Poul Henningsen's Artichoke Lamps

The consummate modernist chandelier, Poul Henningsen's Artichoke Lamp (1958) is composed of layers of overlapping "leaves," which produce crisp, glare-free light from 360 degrees. Each leaf is laser-cut for precision and is configured by hand. The Artichoke is aptly suited to a dining room, entryway or reception desk. Manufactured in Denmark by Louis Poulsen

Modern Floor Lamps and Table Lamps by Top European Designers

Tolomeo Wall Spot Tolomeo Micro Lamp
The Tolomeo design features a matte anodized aluminum diffuser that swivels 360 degrees and can be easily turned with a cool-to-the-touch steel handle. When the Tolomeo Desk Lamp (1987) was honored with the Compasso d'Oro Award in 1989, the lamp was recognized for achieving the perfect marriage of design and engineering.

 

AJ Floor Lamp Fortuny Lamp Costanza Floor Lamp
Arne Jacobsen created his AJ Floor Lamp (1960) to echo the oblique angles of his Series 3300 furniture, which included the Egg Chair and the Swan Chair. The Fortuny Lamp (1907) represents the early modernist emphasis on industrial materials, functional style and the spatial role of objects. Paolo Rizzato's Costanza Floor Lamp (1986) has been copied so frequently, it's become an archetype of modern lighting. Costanza's square brushed-aluminum base firmly holds a telescoping stem that is adjustable

Modern Pendants and Chandeliers by Top European Designers

Cellula Chandelier - Complete Set Murano Glass Chandelier
 Cellula Chandelier - Complete Set  Murano Glass Chandelier
Distilling the concept of a chandelier down to a single queue of exquisitely cut Swarovski® crystal pendants, the Cellula is dramatic without being fussy or overbearing. The design refracts the light of nine bulbs through numerous shapes and sizes of full leaded, faceted crystal. Over a century old, Swarovski is the leader in precision-cut crystal, which has a much higher refractive index than standard glass, resulting in a more sparkling illumination Produced on the island of Murano using traditional glass forging and blowing techniques, the Murano Glass Chandelier represents the grandeur of 800-year-old craftsmanship. Dramatic in its scale, color and delicate filigree, the design is a reproduction of a 17th-century Venetian-style chandelier, with scrolling leaf and flower motifs.

 

Le Klint Hanging Light PH5 Pendant Lamp Icon Pendant
Architect Poul Christiansen's classic folded lamps have the same following in Europe as George Nelson's Bubble Lamps have in the U.S., gracing homes, public spaces and royal chambers for nearly a century. Having graced the halls of universities, restaurants and libraries in Europe for decades, the PH5 Pendant Lamp is one of Poul Henningsen’s most recognizable lighting designs. With a Panton-like playfulness, the Icon Lamp (2003) by Ferruccio Laviani is at once simple and dramatic in its scale and color.

 

Globo di Luce Pendant Giogali Chandelier

Roberto Menghi¹s iconic Globo di Luce Pendant (1968) has been reinterpreted many times ­ but nothing compares to the original. Blown glass defines the shape of the globe, which is handcrafted Comprising 150 handblown Murano glass rings, the Giogali Chandelier (1967) is a classic exercise in customization. Each clear ring can be arranged on the three-ring chromed steel armature to create chandelier figurations of varying lengths and shapes. The glass' quality maximizes light intensity and creates dramatic refractions of light on surrounding surfaces
