Pendant lamps with fans, sconces with no wiring – these fixtures by Danese, Fontana Arte, Light Years and more make for brilliant showpieces in any home.

Ross Lovegrove’s LED suspension light cleverly incorporates a fan (with minimum energy input) that regulates air quality in a small area, while a touch dimmer located on the fixture controls its illumination. 100% Fluid can also be reoriented to work as a task lamp, offering direct and indirect lighting at the same time.

2 Manta by Fontana Arte
Manta beautifully solves the problem of having no available wiring, allowing the wall or ceiling (or floor) fixtures to be installed almost anywhere.
