IL FANALE is an Italian Lighting Manufacturer, specialising in iron, copper and brass lighting fittings both for indoor and outdoor. The metals they use to create their lamps are subjected to a special treatment of accelerated oxidation that gives a gloss of aging, which refers to as "antique" look. This special process allows each material to acquire well-defined characteristics. The brass takes on a forest green color, copper acquires a reddish while the iron rusts the tone of its original colour. The post-processing treatments and procedures that are used to reach the final product comply with traditional methods belonging to the family and passed on until now.

Another brand, which we found quite interesting was a Swedish Manufacturer - Ã–rsjö. They do similar to Angelepoise industrial looking table lamps, as well as simple designs with small spotlights. Their finishes vary from white, black, brushed gold to some coloured ones. Good company to keep in mind.

Being both motionless and emotionless, grey is solid and stable, creating a sense of calm and composure, relief from a chaotic world. Grey colour works good for a neutral kitchen schemes, as it gives a bit more than just a plain white lacquered finish, but at the same time remains well-balanced and not too bold. Grey kitchens could be mixed with colourful accessories or furniture items in order to bring a bit of interest and playfulness to the space.

Lighting can really transform and enhance the mood of the house, as our perception of the space truly depends on it. By installing different light fixtures you can achieve a great "wow" effect as well as personalise your apartment. You will need to consider size, style and design of the room to choose the right lights which would correspond it perfectly.

For some areas you will be required to install safety lights. The good example of such a place is a stairway. It is recommended to have light running all the way from the top to bottom with switches at both ends. Floor lighting effect running to the entire length of the staircase with ambient effect could help to make the staircase both safe and stylish.



Such areas as kitchen, bathrooms and study room will need some sort of task lighting. Task lighting is a direct light which focuses on a small specific area. LED lighting strip or spotlights would work perfect under the kitchen cabinets lighting up a food preparation area, as well as in the bathrooms next to the mirror. Table lamp is an easy and stylish solution to be used in the study rooms. 



Mood lighting can help to create a relaxing atmosphere in a living room, bedroom or bathroom.  In this case, recessed lighting features could do the job. Hidden lighting sources will create magical and inspiring environment. 



When referring to decorative lighting, lamps are coming into a play. With a wide selection on the market there is something for everyone, from traditional chandeliers to rustic table lamps. Wall lights can create an interesting theatrical effect.

How To Choose A Perfect Lighting For Different House Zones

Created out of a deep respect for vintage lighting, Apparatus was conceived when designers Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson began to experiment with vintage lighting components. Using contemporary materials and salvaged objects, Apparatus create pieces that not only give interiors a dynamic and utilitarian edge, but they create pieces that almost function as sculptures in themselves.
A rather exemplary characteristic from this design duo is their desire to work with their hands and bring out the beauty in materials that have long since been forgotten about. They call it finding the “perfect imperfect”, for instance, brass components are ardently finished in order to find ‘layers of hidden beauty’.  I love that playing homage to history is always at the forefront of their minds, and I am equally enthused by the way Hendifar and Anderson reference history through the finish and structure.

The finish on ‘Cloud’ references 19th century frosting techniques.


The three central lights emit a soft glow that is spread through the cluster of the orbs.



‘Highwire’ is inspired by the French aerialist Philippe Petit. The balance bar can be moved on its axis.


The use of triangular and conical shapes in ‘Triad’ is influenced by trigonometric principles. 



‘Compass’ is inspired by cartographic imagery.

Pendant lights will not illuminate the whole room as their primary and most widely used purpose is to illuminate a task area. It could be your kitchen island, dining table or work surface-desk area. If your aim is to create a bit more romantic atmosphere or to add and interesting detail to your interior, then pendant lights are a must-have purchase.
