No.

Groovy, baby!

It was somewhat fine until I noticed that it seems to extend right into the fridge wall and also has really ugly posts that come down onto the back behind the stove.- then it became ugly.

Is that 1x1 tile on the floor?

As mid-century glow ceilings go, this one's all right.

I like the kitchiness of the hood! It's cool. What I do not like is the cooktop with almost no landing space near it, and the sink which appears to be less than a foot away. Eek.

Or, how about the pots hanging so high from it that you’d need a step stool to reach them? And, why the spindle “room divider”? Totally impractical, unnecessary and just plain silly. As for the hood/ glow ceiling, ugh!

I wonder what it looks like (perspective) in person. From this angle, the aesthetics don't bother me as much as it seems oppressive down so low. Along with the back on the countertop being raised, it all makes me want to duck down in order to see through the area between the two.

It can't be much below 6'9" feet or so. It's higher than the top of the fridge.

The purpose is that it has a large exhaust hood and provides the task lighting for the counter in a vaulted space. The pots are actually reachable to a tall person...there is a lot of distortion in this photo, the sink is probably 18" from the cooktop which isn't a lot. I have never really been a fan of spindles.

The spindles hurt my feelings, although I get that they're functional (protecting people in back of the island from the stove).

Lighted ceilings: I have a problem because they remind me of fluorescent lights and feel dated (I know dated is controversial), BUT I understand that they can be functional and indeed provide nice diffused light. Is anyone doing them in a contemporary way that looks good?

I think there may be a resurgence of something similar because of evenly lit LED panels.

This is commercial but I could see a skylit type application making an appearance in residential.

The thing I don't like about older fluorescent in general is the color rendering and the way that fluorescence flattens everything. And added that in a glow ceiling there were often shadows and dead spots which I couldn't just ignore and I find unpleasant.

I also think some LED is much too cold. I don't want my indoor lighting to look like a bright sunny day, I like a lower temperature. But I can see the evenness of this working pretty well at the right light temperature.

Definitely more attractive than standard fluorescent in the ceiling. I could see myself keeping this set-up. It may be “dated” but I find it interesting and unique.
