Original Lighting

An original light fixture is chosen first for its shape (sphere, tube, oval) and the room it must light, then for its material and socket. This selection brings together pendants, wall lights, ceiling lights and table lamps in metal, glass, acrylic or bamboo, most in LED and guaranteed for two years.

What are the trending light fixtures?

The most common shapes are the sphere and the tube, with metal structures and white, gold or black finishes. A sphere diffuses a soft, round light, a tube draws a horizontal line above a worktop. The vast majority of models run on LED, most often in warm white.

Unique lighting for the living room

In the living room, the pendant makes the statement. The Lotus pendant at 19 cm combines metal and acrylic in a gold or white silhouette, in cool white as well as warm white, and its compact format suits the centre of the living room as well as above a low sideboard. To vary, browse our living room lighting, where models come in several diameters.

Unique lighting for the kitchen

Above a worktop, aim for clear light and a shape that is easy to clean. Glass and acrylic dust off in one wipe, while openwork structures require more patience. A kitchen light fixture in the shape of a sphere or flat sphere gives a readable design without cluttering the cabinets.

Which original light fixture to choose by room?

The choice depends first on volume and use: pendant above a table, wall light near a bed, compact ceiling light in a hallway or toilet, protected wall light in a bathroom. Ceiling height and available space dictate the format, before colour or style.

Unique lighting for the bedroom

Near the bed, the wall light frees up the bedside table. The Kira wall light measures 122 x 15 cm, mounts at the head of the bed and runs on LED, so no bulb to change at height. Its grazing light illuminates the page without disturbing the other person. The bedroom light fixtures come in short versions for narrow walls.

Unique lighting for the dining room

Above the table, the pendant is set at eye level and chosen according to the length of the tabletop. The Jyla chandelier, in metal and brass, comes in 50 cm and 120 cm, in gold, black or beige, to suit a small round table as well as a large rectangular one. Find more ideas in pendant above the table.

Unique lighting for the toilet

In a toilet or small hallway, a compact ceiling light is enough and avoids cast shadows. The Sibao bamboo ceiling light, 40 cm in diameter and 16.5 cm high, with an E27 socket, fits in a small volume and dusts off easily. See also hallway lighting.

How to choose the material, colour and shape of an original light fixture?

The material defines the finish: metal draws a fine silhouette, acrylic diffuses an even light, glass plays with reflections, bamboo brings a natural and warm finish. In terms of colour, white, gold and black cover most of the selection and match a contemporary interior.

Unique lighting in wood

Solid wood remains rare in lighting: bamboo gives the warm finish while staying light. A bamboo or patinated iron structure calls for natural tones and raw fabrics. Modern light fixtures often combine this material with a fine frame.

Unique lighting in white or gold

White blends into a ceiling and lets the shape speak; gold marks a luminous point in a sober room. One strong finish per room is enough. White light fixtures suit small volumes, and gold finishes more readily living spaces.

Pendant, wall light or ceiling light: which shape for which use?

The pendant lights a table or island and is height-adjustable, the wall light frees the floor and frames a bed or mirror, the ceiling light covers a small volume or hallway. The tube and sphere dress pendants, flat and round shapes are better suited to wall lights.

Pendant and table lamp

For a large volume, the Elo pendant lamp drops to 200 cm on 47 cm wide, in aluminium and acrylic, with dimmer: it fits in a stairwell or mezzanine. A table lamp, on the other hand, moves: the Orion table lamp at 30 cm, with an E27 socket, lights a reading corner or an entrance.

Where to place an original wall light

The wall light mounts at the head of the bed, on either side of a mirror, or along a hallway. The Qilo wall light comes in 30, 60, 80 and 100 cm, in 30 W LED, with dimmer and three colour temperatures to choose from. More discreet, the Gair wall light ranges from 12 to 43 cm. Other formats are gathered in wall lights and wall fixtures.

What light and protection rating for an original light fixture?

Colour temperature changes the mood: warm white 2700 to 3500 K for the living room, bedroom and meals, neutral white for mixed use, cool white 4500 to 6500 K for the kitchen, hallway or office. The protection rating indicates where to place the light fixture: IP20 in dry rooms, IP45 or IP65 near water.

Warm white or cool white: what to choose

Warm white suits rooms where you slow down, bedroom and living room, and remains the most common in this selection. Cool white makes colours sharp and highlights a worktop or entrance. A model able to switch from one to the other settles the question, like the Qilo wall light.

When to choose a dimmable light fixture

A dimmer is useful as soon as the same room changes use: meal then film, reading then bedtime. Several models in the selection accept it, often with integrated LED. Find them in LED lighting, where the bulb needs changing less often.

How to install an original suspended light fixture?

Fix the bracket in the ceiling or wall, run the cable, adjust the height before powering up and have the connection made with the power off. Above a table, the pendant stays above the guests' line of sight, and an integrated LED model avoids changing a bulb at height.

At what height to hang a light fixture above a table

In general, allow 70 to 80 cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the light fixture for a dining table, a little less above a kitchen island. The value depends on the height of the guests and the diameter of the model. Measure before drilling, then adjust the cable before powering up.

Making an original suspended light fixture

Start with a textile cable or a chain, a socket with a compatible base, E27 or G4, and a sphere or a lampshade. Provide an LED bulb, fix the anchor point in a solid support and keep the whole in a dry area. Other bases are visible in pendant light fixture.

How to match and care for an original light fixture?

An original light fixture is matched by repeating a single material or a single finish in the room, without multiplying strong shapes. Care remains simple: regular dusting, soft dry cloth on metal, glass cleaner on glass, microfibre on aluminium and acrylic.

Original light fixture and original decoration

Choose a common thread: brass if the light fixture is gold, black if the structure is iron, glass if the room is already bright. Original decoration relies on a few well-chosen pieces. Glass light fixtures and metal structures mix easily together.

Cleaning a metal, glass or acrylic light fixture

Switch off and let cool before any work. On metal and iron, a soft dry cloth is enough, without abrasive product. On glass, an alcohol-free glass cleaner avoids marks. On aluminium and acrylic, a slightly damp microfibre, then dry. Bamboo is dusted dry, without water.

To choose an original light fixture, start with the room and the dimension, then confirm the socket and the protection rating. The Boule de Verre, the Caro chandelier in 55 x 51 cm or 68 x 65 cm and the Oryn wall light, in IP45, cover three very different uses. The whole selection is guaranteed for two years.
