There is just something exquisite about French luxury design.  Regardless of where you see it, you just know it’s French.  Take for instance the sculptural, luxurious and unique table lamps – the loukoum lights – from Paris-based designer Christophe Côme. I first saw one on a 17th century Chinese praying table several years back and the visual still haunts me.  They’re so amazing!

Made of polished crystal with a patinated bronze base, the lights are timeless.  Each glass block is crafted individually so no 2 lamps are the same.  Appropriately, they’re named after those imperfect blocks of gelatinous confection we in the West call “turkish delights” – loukoum – and the lamps come in various sizes both in translucent white or yellow.

And just like it was at home sitting on a Chinese antique, these lights can effortlessly combine in more modern settings, whether on a 1920s Ruhlmann table or a contemporary Jake Phipps console. Smoking hot to say the least! These are definitely my interior designer’s pick for the week.
