Bedside Table Lamps: Organic v. Glamorous

Natalia Miyar says: “Tactility is important to me and I love to play with materials and textures, juxtaposing them in interesting ways. I like the contrast of, say, metal and timber or linen and velvet, pairing a lamp base with a lamp shade you wouldn’t initially think of as I did in this project is a great way to make your lamp individual and personal within a room.

Laura Hammett says: “We don’t like to repeat our lamps too often given the number of projects we design. We want our clients to feel like they’re getting a bespoke service, so we are always on the hunt for new and unique pieces. However, I do have a preference for sculptural looking bases, generally. For example, the glass lamps we use are all handmade so naturally no two will ever be exactly the same. This is particularly evident in the pieces that have been twisted and contain these bubbles inside them (a glassmaking technique called pulegoso).

I think with lamps it’s almost treating them a bit like the jewellery of an interior. You’ve got your furniture, you’ve got your fabrics and then you dress it up with something a little special.”
