James Bond is one of the most well-known and classy characters of all time. With 24 movies to its name and embodied by some of the most iconic actors in the history of Hollywood, the MI-6 agent is one of the most recognizable and quotable characters ever.
\nSean Connery is arguably the most iconic actor to ever embody His Royal Highness\u2019 secret agent, he\u2019s also the first. Connery and Bond embody luxury and lavishness and their 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s blockbuster movies fit like a glove with some of DelightFULL<\/a>\u2018s most emblematic mid-century modern products.<\/p>\n

1. 007 James Bond \u2013 Dr. No: Miles Floor Lamp<\/h3>\n

\"Mid-century<\/a>
\nDr. No is James Bond\u2019s first movie, it is set in Jamaica and features Honey Rider, the first ever Bond girl, and Dr. No, the Bond Villain that lends its name to the movie title. The villain\u2019s hideout is built into a cave on an island called Crab Key and much to the apanage of the 007 films, the cave is decorated in luxury and lavishness. There are no chandeliers or places to put one, so that\u2019s why we think that the Miles<\/a> modern floor lamp, one of DelightFULL\u2019s most iconic mid-century lamps would be a perfect moodsetter in that luxurious cave. Be it for a villain\u2019s cove, or a luxurious manner, this modern floor lamp is the embodiment of modern luxury.<\/p>\n

2. From Russia With Love \u2013 Matheny<\/h3>\n

\"Mid-century<\/a><\/h3>\n

From Russia With Love, from 1963, came out on the peak of the Cold War era, and features a strong statement of \u201cAmerican luxury\u201d in its sets. DelightFULL<\/a> embodies luxury, but there is no mid-century lamp more lavish than the Matheny. It fits the aesthetic of the whole movie as well as Tatiana Romanova\u2019s seductive personality and Bond\u2019s classy demeanor.

3. GoldFinger: Etta Chandelier<\/h3>\n

\"Mid-century<\/a>
\nLavish, luxurious, feminine, brilliant. These are all words that we immediately think of when we think of Goldfinger\u2019s Pussy Galore. They are also the words you inevitably think about when you\u2019re struck by the sight of the Etta<\/a> chandelier. There are no more words needed to explain why we think these two are the perfect match.

4. You Only Live Twice: Sinatra<\/h3>\n

\"Mid-century<\/a><\/h3>\n

There are many things truly iconic in this movie. Be it Ernst Blofeld, the cat wielding, chair spinning, German villain, be it the impressive amazing sets, the theme song, or Aki, the Bond Girl, this movie is full of pop-culture marks. Our choice for this film is the Sinatra<\/a>\u00a0mid-century suspension lamp. It is simple, yet extravagant, luxurious and sumptuous. It fits the description of Aki, Nancy Sinatra the theme\u2019s iconic singer, Bond and Blofeld. It\u2019s another perfect match.<\/p>\n

5. Diamonds Are Forever: Cannonball<\/h3>\n

\"Mid-century<\/a>
\nMuch like DelightFULL<\/a>\u2018s inspiration for our mid-century design, this one is all about the music. Who can forget Shirley Bassey\u2019s golden, silky smooth voice, singing Diamonds Are Forever\u2019s homonymous theme song? It\u2019s an explosion of brilliance, much like the modern light fixture\u00a0Cannonball<\/a>, that explodes into golden tubes, lit at the edge by small, DIAMOND-like lamps. At DelightFULL we find inspiration in every single one of our mid-century lamps, but this one just seems to fit the whole movie\u2019s aesthetic.<\/p>\n
