Articolo<\/span><\/a> was the talk of the trade show this year. We particularly dug this elegant wall sconce, which casts a soft emerald shadow on surrounding walls.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The young Brooklyn design outfit Coil + Drift had an impressive stand this year, with several new designs sharing a craftsy bent. <\/span>The Cirrus Sconce<\/span><\/a> is more ethereal\u2014two cast-resin rings, one set within the other, are fixed to a brass light source. A chandelier version ups the number of rings to four.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Camino’s Interlaced floor lamps, designed by <\/span>ViiChen<\/span><\/a>, use wire mesh to recreate a blurred image of the moon. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The <\/span>Midispy Trimless ceiling light by Belgian firm Delta Light<\/span><\/a> nabbed an ICFF editor’s award at this year’s fair. This LED option can be fully recessed or mounted, with the latter version allowing for a full 90-degree rotation to angle its beam. <\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUXJ637l_bY\/?taken-by=metropolismag&hl=en<\/p>\n It’s no secret we’re fans of British designer Ilse Crawford\u00a0(read our profile of Crawford\u00a0here<\/a>), and we loved this collaboration with Kalmar Lighting, an Austrian company with a rich history of craftsmanship and design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Koncept’s Mr. Go Lantern’s functionality and multi-tasking ability made it an ICFF standout. It’s perfect for a number of uses, including the outdoorsman who needs a portable lantern or the little one who needs a nightlight in their room. It’s small, portable, and its dimmer is an added bonus. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Zealand company Resident<\/a> presented this <\/span>striking pendant<\/span><\/a> inspired by paper lanterns; its frosted glass and perforated core create a luminous texture.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUcqtqGllm-\/?taken-by=metropolismag&hl=en<\/p>\n Secto Design has been known for its\u00a0classic Scandinavian fixtures<\/a> for some time, but this year they relaunched in the US with new colors and sizes that made us fall in love all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of the several new lighting designs Sonneman showed this year, it\u2019s the little <\/span>Infinity LED sconce<\/span><\/a> that charmed the most. The diecast LED uplight is a subtle thing, featuring a gentle curve that does a lot with very little. A second option even incorporates a downlight.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sustainable lighting company Tala<\/a> (who also impressed us at last year’s ICFF<\/a>) attempted to recreate forms found in\u00a0nature for their newest line of LED lights. This product, with its unusual uneven surface, draws inspiration from\u00a0the patterns found in the forest canopy.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUci7uHleRO\/?taken-by=metropolismag&hl=en<\/p>\n This small countertop lamp by <\/span>Trueing<\/span><\/a>\u2014winners of the ICFF Editors\u2019 Award for emerging designers and the designers of our very own <\/span>#MetropolisLikes Award<\/span><\/a>\u2014creates a little bit of mystery through the use of a rotating piece of dichroic glass. Light from an LED embedded in the brass ring is reflected off the glass in the center.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
