Table Lamps
Table lamps serve primarily to generate illumination. Often, they are placed on the bed's side tables if not anywhere else in the house. Apart from providing reading light, they also account for nighttime luminescence. Different people employ different styles. Some choose pieces like Cauldron Table Lamp that are large and dimmable so as to use them for a diverse range of operations while others opt for small, composed fixtures such as Waterloo Table Lamp. Not utterly expressive in their design, they grant a simplified ambiance to your bedroom and that too, with weak light. But their execution is not just limited to the bedroom. For instance, they are conveniently placed on drawing room counters which are designed for buffets or as a drinks stand. Reading lamps have always been in fashion and you could use them to uplift the tempo of your space.

The Loma Table Lamp is a beautifully designed lamp by TY Best, featuring a burnished brass base and a French paper shade. The burnished brass finish gives the lamp a warm, vintage look, while the French paper shade adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Reprise Table is one of the newest pieces in Apparatus ACT FOUR Collection. Reminiscent of Joe Colombo KD27 Boom Microphones, from this globe wall fixture emits a subtle source of light, gracefully resting in a brass armature hand-wrapped in leather case.

Metronome Table Lamp by Gabriel Hendifar for Apparatus evokes the measure and balance of its namesake. A patinated brass sphere perches atop the conical base, which is hand wrapped in suede to provide a lush tactile contrast. A channel in the firmly grounded base reveals an intimate connection between the two forms.

Referencing traditional Middle Eastern jewelry while pushing it through a futurist lens, the translucent alabaster planes of the Median Table Lamps—a collection of wall lights by Apparatus—are intersected by a fluted brass form. The stone glows from a light source that remains hidden, illuminating the relationship between the solid and the permeable.

The slip-cast porcelain forms of the LANTERN floats along a rigid brass structure. Their glow is punctuated by finely incised fluting, connecting to the essential element of historical lanterns - light passing through a delicate protective form. Repeating spheres act as a counterpoint to the sizeable shades.

Mainkai, designed by Sebastian Herkner. Mainkai, or Main River Quay in English, is the riverside boulevard in Frankfurt, Germany, close to where designer Sebastian Herkner grew up and still calls home today. The spherical fishing floats and mooring buoys that bob along the river with an ethereal glow at night inspired the Mainkai's lamps' design.

Obj-03 is born from a sheet of paper, a gesture, a cut, and a fold. The cut, once folded, allows the sheet to stand on its own, without falling, and in turn serves as a screen to receive the light. The led stripe is hidden on the back and contained in a solid steel bar. The weight of this part is essential to give stability to the lamp. Thus, all the parts fulfill an indispensable function for the object. The idea was to design a lamp with the minimum possible elements and a single material, steel. The lamp is composed of a square of 18 gauge sheet metal and on its back, a solid machined steel bar that contains the led lighting. I decided to oxidize the entire lamp to make it matte so that the light reflection would be soft and diffused.

Parts of the legs were shaped to look like rock extending out of the earth while scarification detailing references a man-made object. The concealed light fitting in the clay body illuminates the sphere and gives the impression of an eye watching.

There is a monolithic quality to it due to its size and visual mass that anchors this collectible design body of work. The work is influenced by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi, and geological formations. The designs have evolved into functional art and sculptural furniture expressed mainly through ceramics and gypsum

A mouth-blown opaline sphere rests on a solid brass bar, evoking a play of balance and stillness. The idea of a movement caught in a second of suspension is a recurring theme in Michael Anastassiades’ designs, which often trigger the imagination of the viewers, offering them a playful yet meditative moment of contemplation.

The Onyx Light is carved from a single block of onyx, carefully selected for its transparency and veins. There are about 20 pieces that come out of a single block, with each batch bearing similarities in terms of character and colour. Each Onyx Light series is a unique edition, created when we are lucky enough to find blocks of onyx that carry the necessary qualities.

Tip of the Tongue consists of a table lamp, wall and ceiling-mounted sconce, all which feature an interesting illusion: a luminous mouth-blown opaline sphere appears to roll down the edge of a solid polished brass base. This delicate gesture of a sphere poised on the edge of the surface evokes the familiar phenomenon of failing to retrieve a word from memory, expressing a moment of tension in the form of the design.
