Fascinating shapes throw a curve ball into the latest modern designs, surprising with sophisticated yet extraordinarily sexy appeal. Look for abstract leanings, sensual lines and clever recreations of classic forms to star.

A classic infinity knot is rendered modern in espresso wood, brushed nickel detailing and tan linen shade from Nova Lighting.
Finished in brushed nickel, the dual table lamp from Coronet Lighting's plays on a classic X motif in modern fashion.
Shiny nickel accents and a raffia-textured tuckunder shade offset the triangular obelisk Brady lamp, part of Frederick Cooper's Larry Laslo Collection ($565).
Simon Pearce's handmade Hamilton lamp incorporates a cubed, rectangular body atop a glass base ($550).
