Our "Chross" Pendant was inspired by architectural cues of the past as well as the present. The design blends timeless features with clean geometric lines. While a tapered column and vertical shade supports mimic bias cut angles found throughout the overall design. Its ability to be placed in settings from rustic to contemporary truly makes this a modern farmhouse piece. If lighting was sold by the pound this heavyweight would certainly command a hefty sum. That's due to the solid hardwood, solid aluminum, and solid carbon steel components used to make this non-compromising fixture...quality is at the forefront of what we do.
