Including some in the wild ...

As someone who is firmly in the ‘limited use of over head lights please’ and ‘ceiling spots are a crime’ camp. I’ve collected quite a few lovely lights to go on my wish list. Pendant and floor light favourites to follow but here’s a little run down of covetable table lights for you to shop or save for future reference.

For ease ( and because I am a Virgo) I have categorised the collection, Icons, Portables, £500 and above, Under £500 and Vintage.

My conclusion after putting this list together is that Flos can do very little wrong and I could spend too many hours in the day looking for their Snoopy lamp in the wild.

Let the light show commence …
