Lamps by Top European Designers

 |
| Alega Table Lamp
|
Baton Table Lamp
|
| Vico Magistretti’s Alega Table Lamp (1970) has become an icon of
modern lighting. In Alega, the traditional table lamp shape is made more
compelling by a play of contrasts and negative space. The translucent
base is made from crystal and attaches to the glossy white shade. Alega
is made by a family-run Italian company, whose Murano glass-making
heritage dates back to the 16th century |
A graceful interplay of proportion and material, the Baton Table
Lamp (2008) was designed to illuminate interiors from traditional to
modern. The columnar base has Italian Carrera marble on the bottom,
contrasting with American walnut on top. |

| Kiosk Table Lamp
|
Naxos Table Lamp
|
| Traditional table lamp materials of linen and brass are given a
light scale and modernist shape in the Kiosk Table Lamp (2008). Inspired
by classic mid-century Danish lighting |
The Naxos Table Lamp (1988) is a modern twist on a traditional table
lamp shape: Crafted from Murano glass, Naxos was designed for two bulbs
– one under the shade and another in the base. Naxos is made by a
family-run Italian company whose Murano glass-making heritage dates back
to the 16th century |

| Enne Luci Table Lamp
|
Cosy Table Lamp
|
| Using just glass and chrome to create its slender profile, the Enne
Luci Table Lamp (2005) was designed by architects Michele Romani and
Mauro Saccani for Vistosi. |
“This lamp is at its best in the late evening,” says Cosy Table Lamp
designer Harri Koskinen, “creating a cozy mood about it.” Relying on the
inherent qualities of glass, “in its beauty and ever-changing
qualities,” Koskinen has created a spare and sleek table lamp that
invites you to curl up with a throw blanket and cup of tea. |

|
Costanza Table Lamp |
| Koskinen designed the Cosy Lamp for Muuto, a cutting-edge Finnish
design house that creates “objects made sublime through new
perspectives.” |
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 |

Tolomeo Micro Lamp |
Tizio Desk Lamp |
| 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. |
Form literally meets function with the Tizio Lamp. Designed by
Richard Sapper in 1972, the Tizio is built with two counterweights that
allow the user to direct the light to exactly where it¹s needed. All
that¹s necessary to adjust the lamp is the pull or push of a hand, and
the lamp stays in place without the user having to tighten a knob or
adjust a fastener. |

AJ Floor Lamp |
Fortuny 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 heavy cast iron base of the lamp is a sloped wedge
with a circular cutout that was originally designed to hold an ashtray,
but is equally successful left empty, as it mirrors the shape of circles
and cylinders found throughout the series. |
The Fortuny Lamp (1907) represents the early modernist emphasis on
industrial materials, functional style and the spatial role of objects. |

|
Drink Floor Lamp |
Luxo Great-1 |
Papiro Lamp |
| A modernist revision of the halogen torchiere, the Drink Floor Lamp
(2004) represents both functional and aesthetic advances. Inspired by
the simple, iconic form of a long-stemmed wine glass, the lamp's tall
shade effectively protects the halogen bulb while still allowing for
efficient light-shedding |
The mighty Luxo Great 1 (2006) was introduced to commemorate the
70th anniversary of Jac Jacobsen’s iconic Luxo L-1 Desk Lamp. The Great
1 is made to the same exacting specifications as the L-1 – except much,
much larger. |
Destined to be a showpiece in any room, the Papiro Lamp is a sleek,
long-necked beauty nearly nine feet tall. It has a weighty base for
stability and a uniquely flexible stem that allows the lamp to be shaped
as desired and the light to be directed up, down or at any angle as
needed. |
 |
|
Arco Floor Lamp - White Base |
| One of the classics of modern lighting design-and part of MoMAs
permanent collection-the Arco Floor Lamp (1962) is characterized by the
dramatic arc of its stainless steel stem and the counterpoint provided
by the weighty Carrara marble base. Made in Italy. |

 |
| Cellula Chandelier
|
Giogali Hugger 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. |
Comprising 123 hand-blown Murano glass rings, the Giogali Chandelier
(1967) is an exquisite and instantly recognizable classic of modern
lighting. It was designed by renowned architect Angelo Mangiarotti for
Vistosi |
 |
 |
| Mhy Pendant
|
Enne Luci Suspension Lamp
|
| The Mhy Pendant (2007), with its whimsical and playful shape, was
inspired by the characters and illustrations of children’s literature.
Designed by the collective known as Norway Says, the pendant is sized to
be mounted in clusters or rows over a dining table, hallway or anywhere
you’d like to add a unique design element with an understated character |
Using just glass and chrome to create its slender profile, the Enne
Luci Suspension Lamp (2005) was designed by architects Michele Romani
and Mauro Saccani for Vistosi. |

 |
| PH Snowball Pendant
|
Artichoke Lamp - Glass
|
| Poul Henningsen’s Snowball Pendant (1924) is as much about
mathematics as it is about light. The shapes in this light are precisely
aligned so that every surface receives a ray of light at exactly the
same angle. These rays of light are then reflected, the degree of which
is controlled by Henningsen’s careful placement of matte or glossy
finish. |
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. |

| Cheope Double Suspension
|
Tolomeo Double Suspension
|
| The Cheope Double Suspension Lamp (2003) has two shades that are
created from hand-blown Murano glass. The frosted glass diffusers offer
a pleasant glow. Cheope is made by a family-run Italian company, whose
Murano glass-making heritage dates back to the 16th century |

Le Klint Hanging Light |
Murano Glass Chandelier |
PH5 Pendant Lamp |
| 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.
|
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.
|
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. |

Giogali Chandelier |
Cheope Suspension
|
| Comprising 150 hand-blown 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 |

After attempts at knitting fiberglass as a means of creating structure,
Pot turned to coiling epoxy-dipped fiberglass around a large balloon in
varying patterns. |
