Sculptural Illumination: New Lighting from Alexander Lamont
Alexander Lamont’s latest lighting designs are a masterful lesson in sculptural illumination. This fusion of natural textures, historical influences, and artistic craftsmanship offers a new way to experience light through uniquely tactile and sculptural pieces, each evoking a story in its design.
PAGLIA Floor and Table Lamps
The popular PAGLIA collection expands with floor and table lamps that celebrate the rugged texture of rye straw, translated into cast brass forms. Like cliffs exposed to natural erosion, the Paglia lamps reveal layers of texture, catching and reflecting light in fascinating ways. These burnished, sculptural illumination pieces have an earthy allure and monumental presence that pair beautifully with the simplicity of the lamp’s shade, adding a touch of organic grandeur to interiors.
Each of Alexander Lamont’s designs brings an element of artistry and reverence for natural materials, inviting light and texture to transform everyday spaces into atmospheres of timeless elegance.
CHIME Pendant Lamps
The CHIME Pendant Lamps reinterpret the texture of shagreen, bringing a refined natural finish to contemporary lighting. Inspired by church tower bells, the Chime series features three distinct shapes that can be hung solo or grouped for dramatic effect. Available in two finishes—pale natural speckle and dark chocolate—each lamp is made with geometric shagreen panels. These slightly tapered shades, lined with gold for a warm, radiant glow, are paired with a bronze holder that mirrors the lamp’s shape, lending an elegant balance to the design. The CHIME pendants elevate spaces with a timeless texture, combining earthy materiality with golden light.
EQUINOX Wall Light
EQUINOX introduces an artistic exploration of straw marquetry, showcasing the beauty of natural materials through intricate craftsmanship. Named after the equinox—a moment when the sun crosses the equator and signals the beginning of autumn—the piece reflects this transitional period with soft, golden-brown hues. Interlocking curves and lines in straw marquetry evoke the sun’s path, animating the wall with movement and warmth. The Equinox design functions as both a light and a sculptural element, casting soft shadows and adding a dynamic focal point to any interior.
GALEA Lantern
Drawing inspiration from the helmets of Roman legionaries, the GALEA Lantern is a striking piece that blends history with contemporary aesthetics. A cast bronze frame cradles a translucent alabaster or rock crystal stone, creating an intimate, atmospheric light. The rock crystal, known for its smoky, lace-like inclusions, adds a mystical quality to the light, while alabaster’s warm opacity diffuses a soothing, mellow glow. The GALEA Lantern is a tactile and luminous sculpture, perfect for adding depth and character to intimate spaces.
HEDRA Sconces
Designed by Alberto Velez, the HEDRA Sconces embody Lamont’s signature style with a fresh twist. These wall lights pair warm, cast bronze with the cool allure of faceted crystal, capturing the essence of minerals hidden deep within the earth. Gold-lined bronze cocoons embrace crystal gems, creating a soft, seductive glow. The Hedra sconces bring a new dimension to Lamont’s blend of bronze and gold leaf, adding an element of sparkle and depth that complements the brand’s hallmark craftsmanship
