Perfect Pairings to Brighten Your Space
Ah, Valentine’s Day, a time for romance, chocolates, and, if you're us, lighting design. This year, we’re playing cupid, matchmaking designer lighting pieces in a series of romantic pairings.
Like any great couple, these lights complement one another in style, function, and personality, proving that some designs are simply better together.
So, without further ado, let us introduce our picks for the lighting world’s hottest couples.
1) The Intellectual Couple
The Louis Poulsen Panthella 320 Table Lamp & The Louis Poulsen AJ Floor Lamp
Refined and timeless, this duo epitomises Danish design brilliance. The Panthella 320, a creation by Verner Panton, boasts an organic form that creates a soft ambient glow. It’s elegant, iconic, and utterly sophisticated. Enter the AJ Floor Lamp, designed by Arne Jacobsen with sleek lines and an adjustable head. The polished stainless steel finish reflects their shared commitment to minimalism and function. Together, they’re like the intellectual couple with a quiet confidence and unparalleled depth.
Why it works:
- Shared Scandinavian heritage.
- Contrasting light directions – ambient from the Panthella, task lighting from the AJ.
- Both timeless, versatile, and collector-worthy.
2) The Host Couple
