It feels like good lighting is having a bit of a moment for both affordable and high end brands. A quick scroll through George at Asda’s latest lighting collection is evidence of this, and you’ll find a sweep of table lamps that look far more considered than their price tags would suggest.
For years, lighting has been one of those categories where spending less often meant compromising on design. But the influence of brands like Soho Home, Pooky, OKA and Maison Flâneur is clearly trickling down. Nowadays you can find sculptural silhouettes, glossy finishes and a more playful approach to shape without the usual three-figure commitment, which is certainly good news for those of us with more modest budgets.
