Remains Lighting Company’s Holophane lighting collection features rare vintage and select made-to-order designs, centered around iconic prismatic glass pendant lights. Originally designed for early industrial and utilitarian environments in the 20th century, these fixtures are prized for their exceptional light diffusion, structural clarity, and architectural presence.
Ideal for kitchens, dining areas, billiard rooms, entryways, and stairwells, Holophane ceiling lights offer both functional illumination and sculptural character.
Vintage Designs & Contemporary Interpretations
This collection includes a curated selection of antique and vintage Holophane lighting, which is continually evolving as new pieces are sourced and restored. As a result, available inventory changes frequently, offering a rotating selection of one-of-a-kind prismatic pendants spanning the early, mid, and late 20th century.
Featured makers include Holophane and Crouse-Hinds, both known for their early contributions to industrial lighting design.
Alongside these vintage pieces, Remains Lighting Company’s made-to-order Oskar Pendants offer a contemporary interpretation of holophane lighting, available in multiple sizes and refined finishes to suit modern interiors.
Prismatic Forms & Industrial Materials
Holophane lighting is defined by its distinctive prismatic glass forms, originally engineered to maximize light distribution in industrial environments. This ever-evolving collection features a wide range of pendant silhouettes, including: bullet-shaped, teardrops, onion-shaped and rounded globes, sailor hat and wide-lipped styles, pyramidal and geometric forms, and lanterns.
These sculptural glass forms are often paired with nickel, aluminum, or other metal fittings. The combinations create fixtures that are both durable and visually refined, with an emphasis on clarity, diffusion, and long-lasting performance.
Restoration & Made-to-Order Craftsmanship
Vintage Holophane pendants are carefully restored, rewired, and adapted for modern electrical standards, while maintaining their original industrial character. Made-to-order Oskar Pendants are fabricated in our UL-certified Brooklyn workshop and can be customized in finish, height, and lamping.
