Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Habitus Loves… Table Lamps

This week we get studying with 8 of our favourite table and desk lamps, from the playful, to the elegant, to the downright cool! Enjoy.


 

Bague Piccola

 


Designed by:
Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto for Foscarini

Why we love it: Ok, well… one or more of us might be an Apple fan, and this reminds us a lot of the Mac Pro casing. But as an object, it’s sleek, refined and modern. Love10

Where you can get it:

Space Furniture

 

Anglepoise Fifty

title 

 

Designed by: Anthony Dickens

Why we love it: What isn’t to love? This table lamp looks like a chocolate mould and deconstructs the classic desk light with it’s ‘two-face’ form.

Where you can get it:

Corporate Culture

 

Orchid

title 

 

Designed by: Marc Pascal

Why we love it: Although made with polycarbonate, the forms of Pascal’s Orchid light feel very organic. The light is far from a static table lamp – tactile and a real centrepiece.

Where you can get it:

M2 Products – various stockists
 

Twiggy Tavolo

title 

Designed by: Marc Sadler

Why we love it: This is simple, elegant and looks like a bluebell heavy with morning dew (poetic huh?). We can’t really think of anywhere this wouldn’t work.

Where you can get it:

Space Furniture

 

Alchemy

Designed by: Arik Levy for Tronconi

Why we love it: What can we say? This has to be the perfect gift for any studious chemist. This is such a fun, playful, yet graceful design with satin-nickel-finished metal the light has a glass diffuser with tiny glass spheres.

Where you can get it:

Core Furniture

Air lamp

title 

 

Designed by: Ray Power for LZF

Why we love it: It’s hard to believe this light is made from one single sheet of Polywood®, but it is. Simple in form, minimal materials, curvy – what more coud you want? Oh, yeah, it comes in 8 different colours.

Where you can get it:

KEZU

Table Jewellery

title 

 

Designed by: Volker Haug

Why we love it: We love Volker’s mischievous, charismatic lights. This table lamp has a form made of a single bent length of bronzed brass for an industrial feel. It’s a bit like a black piece of neon tubing – so cool.

Studioilse w084t

title 


Designed by: Ilse Crawford

Why we love it: For those who want something simple, functional, yet stylish – this is the lamp for you. It’s got a playful aesthetic with the honesty and warmth of wood.

Where you can get it:

Corporate Culture
