Modern Pendant Lights

Modern pendant lights hang from a single cord, rod or cable to bring light down to where it is needed, using clean lines and simple forms that let the shade do the talking. They suit kitchen islands, dining tables and bedsides, and add a focal point to entryways and stairwells with high ceilings. Over a table or island, leave about 30 to 36 inches between the bottom of the fixture and the surface, and pick a diameter roughly half the width of the table, or space two or three smaller pendants evenly along an island. Browse our collection of modern pendant lights in glass, metal, wood and fabric, from mini pendants to large statement pieces, with integrated LED and bulb options in black, brass, white and more.
