As the days grow shorter and darkness settles in earlier, lighting becomes essential in creating a cozy, inviting home atmosphere. With winter fast approaching, now is the perfect time to rethink how we light our spaces.

Whether you're looking to add a statement floor lamp, upgrade your bedside lighting, or introduce a gentle glow in the living room, choosing the right lamps can make all the difference.
This season, let’s explore how fresh lighting choices can make your home a haven of comfort and style.
Kite by New Works is a work of proportion and abstraction, blending pure and geometric silhouettes with smooth, textured materiality. The same structural elements are adapted into three different sizes, each echoing the other like a tale that alters subtly with each retelling. Delicate taping contours the silhouettes, a technical refinement that enriches depth and contrast. Whether displayed together or separately, the Kite Pendant Lamps serve as a luminous sculptural element.
Designed in close collaboration between &Tradition and the Panton family, Verner Panton’s Flowerpot floor lamp by &Tradition brings a new level of illumination to homes and professional spaces.

The Two-Layer pendant by Muuto brings new perspectives to the classic glass pendant with its rippled, mouth-blown glass, creating unique optical effects from different angles. This refined design combines clear and frosted glass with a punched steel mesh, providing ample, glare-free light. The blend of glossy and matte finishes creates a harmonious, sculptural form that acts as a self-illuminating sculpture. Perfect for dining settings or above counters, it adds visual intrigue and elegance to any space.
Drome by HAY is a versatile table lamp defined by its distinctive oval shape. The lamp’s stretched elliptical form changes the perception of the lamp, depending on which angle it is viewed from. Concealed inside the hollow form is a replaceable integrated light source, creating a unified, minimalistic silhouette that enables light to glow through it. The inline step dimmer allows the light output to be adjusted, making the lamp a versatile light source that can be used to create atmosphere in a variety of environments and settings, from a bedside table or desk to a windowsill or bookshelf.

Designed with portability in mind, this compact lighting solution stands out for its craftsmanship and durable plastic construction, making it an exceptionally versatile product. Blending functionality and design, the lamp boasts an LED light source that emits a soft, diffused glow and an adjustable dimmer switch for ultimate ambience control.

Originally designed in 1954, the Bagdad portable lamp by Gubi is a brilliantly offbeat showcase of Mathieu Matégot’s material affinity with perforated metal. A multifaceted, cubist construction with a comet-like tail, the Bagdad’s sculptural design has proven timeless in its playful uniqueness. The new edition scales down the size by half and adds a further element of versatility by making it portable. The small brass ball at the top of the lamp was solely decorative in Matégot’s design, but now functions as a touch-activated dimmer mechanism in the portable edition.
The Bell shade by Ferm Living is carefully constructed from durable powder-coated steel and boasts a minimalist design aesthetic. As part of the Collect Lighting Series, it is available in various complementary colours that can be seamlessly paired with other pieces in the series. Its elegant design showcases graceful curves and a bell-shaped silhouette, perfect for hanging above a dining table or kitchen island to produce a cosy and welcoming ambience.

Tripod series by &Tradition is built from powder-coated steel with brass details, reflects the clean minimalism of historic Copenhagen-based duo Hvidt & Mølgaard. Considered Old Masters of mid-century Danish design, their pieces often lend a sculptural element to the spaces they inhabit. For easy articulation and a more precise light, a swivel joint has been developed – a feature now seen across the entire Tripod range.
Brim by HAY is an ambient pendant with a coloured pressed glass shade, inspired by classic glass pendants from past times. The familiar light typology has been updated in new materials and construction to optimise the function whist retaining the pendant’s timeless aesthetics. The internal sphere conceals the bulbs, which is surrounded by a distinctive fluted glass shade that enhances the light diffusion.
