Statement Light Fixtures that Create the “Wow” Factor

There are many different ways you can create the “wow” factor in your home. Statement light fixtures are like that perfect piece of jewellery that can pull an entire space together. It’s that extra bit of “wow” that can brighten up the design and give it some extra flair.

Luceplan's Hope lighting series represents the quintessence of the decorative lamp. Created as a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic chandelier, whose crystals are transformed into petals

We're glad to share these pictures with a stunning selection of Hope lights in a beautiful forest residence.

Breathtaking views to wish you all a relaxing weekend!

Akari Light Sculptures at the beautiful lobby of SHIKI Niseko Serviced Residences

One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Akari Light Sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are considered icons of 1950s modern design. Designed by Noguchi beginning in 1951 and handmade for a half century by the original manufacturer in Gifu, Japan, the paper lanterns are a harmonious blend of Japanese handcraft and modernist form. The ceiling shades are made of handmade washi paper and bamboo ribbing. With the warm glow of light cast through hand-made paper on a bamboo frame, Isamu Noguchi utilized traditional Japanese materials to bring modern design to the home.

FLOS CHASEN PENDANT

Chasen is an ingenious suspension light designed by Patricia Urquiolar forFLOS. A highly original design,"Chasen takes its inspiration from an ancient oriental instrument, the traditional bamboo whip used during the tea ceremony, whose delicate filaments continue to change shape.” Patricia Urquiola

Chasen can be adjusted to both alter the shape and the level of light emitted by way of a mechanical movement which opens the louvres.
Made from a chemically treated photo-etched stainless steel body and an internal borosilicate diffuser it comes with a 370cm steel cable support and 18cm diameter ceiling rose and comes in black or white.

Foscarini Big Bang Suspension Light

The apparently casual pattern with which the composition of irregular planes creates a volume around the light source, determines the dynamic character of Foscarini Big Bang's exuberant personality. A powerfully structural luminous body, characterised by a play of shadow and light, with great visual impact yet airy in appearance, it is ideal for personalising rooms in any style, even when used alone. It provides an intense, vivid and direct light. The panels that compose the lamp and function as translucent diffusers are made out of methacrylate. Designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez.

Flos OK Lamp

The OK Lamp is the design vision of Konstantin Grcic for FLOS. An updated version of Castiglioni's iconic Parentesi lamp, it tells a story of design evolution.

OK pays homage to an icon of Italian industrial design. It redesigns the original light bulb as an ultra-flat LED light source with edge-lighting technology, directable over 360 degrees. "A light-emitting disk. A sun hanging from a wire." Both describe the OK, a multi functional lamp comprising a flat LED disc that moves vertically, sliding up and down on a ceiling to floor tensioned steel cable (up to 4 metres long). The flat disk rotates 360 degrees allowing the light to be fixed at whatever height is required and directed at whatever you want to illuminate, ideal for task lighting. The formerly cylindrical weight has been substituted by an easier-to-install cone shape. Only the small ceiling rose, designed by Achille Castiglioni, has remained identical: a beautifully shaped piece of spun metal that houses the electronic components and a soft-touch switch.
