Woody, that bronze Laurel lam...
Woody, that bronze Laurel lamp is to die for ! I have never seen one like that before. I don't think they are around here (europe) that much, you lucky americans. It looks amazing !
Gustaf, that black floor lamp is another beauty, do you have any info on it ? The black organic shade reminds me of Serge Mouille, but the unusual small holes in the shade form such a lovely detail. Do you know if it's by him ? it's a superb lighting sculpture either way.
Thanks all
trittium, thanks for the chair info. Very nice! I have to research it.
woodywood, so they say, but I am yet to find an exact match. Haven't tried that many tough, so there is still hope. But there's also the form factor. Most look hideous, either in terms of their shape, or, for the few that get the pear shape right, in translucence and finish. Plus they need time to reach full intensity. Having said this, I know I am only postponing the inevitable.
Alexander, no problem. I was just curious because I know your taste is impeccable! Sounds great from your description though. I really like the Tom Dixon lights. One of my favorite contemporary designers.
Erik, sounds great. I hope you remember this thread when your lamp arrives 🙂
uwe, very nice. Even the Ikea lamp looks good. I am afraid I can't help with the identification. I do not think it is a Fog & Morup though (a guess posted in your thread). Like Nick, I love that Colombo lamp!
ite, thanks. That Vico Magistretti light (I don't remember its name) is my favourite of the three you posted. Your home also looks great, and filled with natural light. During winter, I only get to see natural light in my apartment over the weekends. It's dark when I go to work, and dark when I go home... a situation probably similar to what Poul Henningsen experienced on his way home from work when he realised that the Danes needed better lamps! So I think you have a point about the dark weather playing an important part in the process.
Zanone, that is fantastic. I agree that it seems to transcend different styles. Captivating! Probably my favorite of the ones you posted.
ite, to answer your second post, it is not a Serge Mouille. I wish it was. But you have a good eye. It's actually "in the manner of Serge Mouille", which is more obvious in the photo below. I like it a lot, and think it's different enough not to be considered a knock off. I would prefer a Serge of course, but even the reeditions are way over my budget.
Bario, thanks. Lovely rooms. A lamp thread can't have too many Italians! I wonder if yours is the first Achille Castiglioni lamp posted in this thread? I have to go back and check. If yes, I'm surprised it took this long. Also great to see the Tizio in situ! I think it's koen's favourite lamp, which says a lot.
Edit: Replaced the image.
Thanks for contributing
DudeDah, love them. You're lucky to have had that beautiful sconce come with the house. Great to see that it's been taken care of. Love that Laurel. And whoa, that's a huge Tolomeo!
visiona, very sweet lamps. That shade color does indeed look capable of casting a very pleasant glow. And how great that the last one is ceramic. Fantastic shape and choice of materials. A great set.
nike, thanks for your input but I wanted this thread to showcase lamps that the forum members own. Lamps we wish we had is probably a very different story. Please consider replacing your photos with one of your own lamp. I for one find it much more rewarding to see an object in use in someone's home than ever so perfectly captured in a commercial shot.
Love all the lamps...
and here's my favorite which hangs in the dining room - a 50's Poul Henningsen that I came upon quite by accident in a local consignment shop - with all the original papers & sticker, and seemingly never used before. The triple red reflections at night on the ceiling are wonderful!
