I have a hard time writing this without quoting Steve Carell (aka Brick Tamland) in Anchorman: I really do love these lamps. They bring a special glow to your room, whether it\u2019s wall sconces that draw on the cast-stone surrounds of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, or a fringe-topped table lamp with a geometric sensibility.<\/p>\n

Something to keep in mind with lighting? Scale, says Chestnut Hill interior designer Madeline Hause<\/a>, who dreamed up the sconces above ($320 each) with Poser Creative<\/a>. \u201cConsider the ratio of ceiling height to furniture and art\/mirror pieces you may be accenting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for that fringy showpiece? You can find H. Bigeleisen\u2019s Stack lamp ($5,700) at Dudd Haus<\/a> in Old City.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the Onslow lamp ($3,200), from East Falls\u2013based Lostine<\/a>. Designers Robert Ogden and Natalie Page took the memory of an African sculpture they saw in an antique shop in Amsterdam and blended it with the curves of the Bauhaus movement to create something timeless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kennett Square\u2013based Dounia Home<\/a>\u2019s Amur Mushroom table lamp ($1,250) has a mid-mod aesthetic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the sweeping neck of Rispal\u2019s Giraffe Tablet ($2,910), at Bulb Lighting<\/a> in Rittenhouse, nods to its namesake while providing a room-elevating light source. Shine on.<\/p>\n

Published as \u201cLet There Be Light!\u201d in the September 2026 issue of Philadelphia magazine.<\/p>\n
