This curated lineup features beaded electrical cords masquerading as jewelry, glowing pebble towers, color-changing moons and a table lamp whimsically crowned by a… fly?!

Whether handcrafted, app-controlled, or delightfully eccentric, they redefine mood and ambience through vibrant color, rich texture, and master craftsmanship.
Designed by Italian philosopher, artist, and industrial designer Andrea Anastasio for Foscarini, Filo reflects his 12-year sojourn in India. Inspired by the Rani Haar, a traditional royal necklace featuring long, multi‑tiered gold strands bedecked with pearls, rubies, and emeralds, the once-utilitarian electrical cord unexpectedly takes center stage as the lamp’s decorative focal point. Filo is available as a floor lamp or a wall sconce in multiple colors.
An extra-long, fabric-covered cord, embellished with Murano glass and porcelain elements in a variety of colors and shapes, loops gracefully around the lamp post’s hook. The white conical porcelain lampshade acts as a quiet counterpoint, casting a soft glow over the ornamental beads below. The floor lamp’s 300 cm (118”) cord and 152 cm (60”) post come in various color combinations. A 4W G9 LED bulb (3000K, 400 lumens) is included.
Arturo Álvarez, founder of Spanish artisanal lighting firm a-emotional light, is celebrated for his nature inspired and innovative work with stainless steel mesh. With Nevo, the industrial material is hand-sculpted and painted into a pendant fixture that is at once organic and abstract.
The handcrafted fixture’s silhouette shifts depending on vantage point, while the interplay of light and shadow adds a sense of drama.
Meet MoodMoon, a wall sconce by Sebastian Hepting for Ingo Maurer that offers a captivating fusion of high touch and high tech. Developed during the COVID pandemic, this award-winning fixture applies humancentric lighting principles to promote physical and psychological well-being through light and color. A prior stint in Japan alongside his longtime collaboration with Ingo Maurer honed Hepting’s sensibility toward Japanese paper. Sheets of white Washi are hand-picked at the Munich workshop for their distinctive fibrous texture and light-diffusing qualities.
The light fixture comes in 4 configurations: 60 cm (23.6”) Round or 75 cm (29.5) Square at 45 watts max, and 85 cm (33.5”) Round or 105 cm (41.3”) Square at 60 watts max. Backlit by static and dynamic RGBW LEDs, the fixture features an app that’s preprogrammed with 14 dimmable lighting scenes to personalize the ambience of any space. The WLAN equipped sconce can be integrated into an existing Wi-Fi network.
While multidisciplinary artist Javier Mariscal is best known for his graphic design, he also successfully forayed into furniture and lighting design.

Ediciones de Diseño, now known as BD Barcelona Design, one of Spain’s most avant-garde furniture manufacturers.

Founded by Italian designer Enzo Catellani, Catellani & Smith specializes in handcrafted lighting.
