The Sputnik 1 was a Soviet satellite, and one of the first objects launched into space. When it launched, it captured the imagination or a generation, and the space-minded art and design of the Atomic Age picked up a new piece: the sputnik chandelier. Sunburst fixtures like this one, sputniks are noted for their brilliance and distinctive silhouette. Measuring 36'' in diameter, it's perfect for larger rooms.
