Giorgetti - Nao
There were no klieg lights when Giorgetti unveiled its showroom in the New York Design Center. But inside the 3,900-square-foot space, designed by image consultant Ricardo Bello Dias, table lamps by Chi Wing Lo supplied the shine. Lo says he sees his designs as an invitation "to worship light," and he adapted the Greek word for temple when naming them Nao. Each lamp has a diffuser of white or amber pressed glass, framed in maple, and a dimmer switch of pau ferro, a Brazilian hardwood. Praise be. 201-836-9100; giorgettiusa.com.

Atelier Marie Christophe - Baigneuse
The client list for Marie Christophe's pewter-wirelamps includes the crème de la crème of French fashion. For Christian Dior's Paris boutiques, Atelier Marie Christophe recently designed three chandeliers, fanciful fixtures that shimmer with a combination of opalescent and transparent crystals.
Her latest series of production pieces, all table lamps, plays with very different materials: steel wire, colored ceramic beads, and black, white, blue, or yellow PVC shades. Baigneuse, a female bather with those beads covering just the right places, stands 36 ½ inches tall. She's joined by a menagerie of similar designs, from the bird-footed Oiseau (19 1/4 inches tall) to the Pelican (29 inches) and the Fugu Fish (38 ½ inches).
