Studio Krassa
	Afroditi Krassa's Floating Light restored our belief in the magic of good design. Constructed from a halogen lightbulb that's suspended from a transparent nylon net supporting a helium balloon, the Floating Light proves the simplest, most humble materials can reach great heights (which, by the way, can be adjusted by wrapping the cable around the weighted base). Unit 37, DRCA Business Center, Charlotte Desparde Avenue, London SW11 5HD; 44-207-627-3463. no website

Ivalo
	Designed by Stefano Casciani, this 4-foot sconce is the latest extension of the Aliante collection.

Bold painted finishes are also offered. 2300 Computer Avenue, Suite 1-2, Willow Grove, PA 19090; 215-830-1408. no website
