Heading west, designs get back to nature with an emphasis on rustic, simplified styling and natural materials. Look for hemp, linen, rattan and stone to spice up the tactile assortment, while crackled and mica-inspired finishes reveal textural depth.
The hand-forged Rush table lamp twists iron upward in this fanciful design from Stone County Ironworks ($220).
Finished in antique bronze, the Mission Star lamp from Shady Lady features a Kraft shade with leather ties, inner mica finish and decorative stars ($250).
Hand-painted crackle porcelain highlights the Open Range table lamp from Sedgefield by Adams, topped with a linen empire shade ($373).
A cream hemp hardback shade emphasizes the rough-hewn appeal of Harris Marcus Home's wood-like cross-section lamp ($180).
Arurug rattan crisscrosses a warm metal stem in J.D. Chamberlain's Waltz table lamp ($450).
A hand-painted shade and artful stone base lend Palecek's bamboo strip lamp a style that is at once rustic and sophisticated ($450).
