Coming to light with these playful lights for ceilings and tables.
CHANDELIERS
For Fireborn, Lasvit (above) brings together rough-cut chunks of glass and a grid of metal rods that can be configured in infinite ways and sizes. The glass is available in clear, smoke, or amber, among other treatments, and the metal is coated to look soldered. From $40,000; perspectives.lasvit.com
Imagine opalescent puddles of light suspended in midair—sometimes on their sides—and you get the idea behind Philadelphia designer John Pomp’s new Radiant Collection. It includes sconces, flush-mount ceiling fixtures, and chandeliers. From $2,700; johnpomp.com
SUSPENDED CEILING LIGHTS
Philippe Nigro of Barovier&Toso, founded in 1295, used the brand’s signature rostrato glassblowing technique for the Opéra Suspension lamp, made of Venetian crystal and available in brushed finishes of nickel, gold, and copper. $13,300–$22,600; jblightingcollection.com
Artist Andy Goldsworthy said the essence of drawing was “the line exploring space,” which is exactly what Ciszak Dalmas’ Ambrosia light for Marset does, poetically. The modular system is available in matte gold or black finishes. $2,160–$4,030; marset.com
The Volo pendant by Cerno is a combination of spun metal, leather, and walnut that elevates the common dome pendant to something timeless and elegant. It comes in a variety of finish options for the exterior and interior, all handcrafted in California. From $1,550; lumens.com
Canadian lighting firm Bocci recently introduced the 100 pendant light, which cobbles together a grouping of unique handblown shapes into a single suspension light. The designs can be treated modularly to create infinite chandelier combinations. From $695 each; bocci.com
TABLE LAMPS
Bernd Goeckler has introduced a survey of lighting by septuagenarian Italian designer Roberto Rida. The stunning table lamps incorporate remnant pieces of vintage Murano glass framed within a variety of sculptural bases. $9,500–$29,500; berndgoeckler.com
Rodolfo Dordoni’s newly designed product for Foscarini, the Nile table lamp, debuts in June. It partners a marble base with a blown-glass diffuser, its shape and angles inspired by the famous bust of Nefertiti, the queen consort of Egypt. Price available in June; foscarini.com
Luca Nichetto’s Space Invaders line for Shanghai-based Stellar Works is a playful riff on Chinese lanterns. The Dhala table lamp is made of large Murano glass beads assembled within a solid metal frame and illuminated from within by LED lights. $2,500; us.stellarworks.com
Henge’s new Test line of lamps (table and floor) were designed by Ugo Cacciatori and come in a lunar-like polished Ice Onyx or an earthier Rapolano travertine, which emits light through holes in the honed stone. $1,100; henge07.com
