Au Natural

Hot new looks in lighting reflect a trend toward organic inspirations, both in materials and motifs. Here, the sinuous, flora and fauna-driven designs of the Art Nouveau period mingle with modern-day organics, as natural woods and upscale gilding coexist in perfect harmony.

Embroidered flowers embellish the dainty Debra lamp from Kinzig Design Home, finished with a beaded finial and pulls ($600).

The Arbor torchiere from Cherry Tree Design reflects a streamlined, woodsy presence in hardwood cherry and faux alabaster ($499).

Raised grape and foliage designs punctuate the classical appeal of Chelsea House's hand-painted Wedgewood Vine lamp ($615).
