Cosy Copper

The interiors and furniture industry embraced Copper as one of the materials of choice for 2013. Following a plethora of new entries at the Milan Furniture Fair - and a fantastic public response to its charms - manufacturers have been quick to get their products to market - making a huge range of new designs available in this comfortably familiar material available. With a rich, cosy hue, whether it be spun, beaten, polished or brushed, copper brings warmth to any space. What better way to bed down this autumn than in your own home with one of these new designs featuring this most classic of materials.

New lighting additions from Flos

Launched in Milan this year Flos have now released three new designs which are now available to order. The Aim Light by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec is a fantastic 'installation' suspension light which does as it's name suggests and can be directed in different positions. Used singularly or grouped together in a maximum of 5 from one rose it's available in black or white.

Reinterpreting a design classic is a modern these in contemporary design and the Goldman Lamp, by Ron Gilad, is no exception. Goldman gives the original banker's lamp a whole new, refined image. Referencing the past in original green and bronze there's also a bang on trend version in nickel and smoke - ideal for the modern office.  Soft touch LED technology adds to its allure.

Finally Orotund by Marc Newson rounds up the trio. In white polycarbonate this round wall light combines practical illumination with sculptural flair for a statement any wall would be grateful for.

Tatou from Flos

This autumn sees the launch of a new range of lights from Flos by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola. Tatou comes in two suspension versions (different sizes) as well as a table lamp and floor lamp. The inspiration behind the design is antique Japanese armour but the name 'Tatou' is actually French for Armadillo - the leather creature with a protective shell. Like its namesake Tatou gives the impression of having a protective coat but at the same time offers dynamism, lightness and flexibility for any lighting application. The 'shell' actually protects direct light to the eyes and produces a harmonic play on light and shadow through the perforated sections. This is made up of four identical elements which are all interwoven to form a unified dome shape which diffuses light both up and down. Each light is available in three colours - black, ochre grey and white. From £250.00 - fantastic value for Flos - they're available now.

FOSCARINI Release the Duii Desk Lamp

Say hello to the Duii Desk Lamp which has well and truly caught our eye. Designed by Diesel for Foscarini it ouzes Diesel's industrial chic styling. Packed to the brim full of original features, it's been inspired by many classic favourites from the traditional Meccano set, from the articulated arm and wing screws to the rounded lamp - which closely resemblances a retro car headlight. A Mohican style peak and metal visor further accentuate Duii's presence. In addition a rounded tray incorporated into the base will neatly hold all those bits and bobs from paperclips to elastic bands. In glossy yellow or grey with an arm bending in five places it will finish your desk or office space in style and shower you with light when needed most!

Watch The Birdie!

Foscarini have a new collection of lights out but we love the Birdie! Designed by Luvovia and Roberto Palomba this gorgeously slender light is the epitome of elegance! as a Table Lamp or Floor Lamp both come in four colours - White, Grey, Wine and - the one we love the most - orange! On the stem is a branch which contains the on/off switch. We think they make great bedside or reading lamps and the floor lamp is great behind a sofa or where space is a bit limited.

Flos Can Can Light

The Flos Can Can Light - designed by Marcel Wanders - is an exceptional value pendant light with a dual personality. We saw this in Milan and submitted it to The Daily Telegraph as one of our hot pics from this years fair (as best small interiors shops winner). Great to see the larger version is now available to order. The clean and simple silhouette appeals to the modernist in us whilst the contrasting filigree diffuser gives Can Can a traditional twist. With a black or white body each comes with a diffuser in clear or pink. Can Can is available now and the smaller version - Mini Can Can - will be available from September. Prices have yet to be confirmed for Mini Can Can but the large one is on sale now for £178.00 with FREE delivery - fantastic value for a Flos product and Marcel Wanders design!

Kartell Elliptical Bloom Light

For a spectacular floral light display see the new Kartell Bloom Light. Developed from the original Bloom Light (launched in 2010) by Ferruccio Laviani (master of the iconic Bourgie Lamp) this new elliptical version gives the same spectacular light display in fresh new colourways. In two pendant sizes and two ceiling/surface mounted sizes it's available in crystal clear, fresh mint, summery lavender or a matt white. Starting at just £159.00 it's an ideal light for a hallway, over a dining table, living room feature pendant or bedroom - it doesn't get much more versatile than that!
