White light

Italian brand SpHaus (www.sphaus.it) took some of its all-white offerings to Milan's Fuorisalaone design event in April. One of the showpieces was designer Manolo Bossi's 'L.A.' creation, which can be used as a floor or table lamp. Also on show was the THX 1138 floor lamp, by designer Filippo Dell'Orto, a tall and slender white pole with a sleek white disc sitting at its apex.

New Zealand designer Phil Cuttance (www.philcuttance.com), whose company ships to Hong Kong, makes a Cloud City lampshade (far right), a white ceiling light that gives off an opalescent glow and looks like it has been cut from paper.

Napoleon by the Nile (right) is the intriguing name of a floor lamp created by Swedish house Garsnas (www.garsnas.se). It is made using a frame of silver wire, at the top of which is fashioned a spherical shade made from embroidered white cotton. The same fabric is used for the Pia Plafond lamp and the ceiling-suspended Pia Original.

Hampstead Lighting (www.hampsteadlighting.com) in Tucker, Georgia, in the US, has wall sconces and ceiling suspensions in the same matte-white finish while at Los Angeles-based Bourgeois Boheme (www.bobo-antiques.com), a stunning Couronnes chandelier features six branches in white plaster lit by simple small bulbs. Hampstead Lighting and Bobo Antiques both ship to Hong Kong.
