The '60s and '70s carried a serious sense of swank. Interiors didn’t beg for attention, they just were, inherently, incredibly chic. Silhouettes lounged low and unbothered. Palettes smoldered. Wood was deep and moody – as were the vinyls probably spinning somewhere in the background. But the lesser-praised force holding it all together? Lighting ideas. And since design legends like Charles Sevigny definitely weren’t flipping on the ‘big light,' what exactly was their secret? Why did these interior spaces look so moody, so good?
According to designers, it's because these icons layered. With floor lamps.
