The Best Luxury Lighting for Your Mansion

Designed to elevate the high-end finishes and furnishings of your mansion, luxury lighting completes the space by distributing light and casting shadows that frame the room. New lighting methods not only provide function by illuminating the home, they also contribute visual interest and, in cases such as the works of art below, are the focal point and the wow-factor that will leave guests breathless.

Luxury lighting designers bring an artful eye to the category by experimenting with materials and production methods to formulate the perfect piece. Elements of sculpture, motion, lightness and shadow are manipulated to transform spaces. Masterly designed and meticulously crafted fixtures are the culmination of art and design with a component of luxury that results in the awe-inspiring luxury lighting to follow.


Stefano Papi & Saviz Yaghmai Epoque Spiral Chandelier

Epoque is a light sculpture designed to study chiaroscuro and volumes. The result is a modern expression of these renaissance-era techniques in a stunning chandelier. Composed of curved, organic lines, Epoque’s frame is made of flexible and durable brass metal, suspended by nickel metal chains. Two bands of metal, a central elongated section and an external band of wide arcs, allows the light to envelop a room in reflections of soft light. Epoque has attracted attention from those in the design community with discerning tastes. Epoque is available in nickel, black nickel, bronze and gold finish. Design Stefano Papi & Saviz Yaghmai.

Elon Musk Lists More California Mansions for Combined $97.5 Million

Just two weeks after Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, seemingly listed two of his Los Angeles, CA mansions after claiming on Twitter his intentions to own no physical possessions, he has now listed five more California properties for a combined total of $97.5 million. This is in addition to the $39.5 million worth of estates he listed weeks ago.

Again, the listings appear on Zillow.com as for sale by owner. A multi-home listing includes four properties, which Musk alludes to owning for a future project, perhaps to combine the parcels to house one larger structure. The four homes at 10947 Chalon Road, 954 Somera Road, 955 Somera Road and 958 Somera Road are listed for $62.5 million. Another mansion at 891 Crystal Springs Road is listed for $35 million.

Per the listing for 10947 Chalon Road, it appears Musk purchased the property for $20 million back in 2015. As the description states, the combined properties are a “project for the big thinker” and are designed to showcase one of the best views in Los Angeles. Views include the city, ocean and beyond. Further specifications of the project and of each existing home individually will be provided to qualified buyers upon request.

The listing for 891 Crystal Springs Road states that the parcel is one of the largest on the San Francisco peninsula. With approximately 47 acres, the estate presents a rare and unique opportunity to own this amount of land. The existing estate in more than 100 years old and has a pool, hiking trails, canyons and a reservoir on the grounds. The home also boasts a pool and unobstructed Bay views.

Inside, the historic home has a ballroom, banquet dining room and a preserved but updated gourmet kitchen. A detached three-car garage, eight-car carport and a tremendous motor court all provide ample parking. The home is just eight miles to the San Francisco airport and private jet center. Historical pricing reflects Musk’s 2017 purchase of the home for $23 million.
