The lampshades of the Dono Lamps look like upended crystal drinking glasses, complemented by stands that look like tweaked dish racks specifically made to fit drinking glasses. Simple, stylish and uber luxurious, the Dono Lamps have a quirky quality that will bring character to any living space.
Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi for furniture company Fabbian, the Dono Lamps are available in either table lamp or pendant versions. The Italian designer created a great balance between cute and creative and sleek and sophisticated. The friendly tilt of each light speaks to the former while the glass and metal materials speak to the latter.
The Dono Lamps make great use of halogen light bulbs, which emit a soft white light that accentuates their rich transparent design.
