Jeeves and Wooster Lampshades by Tim Yu
Needless to say, brimmed hats are a popular accessory among the downtown set these days, so it's especially refreshing to see them used in a different way, like with these Jeeves and Wooster Lampshades.
Aptly named after the British comedy series Jeeves and Wooster, the pendant lights are made in the UK and both varieties feature a black wool felt exterior and fire-rated polycarbonate diffuser. The Jeeve's bowler hat is lined with a refined gold interior and the Wooster's top hat features a silver lining. Both can handle a 40 watt light bulb providing just enough light for almost any household setting.
Part of the Hidden Art Select range, Jeeves Wooster can be purchased for £415 from the Hidden Art Shop. You can also purchase them separately—Jeeves goes for £210 and Wooster for £225.

Three White Chandeliers at 100% Design London

Estudio Manus' porcelain goods are hitting MoMA's Design: Brazil collection, but with keen foresight, the São Paulo duo is already making emphatic forays into other objects and furniture under the guise of its newest collection called "Peixe."

Blown Ups Lightbulbs
Melding the frivolity of balloon animals with the function of illuminating your personal space, these Blown Ups are quite the eccentric offering from Thelermont Hupton of London. Each piece is crafted with silver finished steel and are made from blown glass that combines the traditional handicraft of a glassworker with the every-day-magic of electric light that we often take for granted. They can be ordered...

Frankie Table Lamp
Brazilian designer Fernando Akasaka continues to impress, this time with Frankie, a skull-shaped table lamp with eyes that emits piercing light beams. Using luxe materials like those in his recent and fun Cowboy Junkie saddle stool, the 11-pound light features interchangeable, colored LED or halogen bulbs.
