When it comes to dining, bedroom, or living room lighting, the forms take inspiration from oblong shapes, casting targeted and tantalizing glows. Why this shape, and why now? It’s because they’re playful and polished, and create a striking statement with a curvaceous silhouette.
They also funnel light, creating the ideal glow for how we want to live now – warm and flattering, and sociable. ‘My favorite trend is the use of statement lighting pieces that can be used both as a functional and decorative elements,’ says the interior designer Nina Magon. Lighting trends generally would imply that the era of the big light is over, and that wall and floor lamps are the most important now. But the targeted way this shape creates light means if you have to have a big central light, then it has to be tubularly shaped.
