What Is a Sputnik Chandelier?
A sputnik chandelier is a mid-century modern lighting fixture characterized by arms radiating from a central sphere, resembling the Soviet satellite of the same name. The design directs light in multiple directions while creating a sculptural focal point. Sputnik chandeliers typically feature exposed bulbs and geometric forms that make them ideal for modern, industrial, and eclectic interiors.
