Today’s lighting options have never been more eye-catching and diversified—whether for outdoors, indoors, or both.
Consider the Sparkler lantern from Poltrona Frau, which designer Kensaku Oshiro reimagined from the traditional Japanese rice paper form.

Available in three sizes from $1,590 (stand not included), at Janus et Cie.
Mimicking the giant flowerheads of the plant it is named for, Dutch designer Bertjan Pot’s Heracleum III Linear ceiling fixture is a natural beauty above a kitchen island or dining table. $4,211 (in nickel, shown), at Moooi.
Made of gilded steel and papier-mâché by craftsmen in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Fisher Weisman’s three-tiered Constellation chandelier is dressed to impress. $17,900, at Profiles.
Use Fermob’s cheery, wireless Aplô lamp as a portable LED light source wherever you need it—even as a flashlight after a late-night summer party on the beach. Available in six colors (shown: Honey). $143.
Comprising sumptuous leather, brushed brass hardware, and a dimmable LED bulb, L’Aviva Home’s new Saddle fixtures recall the equestrian heritage of Colombia’s historic coffee-growing culture. Capa pendant, $2,375.
Artisans in India painstakingly hand-cut the lustrous facets on the Hammered Glass Globe fixture from Hector Finch, an exquisite exercise in master craftsmanship. $1,134 (small) and $1,506 (large), at Harbinger.

Designed by Julia Jessen for Schneid, the Bauhaus-inspired Junit Stanza pendant lamp indulges in the interplay between abstract shapes and warm walnut. $647, at Stillfried Wien.
The playful Chapeau sconce, designed by Mat Sanders for Studio M, tips its hat to the Parisian brasseries of yesteryear. $297, at Light Lab Design.

Named for the shape and glow of Mongolian Pao tents at night, the Pao portable lamp—designed by Naoto Fukasawa for Hay—is made of high-gloss polycarbonate that can withstand any desert storm. Available in four colors (shown: Cool Grey). $195, at MoMA Design Store.
New from the British furnishings company Jamb, the antique-brass Baxter table lamp is twice the fun, an elegant accent piece for any task at hand. $1,568, by appointment at Zak+Fox.
You don’t even need a membership to snag the clubby Giovanni table lamp, brought to you from the folks behind Soho House’s new retail arm, Soho.Home.Studio. $325.
