Manfactured by Finnish glass company Iittala, Magnus Pettersen’s Leimu table lamps produce a warm atmospheric light thanks to tinted copper colour glass lampshade which sits atop a concrete base. Inspired by architecture, the contrast between the two materials really works, while the simple shape feels elegant and sleek. Available in two sizes, the lamps will be available from the Iittala site: www.iittala.com
