Add Highlights With Lighting

Lighting helps shape a space and enhance the items within it, allowing you to highlight areas of focus. Casting some directional lighting can also create new shapes and silhouettes, further expanding the interior design reach. So considering the type of lighting you bring into your space is key, from upward lighting, to soft diffusers, there are such a range of options to choose from. Here we’ve curated some of our favourites.

The Arx Floor Lamp by Cattelan Italia is a minimalist design, featuring an arched structure supported by a solid round base. The diffuser is a circular metal cut-out creating an almost halo lighting effect. Similarly, and named as such, is the Halo Table Lamp by Porada which is an elegant dimmable table lamp with an integrated LED light fitted into a pewter metal ring, supported by a natural marble base.

If dimmable soft diffusion works well for your space, then you may like the Soffio Table Lamp by Foscarini featuring an elegant white and clear ombre blown glass diffuser, with a round aluminium top. The Bump Suspension Light by Foscarini also casts a soft glow of downward light from its irregular organic semi-circular diffuser which features intentional bumps and dents for a truly relaxed finish.

For bold and striking design appeal you may want to explore the Nahun Suspension Light by Cattelan Italia, housing LED lights on its slender elongated arcs of embossed steel. The cluster of arcs all provide a complex cast of light around the design. Or if you are looking for an interesting focal point on your wall, the Gioia Wall Light by Foscarini features a sheet of laser cut acrylic glass housing an organic shaped piece of white Carrara Gioia marble in the centre. A hidden LED light source casts light behind the marble, and glows gently across the surrounding wall. 

So, take some time to consider the different light fixtures and functions available within interiors today. How might you use them to further enhance your existing space?
