Something between a solid statue and a slightly moving item, Tilt M and P table and floor lamps, designed by Spanish Victor Carrasco available at Lzf, have caught my attention.

Cylindrical bases are holding shades intentionally and discretely tilting to the one side. Having an unmistakable form, resembling an acquired pose, it is this very feature that totally fascinates me. The tilting shade introduces an element of movement which brings the whole design to life. What a charming play of volumes and light!

Last week I’ve stared at my living room and thought to myself it’s about time to buy some new items, this stuff needs to get out of here! And what better way to start decorating than with a new table lamp.

That’s why the unique design of the Take Lamp instantly caught my eye; first, its shape comes from combining two joined symmetrical parts: two flat, a rectangular and two- dimensional plates that each one of them assumes the shape and volume of a half-lamp; second, its complex luminous-crystalline light gives the room a cool vibe.

The Rook table lamp is one of the highlights of Blu Dot’s new collection of home furnishing. This unique lamp is a playful light fixture with a wide and chunky three-legged, solid walnut wood base with an off-white linen shade and a gray 80” cloth cord.

At first glance it looks very simple but the proportion of the stand and the play of the color contrast between the dark wood and the light shade give it a modern sleek look with a warm feel to it. The Rook has also a playful quality because you can place it on three legs with its shade pointed up, or balance it on a single edge with the shade cantilevered to the side.

I love the way certain elements complete each other, like wood and light for example; when put together they’re like yin and yang, presenting harmony and softness. The Stilt Lamp, from Blu Dot, has the same effect.

Whether as a floor lamp or a table lamp, this unique lighting fixture features slender Walnut veneer legs pirouette open to form a structural tripod base. A crisp white linen shade and a 80” red cloth-covered cord complete the entire picture-perfect combination, spreading soft light on a side table or in a corner of a room.
