This reflective modern lamp would be a smart choice for over a dining table or in a living room.

“Known for finely crafted creations using recovered materials and metal, Dutch furniture designer Piet Hein Eek reinvents the lampshade in shining faceted aluminum. Silver.”

Measures approximately 13¾” diameter.

I love the scale of this floor lamp.

“The Tolomeo design begins with a heavy base and ends with a matte anodized aluminum diffuser that swivels 360 degrees and can be easily turned with a cool-to-the-touch steel handle. In between, the lamp’s dual-arm body adjusts by loosening and tightening the central and bottom joints, and steel tension cables provide infinite positions in which the lamp can be held. The Mega comes with a 17″ parchment shade that reaches far over a sofa or bed.”

We have posted the regular Dioscuri Lamps before, but this is the ceiling/wall version, and I do have to say I’m quite taken with this as an option for above a bathroom mirror.

“this ceiling/wall mounted luminaire produces brilliant incandescent lighting. it is UL listed for wet locations and suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. a minimalist design features a simple globe and a totally hidden support structure. globe diffusers are comprised of etched white hand-blown glass, available in two distinct sizes 25(10″) and 35(14″). even though not normally visible the white mounting plate is made of durable and sleek polycarbonate. the lamp is designed for mounting to standard electrical junction boxes UL approved.”

dioscuri 35 13.3″h x 13.7″w, $232

This is less than $50, which is crazy considering most lamps that look similar to this retail for more than $200 (at least).

“This softly lit Honeycomb Table Lamp is made of silk worm cocoon and sits atop a wooden base. The unique swirls make this lamp a perfect accent for any living space. A definite eye-catching design.”

Sure, it’s expensive, but I usually don’t like oil lamps and this one completely changed my mind. I kind of love it.

“Glass hurricane lamp houses an upturned light bulb, ironically converted into oil lamp, suspended by dipping wires. A functional sculpture created in homage to Thomas Alvin Edison’s 1879 unveiling of the world’s first long-lasting electric lamp, which lasted 13.5 hours.”

7″ x 13¾”.

Indestructible lighting made from recyclable materials seems like a wise purchase, and at this price you won’t have to save up for it either…

“The Jerry Lamp (2005) represents a new level in lighting flexibility – literally. Made from recyclable silicone, Jerry is soft and durable, able to be dropped, knocked or tipped over with little concern. The malleable hook shape means that Jerry can be used for virtually any application – hook it onto the headboard of the bed or off the side of a bookshelf, place it on a side table or counter.”

We’ve posted this before (Gus Lightstick), but it’s 60% off (!) here…

“A single bulb sits within a stainless steel frame while the top has a hidden bracket to attach to the wall. Its genius is in its simplicity.”

Size: 80″h x 5.5″w x 5.5d”

Update: No longer available from original retailer at discounted price, fyi.

This would add some elegant ambient light to a table.

“Clean lines, controlled curves and a clever composition bring an element of sophistication to any dinner setting with Maxim Velcovsky’s interlinked tealight holders.”

1.5″Ø x 3.25″L x 2.5″H

Hand made by the designer, the log lamp provides a subtle light with a big impact.

“A surprising synthesis of material, form and function, the log lamp suggests that illumination sometimes comes from where you least expect it. The lamp’s stylized shape intimates its natural inspiration; when switched on, a soft glow through its frosty frame places it firmly in a modern context. Molded in plastic from a real log.”

Hand cast plastic resin.

You might have to save up for it, but this pendant lamp sure would cast a nice ambient glow.

“All three [shades] have carefully been staggered in order to avoid any direct glare from the light source. The light and shadows from the fixture are ever changing when viewing the fixture from different angles.”

Material: Snow white (white), heavenly blue (blue), spring green (green), hotlips (pink) or smoke screen (smoketinted).

The legna pod votive is made from remnants of the legna lamp.

“The pod votive adheres to the principles of jefdesigns: clean, minimal, and organically modern. Hand-fabricated by the designer of open-ended, bottomless frosted acrylic tubes, wood veneer and aluminum hardware, each piece is unique and quantities are limited. Pod votives are made to order and ship in approximately 1 week.

The Legna Pod votive is intended for use in dry conditions with tealights only. If necessary, the acrylic may be cleaned with a wet cloth. LED tealights, a greener alternative to conventional candles, are ideal and sold separately.

Available in single, triple and quad configurations. All dimensions are approximate. Actual wood is used so expect variation from samples shown

Veneer options: teak,zebrawood,rosewood,bamboo.”
