Baltra Lantern Vloerlamp van Kickie Chudikova in Carbon, 68 cm hoog

The ovoid silhouette is such a clever take on a floor light—it draws the eye without shouting. At 27 inches tall, it fits neatly beside my armchair without looming, and the carbon finish has a subtle sheen that catches evening light beautifully.

The carbon finish looks almost molten in the evening, and the 27-inch height puts the light at the perfect level for reading. It’s genuinely a piece of sculpture that happens to glow, which is exactly what I hoped for.

The egg-like silhouette casts this incredible oval glow that shifts as you move around it, and at 27 inches it's the perfect height for tucking next to the sofa. It's genuinely more sculptural than any light I've owned, like a little art piece that happens to illuminate the room.
