Designed by Daniel and Sarah Bullen-Webb, Iluka London’s Facet Pendant light’s are handmade from a frosted clear resin and Australian red-mallee burr wood. Each pendant is completely unique as the facets are cut at random and finished to a natural matte texture by hand. They are complemented by an antique brushed brass light fitting (housing a replaceable G9 light light source), with cream twisted silk flex. www.ilukalondon.com
3rd Place: Alma Meseme Studio With an arresting sculptural yet symmetrical accent, Alma table light is an attempt to reimagine a classic for a contemporary fixture to enhance the extraordinary modern-day spaces. Handcrafted using brass, TIR lens, clear glass and integrated LED source, makes it a well-balanced and adaptable luminaire. With the TIR lens acting as an enlightened rod, Alma offers a glare-free warm tone creating a calm and soothing surrounding. Launched late November 2021, Alma is the debut product of Meseme Studio, a contemporary lighting and accessories studio based in London. It is designed by emerging and award-winning designer Riya Panchal in collaboration with skilful craftsmen and assembled in the UK. Dimensions: height 420mm, diameter 170mm. www.mesemestudio.com
4th Place: Antoinette Studio Aristotelis Barakos With its luxuriant, silky metal finish and the milky light it pours all around it, the Antoinette table lamp is a tribute to the sparkling, golden-hued reveries of generations of champagne drinkers, with a meaningful nod to royal Versailles decadence. Using cutting-edge LED technology and high-quality materials, the signature shape of the shallow champagne coupe is transformed into an elegant table lamp featuring smooth, discreet touch controls. The light of a circular 12V LED module under the lamp’s top lid is diffused by an opaline bowl, producing a soft downward light. A metal touch dimmer switch on the base provides a tactile on/off function with 10-100% adjustment. It is made of metal and available in brushed bronze, with the option of copper finish, as well as satin finish in a variety of colours. Dimensions: height 30cm, width 25cm. www.aristotelisbarakos.com
