Origin and design history

The Sputnik design traces its origins to the Space Age design movement, which emerged in the late 1950s under the influence of space exploration.

After the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 in 1957, star-shaped lighting fixtures became particularly popular. These futuristic designs grew into icons of Mid-Century Modern design.
