Warm up the upcoming long winter nights with these eight lighting options that are far from ordinary.
Selections from Salut Ça Va, C’est Moi | Carmen D’Apollonio
Rejecting formal design formats, D’Apollonio employs her lit creations to elicit emotion, question our humanity, and rethink how we engage with each other. Pictured here: It’s good to be here (left); ceramic, cotton shade. It’s All a Big Mystery (Right); bronze, sandblasted glass.
Filo sconce | Lefko Collection
Rooted in the French decorative arts tradition, yet guided by a highly personal sculptural vision, Alexandre Logé weaves ancestral symbolism and neoclassical form into Lefko. His inspiration draws on African and Oceanic tribal art, as well as archetypal forms from Cycladic and Egyptian cultures.
Navis sconces | Lumifer
Navis, a figurative extension of the Latin word for ship or vessel, influenced the sleek design of this lighting collection. Propeller design and mechanics served as the naval/aeronautical aesthetic reference for the Navis fixtures, which use the Lumifer brass “T” shape as a main axial from which the articulated shades can pivot from.
Kahn candle sconce | Virginia Sin
A sculptural fold of form and flame. Inspired by the Laze Candelabra and the quiet elegance of cut-and-formed paper, Kahn brings candlelight to the wall through clean lines that bend gently to cradle a taper—a soft gesture that plays with light and shadow.
AWH wall light | Original BTC
Inspired by the Natural History Museum’s distinctive windows and named after the building’s famous architect Alfred Waterhouse, the AWH wall light seamlessly blends a rich materiality. Each solid brass fixture is hand-cast and hand-finished, creating a unique character, while the stepped glass diffuser produces a soft, inviting glow when dimmed.
Rificolona | E-ggs for Miniforms
Made of recycled PLA, the Rificolona lamp’s shape and name are inspired by an ancient Florentine folk festival in which children walk through the streets of the city carrying around, tied to long canes, cheerful colored lanterns. Literally hanging by a thread, the shade, crafted mainly from recycled polyethylene, rotates in dialogue with the light, its density modified with a transparent spray.
Gold Moon Chandelier | Catellani & Smith
Gold Moon Chandelier is composed of a series of discs with irregular shapes, suspended from which are slender cables of different heights ending in beautiful copper curls cradling small LED lights. The internal surface of the discs, covered by hand in gold coloured leaf, engages with the light emitted by the LEDs, amplifying it and creating an alluring ambience.
The Luminaries collection | Loram Ceramics
Loram Ceramics enters the lighting world with The Luminaries, a poetic series of table and floor lamps merging ceramics, paper, and textile. Each piece channels a cosmic calm, translating the artist’s sculptural claywork into illuminated, atmospheric design.
