Modern Architectural Lighting by Swarovski

Simply brilliant modern architectural lighting: these pieces are part of Swarovski’s latest collection. The ever-popular Swarovski knows well the magical effect created when light and crystal are combined. Rainbows are revealed – creating an inimitably exclusive aura. Eyris wall-mounted lamp and Eyris Mono pendant are oval shaped lamps, tapering to a point at each end, which lend a room the polished look of an exclusive hotel. Mosaicx is a surface-mounted rectangular mosaic of fine crystals, ideal for lighting corridors or bedrooms. Ringlet is aptly named… a ring of crystals casts a colorful play of light around this ceiling recessed luminaire. For rooms with a high ceiling, try the beautiful Turns luminaire, which stars a total of 20 prisms in a double spiral. Octa and Madison make use of a single, brilliantly cut crystal – particularly suitable for contemporary rooms. Contact the crystal experts – Swarovski – for more information on their newest modern architectural lighting.

Suspension Lamp from Sillux - a stunning centrepiece

The Redentore suspension lamp from Sillux simply exudes good taste. The eye-catching lamp would be a stunning centrepiece for any modern room. Made in a combination of chrome and blown pyrex glass, its look is bold yet extremely likeable. Spider-like in appearance; ‘legs’ jut out from a central ‘body’. Each of these curving ‘legs’ is tipped with a tiny, twinkling light. The reflective surfaces of the lamp catch the light and multiply the effect. An expressive, aesthetically pleasing contemporary suspension lamp, the Redentore is by Sillux.

Ross Lovegrove Aqua Cil Table Lamp from Artemide

We love the Aqua Cil Table Lamp by Ross Lovegrove from Artemide! It’s got a real ‘wow’ factor… although so simple it boasts a totally elegant structure. It’s unusual to find a lamp made from almost entirely from die-cast aluminium (the stem is steel). Unexpectedly, the lampshade reflects the light waves, rather than simply allowing them to shine through (as in the case of glass shades). Artemide put it rather well: ‘The reflective properties of the material create an effect of dematerialization of the physicality of the object’. Available in opaque chrome, polished chrome, metallic polished orange, and metallic polished blue, the Aqua Cil table lamp offers a bright focal point for any contemporary setting. Carry the look around the room with matching table, floor and suspension options. You won’t regret investing in this modern classic from Artemide, the Aqua Cil table lamp.

Modern Classic Lamps from Lamp - new Marea range

The new Marea modern lamps from Lamp are a perfect blend of modernity and elegance. With all the grace of a modern classic, the clarity and lightness of the lamps is immediately apparent. Feminine, waving lines rendered in fine satin glass and glittering Swarovski crystals make the design unforgettable. In a demonstration of skilled craftsmanship, the satin glass undergoes a porcelain water-jet treatment to etch the abstract motif. The shade is then curved and sanded to reveal the transparency of the glass. There is Marea for any application – the floor-standing; the table lamp or the ceiling-suspended lamp will provide for your every lighting need. The versatile nature of the design means that large, customised projects can also be realised. Contact Lamp for more information.

These floral chandeliers from Elizabeth Lyons will add a feminine finishing touch to your home interior…

Modern Lamp from Lampnet - new Ball (Sfera) lamps are from another planet

The new modern lamp from Lampnet is the ultimate in house design. It has the shape of a ball (sphere) and it is suitable for tables, floors or ceilings. The design of the ball itself relies on an essential structure made of chrome iron. A geometric pattern of disks forms a shell for the source of light. This guides the eye in following around the shadows projected on the walls, furniture or on people around. The shape is highly adaptable to a multitude of surfaces such as floors, tables or it may also be put directly onto the ground. And that's not all. It also functions as an applique spotlight or suspension to satisfy every need of furnishing. To use it for the table or for ground, the ball lamp comes with a base in red, black or transparent Plexiglas. Available in chrome steel or gold, the Lampnet modern lamp can be the most stylish feature in any house.
