Floral Lighting Designs
There’s no denying nature’s inspiration, especially this time of year. From flora to foliage, Mother Nature has been the muse for so many lighting designs, from beautiful blooms to bursts of color. Here are some fresh, flowery fixtures we love, just in time for spring.
Flora LED Round Pendant by Alora Lighting
Simply graceful, this modern interpretation of plant life is a minimalist’s dream. The brass and steel design isn’t too showy, accented by clear acrylic shades that promise lightness of form as well as hanging weight. We love the integrated LEDs that bring the shades to life with a warm, even glow.
Exclusively at Lumens: La Vie Ceiling/Wall Light by Slamp
Slamp uses proprietary, eco-friendly materials to construct inventive, recyclable designs—but we think you’ll hang onto this one. Based on the Flower of Life, this design comes in several colorways and is a decorative centerpiece in rooms that aren’t tall enough for a chandelier. And it’s only at Lumens.
Alberto Wall Sconce by Visual Comfort
Visual Comfort has rethought the floral motif yet again with designer Julie Neill’s Alberto collection. The wall sconce here is a riff on traditional castle sconces, originally holders for torches, but with a straightforward modern elegance that draws upon natural shapes. The warm glow inside the blossom when lit is enchanting.
Muse Flower Wall/Ceiling Light by AXO Light
The Muse is nothing short of a modern marvel. Elasticized fabric stretches smoothly over a wire frame and forms about a rounded disc of overlapping gentle floral outlines. The design works on the wall or the ceiling, making a lovely artistic statement no matter where it is you hang it. Bonus points for the removable, machine washable fabric.
Mobius Semi-Flushmount by Hubbardton Forge
Suggestive of delicately opening blossoms, Hubbardton Forge’s Mobius series captures the ephemeral quality of spring in folded paper and metal. We’re impressed with the softness the blacksmith artisans have captured in this design, complemented by an array of iterations that include a spectacularly forged all-metal pendant.
Floral Pendant by David Trubridge
The Floral Pendant from David Trubridge makes a globular statement out of natural bamboo. Its eco-friendly flat shipping means you get to build the fixture yourself. The easily interlocking components form a blooming flower pattern once complete, with light peeking out from between the cutout petals. The result is casted shadows and light play on the surrounding ceiling and wall.
Made in Italy by Kartell, the Bloom Pendant takes floral arranging to a new and thoroughly modern level. The intricate flower details are made of a sparkly, transparent techno-polymer in color schemes that include mint green, lavender and clear crystal. It’s lovely on its own or grouped together in ever-blooming clusters.
Rimini Floor Lamp by Global Views
The Rimini Floor Lamp is one chic way to bring a bit of a jungle vibe to your space. The sweeping gold leaf shades rotate to direct the light exactly where you want it. You might be tempted to tuck it into a cozy reading corner, but this piece could easily become the focal point in a room.
Federica Pendant by Bruck Lighting
Natural materials lend themselves beautifully to flower-shaped fixtures. This pendant has an abundance of wood veneer petals that bloom up, down and all around. The result is soft, diffused light in full floral form.
Spring LED Linear Suspension by Hubbardton Forge
Inspired by raindrops cascading down a garden trellis, this is an elegant interpretation of a modern botanical concepts. Every part of this dramatic piece is made by hand, from the forged metal to the mouth-blown glass. The design is part of the Four Seasons collection.
Hanami Linear Suspension by Slamp
Flowering cherry blossoms comprise the Hanami Suspension by Slamp. The fixture is inspired by the Japanese tradition of admiring the transitional beauty of flowers, with hand folded, translucent Lentiflex flowers. LED light sourcing ensures this light is efficient, beautiful and most definitely worth the lingering of your gaze, no matter the season.
Broche Adjustable Semi-Flushmount/Pendant by Crystorama
Composed of dozens of multi-toned golden leaves, this botanical beauty is handpainted with metal foil over delicate wrought iron—standing the test of time with its classic look. It also has a functional versatility, able to easily transition from chandelier to a semi-flushmount.
