Spine was born out of a period of intense experimentation while investigating the sculptural potential of fluted polypropylene. This industrial material when coated with bookbinding fabric has many qualities that make it perfect for lighting. It is strong, light weight,and can achieve subtle layers of light diffusion. www.ciaraoneill.co.uk
Orion’s glass sphere is wrapped in a satin gold ring that conceals a Low Voltage LED strip. This 2700k light source reflects off the golden surfaces, and is then diffused and refracted across and through the surface of the entire globe. At a mere 7W, Orion is a highly energy efficient luminaire. www.baroncelli.com
Stark, elegant and resolute, the Pipeline 40 Table lamp and Pipeline 125 Floor lamp stands upright, balancing on a chrome mirror weighted base reflecting its stance and creating the illusion of floating. Pipeline emits a wide vertical beam through a specially developed diffuser designed to soften LED light while maximizing output. www.andlight.ca

The design for this Stackable has been inspired by the classic dodecahedron shape and is comprised of the finest pine from the vast forests of Scandinavia, etched brass detailing and handmade vegetable tanned leather details. Stack several on the same cord, use one as a statement piece or create your own unique cluster design. www.blankture.com
The Fuchsia pendant is a floral inspired wooden pendant light. Handmade in England this pendant uses sustainable timbers and an LED bulb to create a visually captivating piece. The bulb is concealed from direct view and the unique shape uses reflection to bounce light and create a stunning warm glow. www.macmasterdesign.com
A master of contrast, these lights set striking, linear silhouettes against elegant curved contours. Each design is imbued with a sense of sophistication with clever design details such as intricate perforations in brushed shades to softly diffuse light and timeless chain switches. www.bertfrank.co.uk
