Bright Ideas

The days grow shorter, the nights are cooler, and it is time to seek shelter from the long chill of November evenings. It is time  to go inside, curl up on the couch (with a copy of New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles) and warm ourselves under the comforting glow of a beautiful lamp. In the following pages, we bring you the very best –– from vintage-inspired one-of-a-kind treasures at Neophobia and lüm to the ultra-contemporary translucent silver gems at Design Within Reach and Villa Vici.
Each lamp is so gorgeous that it will brighten a room not only with
the light it casts but also with its design.
