A reissue of a 1960's product by Miguel Milá, the ASA table lamp is a minimalist lantern composed of a white, translucent methacrylate shade. Its smart design features a tubular metal base that extends upward to form handles for ease of moving from one spot to another, or from the outdoors in.

With cylinders of glass orchestrated at varied heights like organ pipes, the Cyla Chandelier is as much art as it is lighting. Customizable in size and configuration, it is also ecologically friendly, with aluminum and brass free of plating or anodizing, partially recycled glass, and the option of LED lamping.

They'll always find the right door with Ron Lancial's 8-LED.

William Couig and Kanik Chung of Studio Vetro champion the trickle-down theory with their Cascading chandelier.

In addition to the standard height, 66 inches, custom dimensions are available. 212-766-0208; furthurdesign.com. circle 411

Opalflex, a patented plastic, proves as pliable as paper in the Goccia series of sinuous suspension fixtures by Stefano Papi. The 17-inch-high shades come in six color options including Fire and opal—glowing in the light of an E27 incandescent bulb. 39-06-916-2391; slamp.com. circle 413

No bees labored to produce the honeycomb of the Cmesh pendant fixtures—slip-dipped wire was glazed and fired instead. Suspended from aircraft cable, they include Cone, Mobius, and, aptly, Hive. All accept incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs. 917-751-1144; scottstrickstein.com. circle 423

Multiple choices make Mellifluous your own. The pendant fixture's handblown glass diffuser comes either smooth or sandblasted.

Plus, there's a choice of lamping: incandescent, halogen, or LED. 212-475-0479; jgooddesign.com. circle 414

Like a generous dollop of whipped cream, a matte white handblown glass diffuser, 9 inches high, sits on the polyester or coated metal base of Prospero Rasulo's Dune. The table lamp takes incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs. 973-882-3824; fabbian.com. circle 412

The name of this Argentine team's Mesa de Luz lamp translates directly as night light. The top drawer of the lacquered wood nightstand pulls out to reveal a glowing, LED-illuminated acrylic box. The lamp stands 27½ inches high by 23½ inches wide by 17¾ inches deep. 954-302-8758; brionexperimental.com. circle 657

It accepts incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs. 310-312-0477; orestessuarez.com. circle 667

It takes a village at Yamagiwa Corporation. Drawing talent from London, Paris, Buenos Aires, and Japan, the manufacturer offered 12 introductions at Euroluce during this year's Salone Internazionale del Mobile. Members of the group all worked separately before convening in Milan. By coincidence, however, their contributions reflected similar sensibilities.

In Japan, Toyo Ito combined glass fibers with resin to create the ethereal spheres of the Mayuhana table lamps and pendant fixtures. Setsu and Shinobu Ito, no relation, went angular with the chromed aluminum Kigokoro ceiling fixture, its radiating arms housing Swarovski crystal diffusers. Glass appears to encircle the aluminum core of Tokujin Yoshioka's Tear Drop halogen lamp and the smaller Tear Drop Mini LED. With Shirabe, Eriko Horiki turned a side table into a light fixture—with an internally lit pedestal base wrapped in handmade Japanese washi paper and a round tabletop of clear acrylic. Paper covers the acrylic sheets of Kisawings by Kisa Kawakami, while its cedar frame suggests a satellite in orbit. Moonbird, a task lamp by Yukio Hashimoto, abstracts flight into an ultrathin red-lacquered resin curve.

Among those jetting in from London, Peter Emrys-Roberts folded a ribbon of acrylic covered in ribbed fabric into Cumula, a pendant fixture. For the Rorrim pendant, Ross Lovegrove sculpted mirrored glass into a pair of vaguely hooflike forms, powered by a bright red cord. Red liquid fills the glass orb of the Swell pendant by Paul Cocksedge, rising through its stem like mercury in a thermometer as an incandescent bulb heats up. The only task lamp from the British contingent, Stem Ray by Sebastian Conran, features a flexible rubber stem rising from a die-cast zinc tripod base.

Paris and Buenos Aires made one contribution apiece. The handblown white glass diffuser of Christophe Pillet's floor lamp, Yewtree, looks less like a tree and more like Constantin Brancusi's Bird in Space. Architectural models were clearly the inspiration for Pablo Reinoso's Stepysteps, composed of extendable slabs of transparent acrylic.

Goth goes mod in Simone Micheli's Cross ceiling fixture, as Greek crosses of Murano glass, colored or not, alternate with steel versions. Customize the design with larger or smaller crosses or other shapes, specify a square mount, or ask about sconce versions. All have steel frames and mounts. 39-02-9697-5281; lamurrina.com. circle 425

Generations of manufacturers have looked to wood for its strength. What LZF Lamps sees is primarily the litheness. This lighting specialist challenged designers to use its patented Pollywood veneer to shape the illuminated sculptures of a collection called Light and Nature. For the Agatha pendant fixture, Luis Eslava Studio fashioned ribbons into swirls twirling down from a chromed canopy. Victor Carrasco's Tilt floor lamp fuses two cylinders into one off-kilter form. And base flows seamlessly into shade with Ray Power's Air table lamp. Offered in two sizes and several finishes, each accepts incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs. 34-96-252-47-80; lzf-lamps.com. circle 410

Few styles in the classical lighting repertoire are more ubiquitous than the urn lamp. Which makes it a prime target for the deconstructive tendencies of Deadgood Trading's Elliot Brook and Dan Ziglam. Their Wire lighting collection "represents the past whilst also having two feet firmly planted in the now," Ziglam says. That concept takes the form of CNC wire powder-coated black, green, red, or white and fitted with red braided flex cords. For the pendant fixture, choose from two sizes: 15 inches high by 19 across and 24 inches high by 31½ across. Ditto for the table lamp: 18 inches high by 12 across and 31½ inches high by 19 across. There's also a floor lamp. 44-191-261-1277; deadgoodltd.co.uk. circle 408
