do you love famous lights as much as i do
hey everyone lighting is such a big deal when it comes to interior design not only for its
practical use in lighting up an interior but also because it can add so much to the look and
design of the space not only are the actual light fixtures important but so many lighting designers
and their designs have become iconic in the world of interior design in fact sometimes an amazing
light fixture can be the focal point in a room or the most interesting part of the room a while back
a long while back i put together my top 5 iconic light fixtures in this
video i'll link it below because even now all of those lights are still the best lights ever
but just as i said in the video it was very hard to narrow down my favorites to just five
so today i'm adding to my list in no particular order and i mean it because
it's too hard to rate them here are another five amazing nope iconic light fixtures
you'll want to consider for your interior i have a feeling there will be a third video
the bauhaus lamp also known as the wagonfeld wg24 table lamp i'm not sure there's another example of
something designed during a specific movement that singularly represents that movement as this table
lamp in fact it has a name but most know what i'm talking about when i say the bauhaus lamp the lamp
itself is made up of a series of simple geometric shapes a circular base a cylindrical shaft and a
round glass shade designed by willem wagenfeld in 1924 the bauhaus lamp looks and feels exactly
what the bauhaus school of art set out to create a world where art architecture and industrial design
was focused on this one statement form follows function the designs from this movement were a
celebration of mass production but in a way that still made the aesthetics of these mass-produced
objects pleasing to the eye and focused on making them look great without ornamentation
i love the shape i think its simplicity is what keeps this lamp so relevant today
it can sit in any interior and still stand on its own each lamp is numbered making it a
piece worthy of having as part of your home decor and definitely an icon when it comes to lighting
logico by artimidi the next lighting icon is from artemite many of their
lights are some of my favorites and this one in particular is called the
logico this one comes in many types of lights from a ceiling mounted version
to a pendant type of light they also have table lamp versions and wall sconces
it looks like billowy satin fabric but is actually undulating glass the logico is hand blown in the
softest looking frosted glass and then coated with a satin finish so that it sparkles and transmits
light beautifully i always look for light fixtures that look as stunning when they are turned off
as they do when the light filters through them and this light in particular looks beautiful in
both situations the folds of the glass adds so much depth and interest to the fixture
it can be used in almost any setting from a dining room pendant
to a great feature light above your living room it made me stop in my tracks in singapore at this
hotel it also comes in modular pieces where you can combine the logico into all sorts of shapes
and in this corporate setting the modular shades are the best way to make a statement
provide light and still look refined and beautiful
it's definitely one of my favorite iconic lights by the way they come in different colors now but
if you're talking iconic then stick with the white are you enjoying this video then go ahead and

another artie icon in lighting is the mercury
it can be ceiling mounted where the large disc is mounted to the ceiling
or it can be suspended like this either option is just magical and the customizations are endless
designed by ross lovegrove the true essence of nature and technology are fused
together to create a sculptural light fixture that reflects light
and the environment all around in the designer's own words during the day the piece acts as a
sculptural object reflecting the dynamics of natural light and movement of people around them
two of the floating pebbles reflect light off of the die cast aluminum disk
which bounces light back down through the other pebbles of shiny chrome
finish you can even see yourself in those pebbles
again i love a light that looks great on and off
lindsay adelman's branching bubble collection
lindsay adelman and her branching bubble collection are fast becoming the most recent
icons of lighting each light is custom ordered though you will find many inspired look-alikes
that will be much more affordable but just imagine having a real art piece like this
that doubles as a light fixture that's what you're getting when you get one of her pieces
i think what i love most is the mix of the hand blown glass with the structured metal parts each
one is asymmetrical in overall shape too giving the fixture a different look from every angle
adelman also makes these fixtures in a vertical shape perfect for a stairwell
or this lovely accent in the corner
and i love the options for different colored glass and metals
as they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery well you'll find lots of imitations
of this branching bubble like design but in my book the original is and always will be iconic
ribbon light by claire norcross
another table lamp that is an absolute must on any iconic lighting list
designed in 2004 this award-winning lamp is meant to look like a ribbon and came
about with exploring origami shapes and folds i love how striking this lamp is
many of these lights have one thing in common they look amazing and different from all angles
it doesn't matter where you place them they are intriguing and interesting
and stand apart from everything else around them in fact the ribbon light is so sculptural
you might not realize it actually functions as a table lamp it's like a lamp incognito it comes in
two sizes and two colors and i'd honestly have trouble deciding on which one to get
but whichever one you end up with you've got an iconic light fixture in your midst so here's
your takeaway these iconic lights are like art with a functional element they provide light and
ambience but they also provide a jolt of something exciting and creative they are reminders that art
and function can truly co-exist and since lighting is such an important element to any interior it
can also be the most exciting thing you choose for that room even if these iconic lighting designs
are out of your budget always remember to look for lights that stand out and make a statement
that's worth every penny also don't forget to check out the first five iconic lights on my list
