Six Lights to Beat the Winter Blues
As winter days shorten and afternoons grow dim, many turn to the warm glow of table, desk, or bedside lamps for comfort. These compact lights help chase away seasonal gloom, blending function with expressive design.
Illuminating Design and Timeless Appeal
The latest lamp collections combine modern creativity with classic influences. Some are fresh concepts from today’s designers, while others revive iconic pieces from past legends, offering both nostalgia and innovation.
The KD28: A Revival of Italian Optimism
Designer Joe Colombo’s work stands out for its vibrant, optimistic spirit and practical elegance. His KD28 lamp, originally released in 1967, returns in an updated version true to its historic form.
This new model uses recycled materials and features a softly treated shade that diffuses a gentle, warm light. Its color range caters to expressive tastes: Bordeaux, Woodland Green, Dove Grey, Orange, Petroleum, Mustard, Black, and White. A textile-covered cable in matching tones completes the design.
“The KD28 lamp was first launched in 1967, and this new iteration is faithful to the original form, updated with recycled materials and a shade finished with a treatment that contributes to creating a warm light.”
Vaarnii: Reinventing Pine for Modern Living
Since its 2022 debut, Finnish brand Vaarnii has become a name to watch in contemporary furniture and lighting. It began with simple pine wood pieces, later expanding into outdoor design and atmospheric lighting.
“Working predominantly in pine wood, ‘the perennial underdog,’ co-founder Antti Hirvonen told us.”
The company’s commitment to honest materials and craftsmanship reflects a design philosophy rooted in authenticity and resilience, bringing warmth to any winter interior.
