You know us, we love our office. Everyone should, you spend most of your life in there. Like us, you may live in a hemisphere where the winter means dark mornings and evenings – so ample lighting is essential. Lighting is a must for your eyes – it keeps them healthy and relaxed and helps create a warm, cosy mood in your work area. That said, there are lamps, and then there are lamps…. we’re looking at 5 of the most beautiful lamps on the Internet – sitting at varying ends of the price-o-meter.

Something a bit special

When your showing friends and family round the office, it’s always nice to be able to say “Oh, and this right here would have been sat in a doctors surgery in the 1950′s”. Now you can, by checking out Pigeon Vintage who specialize in retro furniture – including lighting.

Fancy an old hospital lamp? What about a dentist’s workstation, complete with fan, lamp and sink? Pigeon have some amazing vintage furniture pieces, so do check them out.

Cheesy

What about a lamp shaped like a cheese grater? This lamp by the Conran Shop looks amazing in a 70′s retro orange and certainly will make your desk stand out from that of your co-workers.

Made by British designer, Jason Taylor. This lamp gives out a soothing, warm glow. Available  from the Conran Shop.

Anglepoise

Anglepoise have some of the most amazingly cool lamps ever. If Apple made lamps, these would be them, namely because they look awesome and cost as much… the traditional angle-poise lamp is offered in a choice of desk-top or clamp style bases. There’s also the incredible giant lamp.
