#tbtPrimelite | #1960 | #pullDownPendant
#tbtPrimelite: While combing through the Primelite archives, we came across a series of original black and white photographs from our 1960 catalogs. Among the photos was this brass “pull down” or “pulley” pendant. A true representative of the space-age aesthetic of the time. With a 1960s modern design, this “pull-down” fixture would be at home in any contemporary retro installation.
