TOP 5: Chase away the dark – the most inspiring new products of the month

Day by day, the growing light brings hope that winter won’t last forever. And now, you can give spring a little boost! We’ve handpicked five fresh lighting designs from our collection to make the darkness nothing but a distant memory.

The Hoop table lamp pairs a robust base with a lightweight shade, creating a perfect balance of strength and elegance.

Finnish pine in spotlight

In Vaarnii’s furniture, Finnish pine takes its well-deserved place in the spotlight. With the Hoop table lamp, British designer John Tree elevates it further when he showcases the material in two distinct forms: solid and veneered. The result is a perfect balance of lightness and strength, familiarity and novelty – warm, inviting, and effortlessly timeless at the same time.

The Cho floor lamp charms with its sculptural elegance.

Poetic simplicity

Our newest brand, Motarasu, blends the best of Scandinavian and Japanese design. Among its standout pieces is the Cho lamp, designed by Danish design duo Ernst & Jensen, featuring a delicate, sculptural form inspired by one very familiar winged creature.

The lamp’s airy shade opens in two directions much like a butterfly’s wings, casting a soft and calming light around it. A black steel frame provides a bold contrast to an otherwise gentle and soothing presence. Available in both floor and table versions, the Cho lamp brings a harmonious balance of lightness and structure to any space.

The Tip of the Tongue lamp’s glass shade appears to be on the verge of slipping off its gleaming brass base –just like something on the tip of the tongue, as its playful name implies.

The beauty of balance

Designed by Michael Anastassiades and made by his eponymous studio, the Tip of the Tongue lamp is a study of balance and elegance. The luminaire consists of a luminous opal glass sphere that rests effortlessly atop a gleaming brass base, diffusing a soft and inviting glow. Even when unlit, the sculptural, jewelry-like lamp remains undeniably striking.

The radiant piece is extremely versatile as it can be mounted on either the wall or ceiling either as a singular statement or arranged in a cluster of multiple luminaires.

The Yo table lamp is available in two different sizes to suit all your outdoor space needs.

The friendly giant

As summer starts knocking on the door (slowly but surely, we promise!), it’s time to think about outdoor lighting. Year after year, weather-resistant portable lamps remain the perfect choice for that job.

This season, brighten up your garden or terrace with the newest release from Normann Copenhagen: the Yo table lamp. Made from durable plastic and designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this powerful lamp provides up to 80 hours of light. And when it finally dims, it’s probably a sign to call it a night!

Let's swing again

Another standout in the world of rechargeable lamps is this portable and versatile warrior of light that has certainly earned its place.

Fermob's portable Swiing table lamp delights with its playful, retro-inspired design and various vibrant colors but the biggest surprise lies in its operation. The wireless lamp features a clever tilt switch that turns it on and off simply by tilting it either left or right. Perhaps that’s where its charming, smile-inducing name comes from – let's Swiing!
