OHAD BENIT STRESS LIGHTS

These are handmade lights by Israeli designer Ohad Benit, which mimic the shapes of soap bubbles being formed. Each item in the collection, named Stress to reflect the tension between the brass rings that hold the mouth-blown bubble glass shapes, is striking. They come in a range of sizes, each supported by a solid-brass tripod frame. These will cost you £800.

ILIA POTEMINE ISP LAMP

As much an objet d’art as a means of illumination, this elegantly proportioned lamp, designed for DCW éditions, is made using highly polished brass and mounted on a solid-marble plinth. There is nothing as predictable as an exposed filament bulb here – the LED light is concealed inside a 37cm tube, which you need to pull from inside the brass cylinder. The effect – part lightsaber, part luxury miner’s lamp – is guaranteed to command attention. With a price tag of £1,085.

SABINE MARCELIS VOIE

This Dutch designer’s lighting collection combines an elegant neon bulb set in a cast polyester-resin base. It’s the result of an investigation into the manipulation of light paths. While the top half of the bulb illuminates the room, the vibrancy at the bottom is muted, but visible. This allows it to enhance the material’s colour from within. Handmade to order. From €1,400.

UK-based onedesign-space, founded by Dessislava Madanska, has developed this interactive concept piece, which allows you to play with color. It’s based around a single orb of white light, and a rich palette can be created by manipulating a series of geometric colour-dyed shapes across the surface. This concept piece comes in £940.

BENEDETTA TAGLIABUE DOME 180

Designed for Bover, this complex and strangely captivating ceiling light is constructed from hand-cut pieces of wood. This example was assembled from more than 170 segments of beech veneer, which were individually sewn together to create a spectacular 183.5cm-diameter chandelier. An LED bulb is positioned away from the body, ensuring that an intricate pattern of light and shade is cast across everything that falls into its path. Smaller versions (90cm and 60cm) are also available. With a price tag of €10,296.
