Unique Designer Lighting That Transforms a Space

Lighting isn’t just functional, it shapes mood, highlights architecture and becomes sculptural in its own right. At Miko Designs, we curate distinctive lighting pieces that feel considered, refined and enduring. Instead of mass-produced lighting, Miko offers hand-made, and in many instances, customisable lighting.

Below are some of ours, and our customer’s favourite standout pieces that demonstrate how unique lighting can transform your interior.

Orchid Floor Lamp by Marc Pascal

An asymmetrical and dynamic floor lamp inspired by the Japanese art of flower display, ikebana, the Orchid Floor Lamp can be customised to suit your colour scheme. Each hand dyed coloured flower is a unique work of art, with colour and shape working together and singing in harmony.

Why it stands out:

  • Sculptural silhouette with a minimal footprint

  • Soft ambient glow ideal for living rooms and bedrooms

  • A sophisticated alternative to predictable tripod lamps.

Placed beside a sofa or reading chair, it brings atmosphere and vertical balance to a room.

Theia Floor Lamp by Marset

Theia has two faces. To discover them, swivel the fixture around its central axis. It can be pointed towards you for use as a reading lamp, or towards an object or a wall, creating a subtle, indirect light that immediately warms the atmosphere.

What makes it unique:

  • Dual-light effect with reflective interior

  • Adjustable shade for controlled ambience

  • Striking celestial-inspired form.

Theia works beautifully in contemporary interiors, especially those with mid-century or artistic influences.

Bohemia Pendant by Marset

At first glance, the Bohemia Pendant by Marset looks like it’s made from blown glass, but because of its generous size, designer Joan Gaspar cleverly created it in lightweight polycarbonate instead. The result is a beautiful, organic pendant with a coloured outer shade and a crisp white interior, delivering warm, clean light without any unwanted colour casting.

It’s particularly effective:

• Above dining settings
• In layered living room lighting schemes
• In mid-century inspired interiors

Bohemia adds personality without overwhelming a space.

Pleat Box Pendant by Marset

The Pleat Box Pendant combines traditional ceramic craftsmanship with digital design technology. Its folded exterior contrasts with a luminous metallic interior, creating warmth and drama.

Why designers love it:

  • Handcrafted ceramic exterior

  • Gold or white enamel interior finishes

  • Focused downward light perfect for dining tables and kitchen islands.

Hang a single piece for sculptural simplicity or cluster multiple pendants for impact.

Why Unique Lighting Matters

In a market filled with repetitive fixtures, distinctive lighting changes how a room feels. It adds:

  • Depth and shadow

  • Texture and material contrast

  • Visual interest at varying heights

  • A sense of identity.

Whether you’re furnishing a residential space or specifying for a commercial project, considered lighting elevates everything around it.
