There is a moment just before the sun sets in winter when the world outside turns a cool, quiet blue. It’s in that specific moment that we reach for the switch on the wall. That click-and the subsequent wash of warm light, is more than just visibility. It’s a feeling. It’s the signal that the day is done, and it’s time to gather.
At Pinlighting, we’ve always believed that a chandelier isn’t just an object you hang from the ceiling; it’s the heartbeat of the room. Today, we want to pull back the curtain and take you into the studio to introduce you to the soul of our favorite duo: The Lenox Series.
The Inspiration: Where Rhythm Meets Structure
When our designers sketched the Lenox series, they didn't reference other lighting fixtures. They drew inspiration from architecture and jazz music.
"We wanted to capture that elusive balance found in the "Golden Age" of American design-where structural integrity didn't compromise beauty. The goal was to create something that felt substantial (honoring the industrial roots of quality manufacturing) yet weightless (allowing the light to breathe)."
The Lenox isn't about hiding the framework; it’s about celebrating the lines. It’s a dialogue between the strong metal skeleton and the soft, ethereal glow of the illumination.
The Process: Hands Over Machines
In an era of fast furniture and mass production, the Lenox series is our love letter to slow manufacturing.
If you were to walk through our workshop, you wouldn't hear the deafening roar of automated assembly lines. You would hear the sound of polishing wheels and the quiet focus of assembly.
The Brasswork: The framework of every Lenox fixture starts as raw material. It is bent, welded, and finished by hand. This ensures that the joints are seamless and the finish, whether it’s a deep, moody red or a bright silver-has that rich depth that only hand-made can achieve.
The Glass: We believe that glass should scatter light, not just block it. The white glass shades used in the Lenox series of lamps are carefully selected to soften the harsh light of the bulb compared to clear glass, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes skin tones appear more flattering and food on the table look more delicious.
It takes longer to build them this way. But when you see the way the light catches the edge of the frame, you understand why we do it.
Meet the Collection
1. The Lenox Clarke Chandelier: The Conversation Starter
The Lenox Clarke is where the drama happens. Designed with a radial silhouette, it was built to anchor a room.
We imagine the Clarke hanging in a high-ceilinged living room or a grand entryway. It has a gravitational pull, its circular arrangement draws the eye inward, creating a natural focal point. It’s bold, geometric, and unapologetically modern, yet it carries a classic weight that makes it feel like it’s always belonged there.
Best for: Living rooms, foyers, or round dining tables where you want to make a statement.
2. The Lenox Linear Chandelier: The Gathering Place
If the Clarke is the drama, the Lenox Linear is the embrace.
We designed the Linear specifically for the way families live today. We spend our lives around kitchen islands and long dining tables, doing homework, chopping vegetables, pouring wine, and hosting holiday feasts. The Linear stretches that beautiful, warm light across the entire length of the surface. It ensures that no one at the table is left in the dark. It brings a sense of order and sophisticated symmetry to the most chaotic (and happy) rooms in the house.
Best for: Kitchen islands, rectangular dining tables, and open-concept spaces.
Lighting is a Memory Maker
We talk a lot about lumens and watts in this industry, but at Pinlighting, our real metric is warmth. We build lights like the Lenox series because we know what happens beneath them. We know that this is where you’ll open Christmas presents.🎁 This is where you’ll have that third cup of coffee with an old friend. This is where your life happens. We are honored to be a small part of your home’s story.
