Modern Paper Lamp from Gervasoni - a round shade

The 01/02/03 modern lamp from Gervasoni gives a funky new twist to the paper lamp. Taking a popular decor item and making it into something surprising and eye-catching, Italian company Gervasoni had added black spots to the round lamps! The light gently diffuses through the paper shade, emphasizing the contrasting spotty pattern. Available in three sizes, 01/02/03 looks amazing in clusters of three. Suitable for any room of the house, the paper lamps are easy to install and you’ll love the effect. An ultra-modern idea from Gervasoni to express an out-of-the-ordinary personal style!

Modern Ceiling Light from Artek by designer Alvar Aalto

This appealing modern ceiling light, the A338 Bilberry, is from Artek. The simple, bulbous form is designed by Alvar Aalto, a Finnish architect and designer. His vision lives on classic pieces like the A338 Bilberry ceiling light. The bottom of the light sphere, on one side only, is cut away. The top of the sphere meets another shape, a bump on top which had a depressed pattern around the circumference. It is a straight-to-the-point item, which will be most at home in an ultra-modern interior. In white painted steel, the ceiling light is effective in clusters, or used on its own to highlight key features, or special nooks and crannies, around the room. A modern classic by Alvar Aalto, brought to you by Artek.

Jake Phipps Hats Pendant Lights

You’ve simply got to take your hat off to such original thinking – the remarkable Jeeves and Wooster suspended ceiling lights are by Jake Phipps. The company states that the hats ‘reflect a bygone era of imperialism, class divide and eccentricity’ – and thus re-appropriates the clothing items to this unexpected, thought-provoking use. Made from authentic bowler and top hats, this lighting makes a statement without saying a word. An interesting political paradox emerges from these ‘classic British cultural icons’ that once said so much about their wearer. Now, we can appreciate the form – the sharp tailoring and silky interiors. Function modern art: Jeeves and Wooster pendant lights are by the London-based company Jake Phipps, and are available to buy direct from the studio.

Tubular Ceiling Light by Zava

Looking for a tubular ceiling light that is modern, straightforward and yet absolutely striking? The Bull ceiling light by Zava is bold in its minimalism. It takes up less physical space than most other ceiling lamps, yet is captivating due to its distinctive tubular form. The suspended lamp resembles wind chimes or percussion instruments, and one might almost expect to hear music or bells. The body of the light is available from 4” long to almost 20” long and in four colors: Satin-finish aluminium, red, black or white. It can be set as low as you want for direct accent lighting or over a table in place of a chandelier. No matter where you chose to hang them, the Bull ceiling lamps will match any contemporary design, from sleek to industrial, and will never cease to be noticed and admired. Zava
