
Hello kid room chic ;)

LOVE all these - they add so much fun and sparkle to a space. I was in Mason the other day and they had a fabulous selection.
Me tooooo I just got one for Pete's man room/our office!
It definitely brightens up a room!
I love them too- I want to try the Lindsay Adelman DIY sputnik like light- looks alot like the first one but more random in shape. I love how Sputniks are gold and glamorous but still a bit rough- not too pretty. Definitely on my wish list.
Great eye! My husband the astronomy major would love this!
Love these happy little sparkly lights! I always think of Kelly Wearstler when I see one....now i'll think of YOU!

These chandeliers go ANYWHERE, and that is difficult to find in a chandelier. Gorgeous images. Thanks for the inspiration.

So fun and mod! Just placed my first Zhush order today - very excited. Check out my hostess gift guide tomorrow which features one of your items. Hope all is well!
I totally agree with you! They are very charming and really add style to any room!
They are so fun! I completely agree. We met at the PPT/Eddie Ross event a couple weeks ago. Just wanted to stop by and say hello!
Those are lovely. I just watched an episode of "Design on a Dime" and they made sputniks from tinker toys and mirrors...
I wish my ceilings werent so low so I could out one of these babies in my home
Starlight starbright...i need a sputnik tonight ;)! I am always looking for these and other cool light fixtures on CL, but they rarely appear :(.
One of my all time favorites! My Mom has one in her house (that was once my grandmother's house) - I've loved it since I was a kid!
I love them!! I wish I could get one for my future apartment!!! =)

Oh yes these are all so cool! They totally make each room!
Luvs!
I adore this whole "Can't Get Enough" riff you've been doing! I might be obsessed with it actually. The sputniks post is brilliant. So yesterday, so now. The Jan-Feb New England Home Connecticut has a to-die-for dining room with a vertical sputnik chandelier (and fushia Kravat-covered chairs) that you'll love!
Haha, these are adorable -- I love it.

Love all of these and they remind me of something I saw last weekend at Mason in New Canaan. I read about the shop on your blog. When I lived there it was a pasta shop--I was thrilled to see this cool store in person.
Oh yes, these are gorgeous! So happy to have found your blog and thank you so much for your lovely comment on mine! I'm your newest follower :) Rachel xx
the sputniks are totally rad--but that distressed wooden ceiling in the first picture had me at hello! SO beautiful!
I am with you. I need a place in my home for one of these beauties as well.

These are so cool! I'd love to see one hanging from my ceiling too:-)
Love them and any lighting fixture that resembles them (like in my kitchen.) What about one in your office or in your ski home for a nice juxaposition!
I agree - they're so much fun! of course the one in your header is the best! :)
I just found your blog and love it! And, I'm your newest follower! These lights are amazing! You can't go wrong with any of them.
Love them! I wanted to put one in my sons bedroom but my husband thought I was nuts --
I bet you figured this one out really fast, just flip that switch!
Beam us up and show us your "sputnik!"

You picked some terrific fixtures; love the retro feel.
Best,

I love them to but I confess that I rarely think to use them. Inspiring images here!!
Well how fun are these?! Great finds!
Hope you are having a great week:)
That is a happy looking light! I can see why you like them.
My favorite is the one in your header!! :) I love this look, retro, whimsical, and classic all wrapped up in one light fixture!!!

I had no idea that's what they were called!? I love them and love their name even more! Great pics.

ever since i saw a pic of one in the kate spade madison ave store in lonny, i have been DYING for one.
Yep, hits the center of my universe also!
