New Lighting at Room & Board

R&B is the stealth version of DWR. Most of their offerings are unique to their brand, but they've diversified with reissued design classics, making them a satisfying one-stop source for quality transitional, ethnic and modern furnishings and accessories.

They recently rounded out their already solid lighting selection with some well-priced new options. You can see them all here (the new products are tagged in green), but our faves are listed below:

 
 

Multi-Use
Archimoon K: Designed by Philippe Starck for FlosŪ, Archimoon K has both muscle and delicacy. It's adjustable arm makes it versatile: use as a task lamp or for bedside reading.

Dioscuri: This is the upscale tabletop globe lamp, designed by Michele de Lucchi and made substantial with hand-blown glass, thermoplastic resin, and weighted steel.

Spun Light: Sebastian Wrong's 2003 design for FlosŪ is so simple it's genius.

Task
Gloss: Designed by SF's own Pablo Pardo, We've long admired the highly adjustable Gloss and are pleased to see it make R&B's catalogue. Use for either task or ambient light.

Orbiter: Robert Sonneman's retro-sexy 1967 reading light makes a statement in the bedroom.

Ambient Only
Gatto: Giacomo Castiglioni's 1960 design looks like the inspiration for some hipster vinyl toys we've encountered at Giant Robot.

Check out Ikea's version of the Dioscuri, Fado, for a fraction of the price.
