Murano glass, Limoges porcelain and futuristic designs show the many applications of the right lighting in the right place
Flared table lamp
Mud Australia
‘Oh my God, you’ve got a Mud Flared lamp!’
‘Gorgeous, isn’t it? Handmade in Limoges porcelain, so delicate – and I love how the light’s right down in the base so it’s got this lovely restful glow. Hang on – I thought you bought one?’
‘Well, I ordered one – paid the duty bringing it in from Australia, but ended up in the hands of notorious couriers who, after numerous delivery “attempts”, lobbed it over the fence into the rockery and smashed it!’
‘But babe! They’ve got a shop in Marylebone! I bought it on impulse!’
Flex LED light strips
Knightsbridge
‘Mummy, I’m scared! The lights keep coming on and going funny!’
‘I know, sweetie. It’s the tiny slim colour-change RGBW LED strips the man fitted in special secret places while you were at school. We thought our cool grown-up “Pineapple party” setting would remain a secret until you were older. We’ve only ever had it on warm white “Family time” while you’ve been down here having your cocoa.
‘Now look, darling, you’re going to have to be brave. Daddy lost his phone at the pub on the corner. And some naughty person has obviously found it!’
Matégot Baghdad portable lamp
GUBI
‘With his colour and all, I always thought daddy would get to be the moon...’
‘It’s good to finally meet him...’
‘Too right – especially as he’s only just made it big time and is about to get fixed permanently to a wall.’
‘It’s amazing to finally meet you two, as well. When the results came back that I was an LED Rigitulle Icosahedron, I finally understood my 20 faces, and why I was charging in three hours, then blazing for eight – why I kept dimming, and going on and off when anyone touched my bally button, you know…’
Floyd series Murano lighting
Henge with Venini
Peeps! Frederick IV of Denmark here, amped to order one of your latest Murano chandeliers! I do like to stay down, which is why I’ve been stanning your craft glass right from back when I was alive and everything.
Yeah, still got the first one ever, hanging in my palace since 1709, but bruh’, times change so I’m switching up my look, ya vibing? Gunna flex the Floyd fire! I’ll trade in the bougie old one, and I’ll take that muths’ pendant, the wall lights and floor lamps. Electric, you say? Well, that’s bussin’ current!
