Rise Wall Lamp
This charming little lamp steals the show and shines a bright light in whatever space it occupies. Perfect as a bedside lamp or in a reading corner, the Rise Wall Lamp features stumpy proportions, refined lines, gorgeous materials, and is available in a variety of charming colors.
Serge Mouille 2 Arm Ceiling Lamp
The Serge Mouille 2 Arm Ceiling Lamp joins its fellow Serge Mouille lamps to pay homage to the designer’s visionary influence. Using simple materials and clean, sharp lines the Serge Mouille 2 Arm Ceiling Lamp adopts the insect-like features that helped Serge Mouille find his footing in the lighting world. Two arms, each capped by a single shade drop from a single canopy angling to adopt the same insect-inspired expression.
Signal Zig-Zag Floor Lamp - SI433
The Signal SI433 components are simple: concentric circles for the shade, an alloy of copper, zinc, and tin for the inner workings, and four thin, strong, jointed arms. The idea behind the Signal series was adaptability – a desk, table, bedroom, library, or living room lamp that would focus light through a pivoting base and shade wherever it was needed most.
Amp Wall Lamp
Bottling the nostalgia of 1960s tube amplifiers while capturing industrial modernity, the ghostly, modern silhouette of the Amp Wall Lamp consists of simple materials: glass, marble, and metal. The opaque glass shade filters the LED light for a warm glow that brings character and comfort to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Available in two finish options – smoke black and gold green – the Amp Lamp can be used by itself or clustered with others for a mosaic display of light.
Phantom Pendant Light
Both ethereal and splendidly artistic, the Phantom Pendant Light has an expressive spirit that’s paired perfectly with its tranquil aesthetic. To create the paper effect, the Phantom Pendant Light stretches semi-transparent resin material over a steel skeleton giving the impression that the framework is pushing its way through.
