While brass has been trending in interior design, it's hardly the only metal in town. Silver, gold, bronze, and copper tones each have charms all their own.

An industrial take on an overhead chandelier, the three-arm chandelier from Brooklyn’s Workstead can be reconfigured into a variety of shapes.

The Conic Section LED Pendant Light from Castor is light that is inspired by mathematics. A conic section is a curve that is obtained at the intersection of a cone and a plane, which is reflected in the design of the pendant light. The Conic Section Pendant is available in four different iterations—a hyperbola, ellipse, parabola, and circle—which are created by cutting the cone at different angles. The cages of each pendant are plated in black chrome, which helps to reflect the light emitted from the interior LED lamp. Adjusting the direction of light is easy, as the overlaying shields can be moved.
