Desirable Lamps

A lamp is a bit like a good friend: it knows when to stay in the background, and when to shine. Opaline mushrooms, curvaceous ceramic bases, pleated shades or brass silhouettes standing poker-straight: here are the most desirable lamps of the moment. The ones you switch on to see clearly, and leave on for the pleasure of looking at them. Fair warning: even switched off, they turn heads.
