Sometimes the most random things can make you stop and take a closer look at an interior. For me, I’ve been obsessed with Vico Magistretti’s Atollo lamp for years – since I first laid eyes on one, probably in a magazine. My introduction to Atollo within a home environment was a long time ago, when I was writing about a property in Royal Circus in Edinburgh and the owners had a pair of these lamps in black. That was it for me. Designed in 1977, this lamp is a classic; a perfectly sculptural piece. Personally, I would choose this in black, as here, but the design is no less beautiful in opal Murano glass.
