This week's exemplary illuminations include Inga Sempé’s charming shaded 'Sempé w103' table lamp for Sweden’s Wästberg, Omer Arbel’s blown glass '28d' sphere for Canadian specialists Bocci, Nendo’s pinched 'Press Lamp', in clear or smoke, for Bohemian glass maker Lasvit or Mark Holmes’s pared down, barely there, 'Neon' table light, in folded steel for London’s Minimalux. For something more classic there is the Anglepoise 'Original 1227 Desk Lamp', below, and from Brazil’s Objekto, Mauricio Klabin’s 1982 'Eclipse' lamp, above.
