Lighting is essential when designing an industrial, office, or residential setting. Placement, style, and material, play an important role when creating a particular atmosphere. This week we bring you five suspension lights suited for a variety of interiors, functional sculptures to light up your space. FORMAKAMI Jaime Hayon Drawing inspiration from traditional Asian lanterns, this pendant lamp by Jaime Hayon blends East and West with its contemporary interpretation. Recognizing the important role of illumination in people's lives, Hayon looked to encapsulate the emotional essence present when lighting up the darkness. Hand-made from rice paper and black stained oak, the Formakami features an open bottom to maximize light projection. Available in three different shapes.  TAPER Douglas Fanning The Taper Series consists of a slender steel armature that houses a refined LED light source. Hand-milled and pieced together from beginning to end by Douglas Fanning at his studio-workshop in Brooklyn, this gracefully suspended light is available as a single, double, or triple tier. Exuding a strong, masculine energy, the Taper's singular blade appears to float in space. Casting light upwards in addition to the direct downward LED light source, Fanning's piece adds a distinct ambiance to any interior.   SOFTSPOT Giopato & Coombes Intricately crafted, yet aesthetically simple, the Softspot features a compact cylinder with a particular self-locking mechanism, eliminating the need for visible screws in its structure. Ideal for a minimalist lighting task over a work station or a bar, custom-designed by Giopato & Coombes, this piece includes a double-sided LED bulb, allowing for direct and indirect lighting. Available in brushed brass, brushed nickel, brushed bronze, or blackened brass finish.  BLOSSI 8 Sofie Refer Refer's Blossi chandelier is a statement piece unlike any other. This sleek, golden design, evokes an undeniable warmth through the contrast of glass against metal. Resembling the shape of water lilies, the mouth blown shades of the Blossi cast a soft, illuminating glow, creating a distinct ambient tone. Suited for residential and public spaces alike, the Blossi collection also includes a single pendant, floor lamp, table lamp, and a wall sconce. MOBILE Douglas Fanning The Mobile series is a revolution in linear light. This architectural, hand-milled piece can achieve limitless configurations. Available as a single, double, or triple tier, the blades of the Mobile may be rotated a 3/4 turn. Designed and built by Fanning from scratch in his studio workshop, the hand-carved blades in this piece house multi-drectional LED lighting. Fanning's designs can be further customized in size, drop height, and configuration upon request.
