Inspired by lantern lighting, new variations on the theme set a sultry mood somewhere between illumination and shadow. While the influences extend back hundreds of years, the lineup is refreshingly modern and even includes a few eco-friendly options.
Lit from within, coco shells swirl across Four Hands' oval lantern ($350).
Crafted of bamboo and recycled woods, slender column-shaped lanterns illuminate with an exotic slant from Bangkok Imports ($200).
Ibolili's modern Kubiko floor lamps come in three sizes, combining stacked rattan cubes with hand-dyed linen ($124 to $164).
Chunky wire allows the light from a translucent inner column to shine through from Square Nest ($90).
