Hello! It's Erika from small shop, and I'm back continuing our "Design Under the Influence" explorations into ways in which the past has influenced current trends in decor, fashion and art. This time we are taking a look at the Sputnik chandelier -- and I admit, mainly because I've been looking at them for the past month and finally got one for our bedroom! It's a classic piece with a lot of history, and adds a ton of personality to any space.

Obviously, the variations on the theme all center around the Russian satellite launched in 1957, and the space age curiosity since. You can find them from $300 to $3000 in a multitude of shapes, forms and finishes, new or old. I espeically love when it's mixed with more feminine and/or rustic spaces that really offset it and make it pop. Let's take a look at some of the more recent interiors that feature this mid-century icon:

Although I would have loved a brass number like the above, the Z Gallerie chrome version at a cool $299 is budget-friendly and fine by me!
