Different interior décor schemes have different needs and wants from one to the next. A room dedicated to art and sculpture will need lighting that showcases these items in the best light. The Treluci floor lamp can be placed in the close vicinity of these decorative objects and will not in any way interfere with the overall scene. In fact, the contemporary and stylish framework of the lamp will add a touch of elegance and interest in its own right.

It’s not just a lamp for art showcasing either. The floor lamp with adjustable lights can be used in a reading area such as next to a much loved and comfortable armchair in the corner of a front room or back bedroom. One lamp can act as a light for the all-important act of reading whilst another can point towards a bookcase full of books or a nearby table with a vase of colorful flowers on top. The lamps, as previously mentioned, are adjustable and can be moved around depending on the direction in which the light is desired. The metal shades come in a choice of either white or black (as shown in the photo).

The versatility and dynamic nature of the Treluci floor lamp means it can be utilized in a wide variety of different locations and settings. For the summer months it can be placed in one particular room in the home whilst in the darker months of winter it can be situated in another room which needs extra ambient and focused lighting. As art work, furniture or seasons change, the task lamps can be manoeuvred into different positions thereby completely transforming an interior setting with simple adjustments.

The umbrella floor lamp features a Lycra diffuser which spreads light to all areas of the photo-studio style lamp shade. This, combined with the long but sturdy iron base and trunk, leads to the effect of a light hovering in space when lit in a dimmed room. In many ways, as one can see from a picture on the product web page, the umbrella floor lamp is reminiscent of a jellyfish floating in the dark oceans, one often sees on nature documentaries. It’s a quality floor lamp and one that also has a full range dimmer.

The designer behind the umbrella floor lamp is as impressive in his creative scope as his lamp is in beauty and light. Pablo Pardo was born in Venezuela but then moved to the United States where he set up his own design company in 1993, aptly called ‘Pablo’. He’s a graduate of the renowned University of Cincinnati and has designed products for large and famous companies such as Fisher Price and Daimler Chrysler. As is so often the case with gifted designers, their creations span a large and diverse range of products.

Pablo Pardo’s Umbrella Floor Lamp is a lighting fixture for a contemporary interior. Its simplicity, elegance and modernist design means it will compliment and merge well with furniture and décor that are similar in scope, character and sophistication. Like a great painting, this umbrella floor lamp is meant to be enjoyed for its aesthetic qualities which will transfer through the medium of light, to the rest of the interior in which the lamp is located.

By the way, the diffusers can also be found in four other colors apart from the white which is shown in the image above. These colors include Silver, Plum, Black or Ice Blue.

The Marie Louise Lamp is a lighting fixture for artists and poets with its delicate yet profound beauty bringing words and images of creativity and wonder to the fore. Like a ghost or apparition, the ethereal lamp appears out of the darkness rendering the mind in awe of its unique construction and originality. In the picture above, the Marie Louise Lamp by Sander Mulder is shown with an amber light color yet the contemporary table lamp can also be found in 7 more varieties. These include: yellow, orange, purple, blue, pink, red, green.

The beautiful Marie Louise Lamp is made from PMMA sheets which have been illuminated with a special fluorescent bulb. PMMA is a shortened form of Poly(methyl methacrylate) which is basically a transparent thermoplastic. This is the same material that is used in the construction of spectator protection barriers in ice hockey as well as in motorcycle helmet visors and viewing ports in underwater submersibles. It’s also used in orthopaedic and dental surgery. However, for the Marie Louise Lamp, the PMMA’s ability to transmit up to 92% of visible light makes it a natural material for such a stunning and unique table lamp.

There’s also a second lamp shade alternative to the clear version seen in the first picture. In the image directly above you can see an engraved version which adds body to the shade area of the table lamp. The intricate engravings are highlighted by the illumination of the lamp and add an extra dimension and quality to the already beautiful Marie Louise Lamp designed by Sander Mulder.

A lamp of this quality and style can be placed in a variety of different interior settings. The Marie Louise Lamp is in the shape of a more traditional looking table lamp and can be used in much the same manner. That said, its modern character and unusual design means it can also be placed in locations a more regular lamp would not suite. For example, the Marie Louise Lamp can be placed on the floor of a minimalist style room or on an accent stool, end table or dining table.

The beauty and originality of the Marie Louise Lamp means it should be placed in a position where it can be most admired. This should be considered in relation to its form and function as a light source as well. It’s in the evening and a night time that the Marie Louise Lamp really comes into its own and thus it would be best suited in an interior where people group together most at these periods of the day. When the main ceiling lights are off and a few smaller lamps are turned on, this stunning Marie Louise Lamp with illuminated edges will become a focal point of the room where it is situated. It will certainly be a talking point and one to be admired each time it is turned on.

However, I think the shape and style is what makes the Iki Floor Lamp special and one that will suit a wide variety of contemporary interiors. The four legged floor lamp is made from a stainless steel mesh sprayed with pigmented silicone. Each piece is made individually by craftsmen in Spain who are hand-picked for their superior craftsmanship by Arturo Alvarez. Like with a great painting or sculpture, each Iki Floor Lamp is considered to be an individual and original work of art.

When lit, the dinosauresque floor lamp creates wonderful shadows which result from the natural wave effect of the lamp shade construction. The lamp’s length means the ends of the body remain partly in darkness which in turn creates a stunning and mysterious ambient lighting effect. Tripod-like legs made from stainless steel lend an animalistic style to the Iki floor lamp.

This floor lamp will suit all areas of the home but especially areas where it can be admired for long periods of time such as the living room or bedroom. There are four different colors in which this Iki Lamp is made and they include white, black, blue and orange. It cries out to be touched and thankfully, it doesn’t have teeth.

A special counterweight system is in play which allows for the over reaching arc of the Twiggy Lamp to remain in place. Not only this but the floor lamp can be adjusted to different heights depending on its use and location. The magic in all this and the testament to great design lies in its visual simplicity. This is furthered by the fact that the lamp is decorated in one single color.

The long and thin Twiggy floor lamp is fixed with an opaque diffuser which allows light to be focused both downwards and reflected up onto the ceiling. It’s both play full and serious in different ways and will compliment any type of interior in the home. This might include as an accent floor lamp in the main living room, next to a sofa or in a bedroom, home study or basement games room.

As I mentioned previously, I really like its sophisticated simplicity and the wonderfully long and thin curved arch of the Twiggy floor lamp’s stem. By the way, it also comes in black, white or yellow which might be more suitable for different décor schemes.

I’ve mentioned the Canadian designer Karim Rashid before on the website for his name is synonymous with contemporary and high-quality style. In many cases, his functional and holistic approach results in simple, elegant, highly functional and ergonomically sublime forms and products. Rashid’s material of choice is plastic and he was even named “the poet of plastic” by Time magazine in 2001.

This yellow blob floor lamp is typical of Rashid’s contemporary lighting design. Polypropylene is the material this lamp is made of and it comes in a choice of two colors, either yellow or white. The Foscarini Blob’s polypropylene make-up means the lamp is very lightweight whilst still being extremely durable, heat resistant and strong. It would take a very heavy boot with some force behind it to even make a dent in this material.

In fact, it’s so strong that you can actually sit on it and that has been taken into account during its design. On one part of the blob, there is a smooth section where a person can be seated quite comfortably.

The Blob floor lamp is a perfect lighting accessory for a modern interior space such as a living room, artist’s studio or social area. Guests are sure to be wowed by the stunning moulded body that is further highlighted by the light’s soft illumination during the evening and night time hours.

There are so many possible uses for such an original contemporary floor lamp. If you have a large bathroom with a lot of floor space, the blob lamp would add a stunning focus to the room as a whole. For a large hallway, Rashid’s lamp can be placed near the entrance door or near the stairs, thereby creating a wonderful welcoming glow and visual treat to visiting friends and family.

It’s not cheap. At the time of writing, this contemporary floor lamp was priced at $1,692. However, it’s design and quality is beyond question having been produced by the highly respected Foscarini Factory headquartered in Italy.
