Yesterday we featured the Lampadina lamp by Achille Castiglioni, a table lamp based on a traditional bulb. Well, if you’re looking for something similar for the ceiling, check out the Bulb pendant lamp by Sofie Refer.

Unlike the Lampadina lamp, this is a recent (and award-winning) design from 2001, using a traditional clear bulb and light fitting, but adding a glass casing around it in the shape of the bulb. Certain to be a classic of the future, but with a definite hint of the past.

You can pick it up for around £50.

More strange and wonderful lighting, this time courtesy of Achille Castiglioni and his Lampadina lamp, which dates back to 1971, but is still available to buy today.

Treading a similar path to the Ingo Maurer Bulb table lamp, it also goes for the bulb look, with a bakelite coloured bulb holder, clear globe bulb and an anodised aluminium base shaped like a film reel for storing the excess cable.

For a classic piece of design, it’s not too expensive either, priced around £55.

Another contender for your walls is this selection of modern, but very retro wallpaper from Darwen-based Concept Coverings.

There’s a wide selection available beyond the examples pictured – and if the colours don’t quite fit the bill, you can have the paper re-coloured to your own requirements.

Prices are around £45 per square metre. Also worth checking out their canvas prints and wall squares too.
