Thomas O'Brien: American Modern

{This inspiring nook in O’Brien’s Manhattan apartment features a Terri Cube Lamp in Alabaster.}

Circa Lighting designer, Thomas O’Brien recently released his first book, American Modern and it is wonderful. It chronicles the evolution of modern American design and the way that one can infuse a modern touch into even the most classic, traditional setting. The book is divided into six sections ranging from Traditional Modern to Urban Modern to Vintage Modern. You may be thinking that these titles sound like oxymoron, but that is where O’Brien manages to surprise the reader.

It’s no secret that kitchens benefit as much from beautiful lighting as any other room. More and more, kitchens are becoming gathering places for family and friends and often serve as the nerve center of one’s home. Shouldn’t the room in which you charge your batteries with your morning coffee, recount the day’s events with your children, and lovingly prepare meals for your family feature beautiful lighting? Many of the nation’s top designers turn to Circa Lighting when designing kitchens.

Enduring Motifs

Quatrefoil Iron Two Light Sconce      Basil Flush Mount
        by Suzanne Kasler by Alexa Hampton

Circa Lighting’s line is filled with classic design elements to withstand the test of time. From urns to balustrade shapes to classic Paris Flea Market chandeliers, the gang’s all here! While I adore many of these classic shapes and elements, I also find it fun and interesting to incorporate patterns into one’s designs. Greek Key and Quatrefoil motifs are enduring and alluring patterns, both of which are available in several designs from Circa. While Greek Key and Quatrefoil are most certainly classic motifs, they add a welcomed sense of whimsy to any room.
