The stockholm-based design studio Form Us With Love contends that “lamps are like people; They are happiest in families.” The sentiment is certainly true for their eponymous pendant lights. The three forms that make up the happy Form family (Cone, Globe and Tube) are handblown in shapes inspired by bare light bulbs.
The affordable lights are sold individually as opposed to being sold in sets that you can choose what combination suits your space and taste best. A row of three or four of the Tube pendants works just as well as a 25-piece cluster of all three shapes combined. “With very modest means and simple forms, Form Pendants can make a big difference in an interior. There is almost an infinite number of possible combinations.” [ design house stockholm ]
