Our favourite design is the Lotus lampshade in black here or cream here, which was shortlisted for the Elle Decoration Awards.

The Lotus folding lampshade is made from one sheet of fabric and was inspired by the Japanese art of origami, the shade forms and supports its own shape without the need for a rigid support frame.

The other very noticeable and striking lighting design is the Spaghetti Princess Chandelierin black here)
Spaghetti Princess Chandelier by Brendan Young













Designed by Brendan Young, the inspiration for the Spaghetti Princess Chandelier came from the beautiful chandeliers of the 17th century. Young tried to capture an essence of their silhouette and continuous movement using the electric flex itself. By drooping and looping the cables through a transparent disc of plexiglas the cables themselves give it form.
