Here’s a short list of new lighting options.
California-based lighting company Cerno is introducing the Demi Sconce, designed by Caleb Siemon and Carmen Salazar, and made using a centuries-old technique to create tactile, light-diffusing glass that softly diffuses light. A hand-formed brass armature cradles the hemispherical glass.

Italian lighting company Lodes is offering Tidal, a suspension lamp created with Needs Studio that has an oval shape that captures the essence of “celestial bodies, waves and tides,” the company said. One side of the lamp is wider than the other, so the lamp appears to shift in perspective depending on its relation to the viewer. Tidal projects light downwards and upwards simultaneously, and its intensity can be adjusted via a dimmer controlled by the wall switch. It comes in four finishes and is also available as a ceiling lamp.
JIM by Patrick Norguet for Lodes is a trio of suspension lamps available in three distinct shapes — a bell, cone and cylinder — and various diameters that allow for all sorts of different compositions. . Suspended from a self-supporting cable running through a transparent, tinted methacrylate hook, JIM is designed to shed light downwards while still illuminating the hook above the lampshade. It’s available in two sizes and five finishes.
Lodes is also teaming again with fashion company Diesel on Reglobe, pendants made from grains of recycled plastic that forms a speckled, terrazzo-like surface. The globe shape comes in three sizes. Spring is the result of another collaboration between Lodes and Diesel, a contemporary classic characterized by a tubular metal arm that bends back on itself.
Lodes’ Skyfall glass pendant was inspired by wine decanters of ancient times, and blends traditional glass processing techniques with advanced LED tech — a double 10W LED source diffuses direct and indirect light.
