Wever and Ducre From the Rock collection, this floor lamp stuns with its geometrical anatomy in stone and birch plywood. Website: www.weverducre.com2. Diesel Living and Foscarini Pipe is clad in unrefined linen, so its output is warm and diffused. Available in two versions and colours. Website: www.foscarini.com/diesel3. LladroEach handcrafted porcelain fixture from the Mademoiselle line literally takes shape of the voluminous, opulent outfits of 16th century women. Website: www.lladro.com4. Luceplan Crafted to look like a wine goblet, Mesh by Argentine Francisco Gomez Paz consists of tiny LEDs connected with a maze of metal cables. The lightweight creation lets you control its intensity and illumination. Website: www.luceplan.com5. La MurrinaBalloton is a bulbous glass creation with a simple silhouette inspired by the outline of classic chandeliers.Website: www.lamurrina.com6. SelettiTwist lamp doesn’t venture far away from the brand’s signature eclecticism.
