Lighting which scores high on style and function

Madre is a lamp, vase and elegant sculpture roll into one. The upper hollow of the large luminous body of Madre contains a vase in frosted borosilicate glass, while the opening at the centre creates depth, making light reflect even when the lamp is off. Inquire at Xtra.

Palomar floor lamp by Foscarini offers two different types of lighting, with two separate controls: intense light aimed at the ceiling, and softer light sent downward, spreading through the cylinders that form the base of the lamp. Enquire at Xtra.

Like its namesake that demolishes the old to make way for the new, the Wrecking Ball suspension lamp by Diesel with Foscarini is arrestingly anarchic. When off, the lamp looks like pure metal. The glass sphere turns into a lamp and into light when lit: it score lights up and makes the bulb and the reflection visible. Inquire at Xtra.

The new Perch Light Branch by Umut Yama is smaller yet elegant with origami-like birds once again perched upon a golden twig carrying only three birds. A suspended light that adds a playful touch despite its size and remains the centre of attention. Enquire at Moooi.

A classic revitalised, the new Fork Light floorlamp by Diesel with Foscarini is an easy aversion with simplified fabric and structure in ivory, cement grey, beige and burgundy. Inquire at Xtra.

Belle de jour floorlamp asserts its presence in space in a discreet and delicate way. The lamp, lighting up like a projector, has an almost theatrical impact. The staging becomes even more intimate thanks to the elastic fabric covering: white, thin, semi-transparent, with a slight texture on the outer part. Inquire at Xtra.

Formidable in its simplicity, the Opal Arc LED Floorlamp by Tom Dixon casts a soft glow through a shatterproof polymer globe – making the lamp a great addition to any space. Enquire at Tom Dixon.

Already striking when it is off, UpTown by Foscarini becomes the absolute protagonist of any space when it is on. The light source is hidden in the base. When lit, the panels are filled with colour basked in an Art Deco-esque glow. Enquire at Xtra.

Spring is a series of three pendant lamps made up of stainless-steel strips arranged like a whisk around custom-made Tom Dixon LED disc. The semi-transparent shape is adjustable to a variety of silhouettes - from a flat arrangement reminiscent of a spirograph drawing, to a flying saucer configuration and on to a fuller shape akin to a pumpkin. Enquire at Tom Dixon.
