Symmetry in design captures the essence of the Maxim Lighting Elle collection. Graceful sweeping arms, finished in either Polished Chrome or Oil-Rubbed Bronze, support bold Frosted glass shades. Xenon light sources supply a bright, natural light. Maxim Lighting was founded in 1970 when aeronautical engineering student Jacob Sperling began to design and build his own light fixtures, which he first sold out of the back of a station wagon! The company has grown exponentially since and today it features a wide variety of lighting that spans different styles and is suitable for any space. Maxim Lighting's sister company is ET2, another Lights Online brand, which focuses on contemporary lighting designs.
