For anyone serious about their decorative accessories, these sconces are a simple yet pretty addition for candlelight.

Rectangular(10″L x 18″H; candle holder: 4.5″ diam) or
Round(13.5″ diam; candle holder: 4.5″ diam).

I’m not a huge fan of an overly olfactory experience, but I think this is perfect for anyone who is.

“It’s an incense burner. It’s an ashtray. It can hold a taper candle, or a tea light. It’s the four-in-one cube that serves four different functions depending on what side is up. Available in matte black or glossy white, this is a cleverly designed ceramic cube for those who cringe at clutter. Devised by Gualitiero Saachi and made in Italy for Bosa.”

This will most likely cause second glances and inquiries aplenty. Pretty clever.

“It is an E26/E27 bulb with 30 watts – so flexible to fit into pretty much any socket.”

These interesting geometrical shapes are a sight for sore eyes. The soft glow looks to be the perfect amount of light needed for above a dining table or side table.

“It’s shade, made up of a three dimensional fabric hand woven from transparent polypropylene lends the light a look which triggers images of moorish architecture and the calm relax of oriental salons.
This system allows for a wide combination of geometrical shapes of different shapes and size. The collection is made up of spheres, ovals and diamonds.”

Designed by Ray Power.

These would be hard to go wrong with, and it’s available in three different sizes, so you can pick the perfect scale for the space.

“Caravaggio is characterised by direct lighting without glare. Caravaggio also features an opening at the top, which casts light upwards and illuminates both the suspension and cord.”

Material: Metal with high gloss lacquer.

Available in white or black.

Dramatic, indeed. At 30″ diameter, this baby will eat up that space above your dining table and make a statement with no problem at all.

“Way dramatic overscaled crisp white linen taper suspends a clean modern glow to dine by. 15′ plug-in cord works with high loft ceilings.”

Easy to turn on/off and almost indestructable, this lamp is bound to pay for itself with just a few uses. No more worrying about knocking the light over in the dark while searching for that switch…

“This lamp can be switched on or off with a simple wave of the hand and is constructed from a thermoplastic material that makes it nearly impossible to break, creating the perfect table lamp for a young environment. It also features a green LED light that indicates its whereabouts in the dark.”

7h x 6w x 5.25″l

At almost 9 inches high, this relatively small lamp has to be seen in context to be appreciated. The glass base allows the impression of hovering above the table surface which gives a very clean and modern look to a bedroom or living area.

“The pure form of the Join Table Lamp by Vibia, designed by Jordi Vilardell, features a soft cloud of light suspended from inside a Clear borosilicate glass cylinder.”

Diameter 6 in., Height 8.75 in.

Not only is this nicely modern, it’s also super efficient with halogen bulbs and built-in reflectors to provide an adjustable direct light.

“Mondrian is constructed of steel bar and pipe, and moulded parts. To prevent glare, the lamp housing is moulded with a collar around the light source. The translucent ring in moulded acrylic insulates the heat from the outermost section of the lamp head. The ring lights up when the lamp is on, and indicates how to adjust the light. Mondrian’s light can be directed 180 degrees horizontally and 335 degrees vertically.”

Size: 17.5″h x 13″w

This is another piece from the Plastic-Fantastic collection, in which you can select the color of the Soft Skin® rubber coating.

“The focus of the collection has been vintage and restored pieces in a baroque style the forms of which become somewhat homogenized with the unification of a single color.”

These look quite lovely. Almost ghost-like…though that might be due to the photography.

This perfect spotlight would work well to illuminate a task area. Also, the price is right and the quality is high.

*Reader Update*:

A reader just purchased 8 of these and said that “the product shot is a bit deceiving. It looks like the light mounts flush to the wall when in fact the back plate will stick out almost an inch from the wall unless you do a lot of extra work to recess the unit into the wall. But they’re still really nice.”
