La Belle Durmiente by Santa & Cole

Originally designed in 1985 by Santa & Cole co-founders Gabriel Ordeig Cole and Nina Masó, La Bella Durmiente showcases a captivating contrast of warm and cool colours influenced by the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. The totemic floor lamp was recently updated with LED technology replacing the fluorescent light source.

Twist by HAY

Twist’s ingenuity is twofold: Its aluminum body is height-adjustable up to two metres, and the upward-facing light’s distribution field shrinks or expands accordingly. Each positioning of this floor lamp from Hay, by French designer Romain Sillon, creates different levels of ambiance, from direct and focused to atmospheric.

741HZ by Sebastián Ángeles

With his limited-edition Frequency 2.0 series, Mexican industrial designer Sebastián Ángeles translates sound frequencies associated with healing into physical cast-bronze objects: two chairs, a side table and the floor lamp shown. Walking the line between collectible and functional, 741HZ (the hertz level linked to cleansing and emotional stability) conceals its light source under its conical shade, which diffuses a warm glow along the polished body.

Contour by A-N-D

Combining a sinuous and refined diffuser with a super-slender aluminum stem, the Contour lamp by Lukas Peet for A-N-D is a study in restraint. With no obvious connection points, the shapely glass shade has a subdued presence that is enlivened by the glow emitted through its etched citrine (shown), slate or glassy pearl diffuser. The Contour series also includes a pendant and a ceiling/wall fixture.
