Both sculptural and light, the Dancing Pendant Light from Menu is a refined overhead light with an unexpected shape. The pleated shade is constructed of a polyester felt, giving the pendant both visual and tactile texture. Resembling a tutu or a skirt, the shade has a flared, pyramidal silhouette that is given certain movement with the undulating waves of the shade. The Dancing Pendant Light was inspired by the idea of an elegant dancer on the floor, mid-twirl.

Designed by Nat Cheshire for Resident, the Oud Table Lamp is a versatile light that can be used as a desk light or as an accent lamp on a bedside table. Structured in a sharply angled, continuous line, the brass lamp conceals the mechanisms for the LED, making the light appear as if it is coming from the metal itself. The Oud diffuses warm light, and is operated by the crimson marble sphere at the lamp’s base.

Where other wall lights can appear weighty and expected, the Hope Wall Light from Luceplan provides a more optimistic option. Crafted from incredibly light materials, Hope reinterprets traditional lamps with a more sophisticated technology and contemporary materials. Although it appears to be made of glass, Hope consists of a series of thin polycarbonate Fresnel lenses, which are created by using imprinted microprisms on film to achieve a glass-like effect, without the limitations of thickness and weight.
