Designer lighting: 4 stylish Christmas gift ideas for your nearest and dearest
It goes without saying that any gift, whether for Christmas, birthday or other occasion, should, first and foremost, suit the taste, style and lifestyle of the recipient. Thinking about this, and knowing their home, you will also need to think about which of the main 4 types of lighting solutions is most likely to be appreciated:
- Floor lamp
- Ceiling light
- Table lamp
- Reading lamp
Each of these is a perfect alternative to the banal, unoriginal or downright inappropriate gifts that all too often we end up foisting upon our friends and relatives. The important thing is always to opt for quality and where better to start than with a Made in Italy lamp or light fitting?
In summary, if you are looking for stylish and original Christmas gift ideas, any of these four types of lights ticks all the right boxes. Then, it’s simply a matter of deciding on the model that best reflects the taste of the lucky person who will unwrap it. Here are four inspiring examples to help you choose.
Urano floor lamp
The Urano floor lamp is a jewel of an example of this category. Carved from a single block of gorgeous white Bianco Carrara marble, it is honed to wafer-thin thickness, with its rim so fine as to be almost transparent. The result is an almost ethereal appearance, resembling a luminous celestial body with a serene, calming presence.
Farfalla designer ceiling light
The Farfalla ceiling light is contemporary yet timeless, perfect for that person who appreciates elegant, pared-back design. A slender rod of delicate Bianco Carrara marble is suspended from the ceiling by the thinnest of wires so that it flutters almost as though it were a butterfly. Whether installed in a single piece or as a composition of varying heights, it lends a sense of lightness to any space.
Urano 30 table lamp
If you have decided upon a table lamp as a Christmas gift, you will find it hard to go past our Urano lamp in its 30-cm diameter version. Like its bigger sibling, it is a perfect sphere of cool white marble that emanates a beautiful soft glow when turned on. Also available in a smaller option, suitable for the bedside cabinet, Urano is not only a functional object but also a miniature sculpture, whichever size you choose.
Silo designer reading light
Lastly, if you know someone who loves nothing more than to retreat to a cosy snug with a good book, our Silo pendant light is the perfect gift. A deceptively simple cylinder of white marble or luxurious brown Pietra d’Avola limestone, it adds a deft modern touch to a reading corner, providing the necessary light and creating an intimate atmosphere.
