Vintage with a modern twist, the Orbit 8 Chandelier will lighten up any room in your home while adding an extra bit of character to it.

Made by Schoolhouse Electric & Supply, the chandelier features an [upside down design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-designs) rather than the traditional right side up one. After the parts of the light fixture have been completed, the Orbit 8 Chandelier is made exactly to your specifications. The light can be made with three different colored cords like red, khaki and black with either a [coated white or antique black finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-lighting-fixtures).

Ideal for those who want to avoid a cookie-cutter style for their home, the Orbit 8 Chandelier is the perfect way to brighten things up while injecting your own unique taste into your abode.
