Light up your home with these dazzling new lamps and their vintage prequels.

CONTEMPORARY OFFSHOOT
Inspired by human anatomy, the
Cleveland firm Objeti used ball-socket joints at both ends of its
three-foot aluminum-and-LED Twiggy lamp; the technique gives it a
360-degree range of motion.

Designed with Charlotte Perriand for
his La Maison Tropicale prefab house, Jean Prouvé's 1950 Potence lamp

sacrificing floor space.
