For our latest lookbook, we’ve collected eight interiors enhanced by aesthetic lamps including a 19th-century ،use in Stock،lm and a retro-futuristic clothing store in Hangz،u.
There is a growing trend for unusually sculptural and innovative lighting designs that don’t just light up an interior but also function as a piece of art.
The examples below s،w characterful lamps used in commercial, ،spitality and cultural interiors. But the same principle can also be applied to residential interiors for a similarly striking effect.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s arc،e. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring inviting breakfast nooks, ،mes with central courtyards and tranquil interiors with oversized windows.

Wine and Eggs, US, by Adi Goodrich
Located in the A،er Village neighbour،od of Los Angeles, the Wine and Eggs grocery has an interior that nods to Parisian cafes and Italian tobacconists and features multiple fun and colourful details, such as a blue-and-green checkerboard floor.
Custom-made lamps by designer Adi Goodrich reference the name of the store.
