Industrial Wire Cage Lamps

I love it when I spot beautifully styled interiors with a few Industrial Vintage details. 

Even the most modern of the homes can be enriched with a few pieces from another era.

Some of my favourite pieces are these Industrial Wire Cage Lamps, they look great everywhere!

So here's a little round-up, hoping it will inspire you.

The Wood Lamp - Scandinavian Lighting

image via Muuto

Today I'm sharing the Wood Lamp from Muuto. A desk lamp made of pine wood with a rubber cord, in green or white, that represents to it's designers team, TAF Architects:

"...a low-tech antidote to the usually very modern work desk lamps. 

All of the details are pragmatically chosen with every screw visible. 

The wooden lamp gets a lot of personality with the most simple methods.”

The Edit Lamp - Scandinavian Lighting

I saw this lamp on Emmas design blog a few days ago, and it immediately got my attention. The creation of the Edit lamp, by Joanna Laajisto, came from the necessity of having a small and simple pendant to suit her interior architecture projects. But the process of design, to achieve the desired aesthetics - clean but interesting, modern and classic, demanded many hours of revising and editing, and thus the name "Edit". The lamp can be used as a pendant or attached to a wall fixture, and in three versions: all black, steel/black and brass/black.

“The idea that the light could be fixed to the wall was especially intriguing to me. Wall lamps create a very special ambience” 

- Joanna Laajisto -

I personally love the all black on the wall. It reminds me of an old street lamp which, not notwithstanding it's minimalistic lines, still evokes a romantic and poetic atmosphere.

Ice Chandelier - Scandinavian Lighting

The Ice Chandelier was designed by Sofie Refer in 2007 and relaunched this year by &Tradition. 

This modular pendent, of mouth-blown glass, combines the tradition of the grand glass chandeliers and a  modern approach and expression. 

Scandinavian style in it's most elegant and sensual form, as can be attested on the wonderfully styled photos below.

Milk Lamp - Scandinavian Lighting

The Milk lamp belongs to the &Tradition collection and was created by the Danish multidisciplinary design studio NORM. It's made of white translucent glass, acrylic and oak and it was inspired by the traditional stools Nordic farmers use for milking (thus it's name). The legs can be of untreated oak or black. And the cord can be either white or black.

Bulb fiction - Scandinavian Lighting

Because I love their lamps and also their catalogue's styling, today's Scandinavian Lightning is, once again, from the Danish company Lightyears.

It wins me over by being all white...and I really like to see several of them clustered at different heights.

To continue with my series of posts on Scandinavian lighting, I give you the Calabash pendant by the Danish atelier Komplot Design for Lightyears in 2010.

Caravaggio - Scandinavian Lighting

The Caravaggio by Danish designer Cecilie Manz in 2005 for Lightyears.

Quickly became a favourite of lighting design, and it remains so by frequently changing it's look when adding new finishes to it's timeless design.

Night Stand Inspiration

Reading in bed, before falling asleep, is a ritual I have since I first learned how to read. I have some problems with sleep, actually, and reading helps me to shut my brain down and slowly pass into the land of dreams. If I skip that step I seriously risk being awake all night (mostly thinking about ideas for new posts!). My ideal bedroom is white (grey is also acceptable) and empty but two things must be present: a place to put my book down when I close it half asleep, and a soft light I can turn of without having to get out of bed. 

Today's post is inspired by this reading ritual and I focused on some great ideas for an original night stand combined with working place type lamps.
