Pia’s Picks: falling for oversized lamps
7.2.2024
Translation: Eva Francis
Oversized lamps light up your room and add character to your home.
The plaster floor lamps designed by Léa Mestres, for example, are so huge they’re taller than the French artist herself. Surprisingly, they look light as a feather in their pastel shades ranging from piggy pink to baby blue and lemon yellow.
The Column Lights produced by interior designer Eny Lee Parker also make my eyes light up. They’re so high they reach the ceiling in many apartments. I really like the soft shape of the New Yorker’s XXL lamp named Oo Lamp. It consists of a chunky ceramic base, brushed metal parts and a satin or glossy glass shade.
There are quite a few oversized designs in the Galaxus range, too. What I like most about them is that they stand out in photos without needing flashy patterns or bright colours. Their oversized shape radiates strength.
How best to integrate XXL lamps
The example of the Dou Floor Lamp designed by Ferm Living shows many different ways to make an oversized floor lamp part of your home. Add it to a reading or sofa corner or place it in front of an empty wall – there are no limits to your creativity. After all, an XXL lamp will never be overlooked.
In my Pia’s Picks series, I regularly showcase my favourite finds – things I might not need, but definitely want.
