You like a bit of tradition but you also like a contemporary twist - then pick a Pringle wall fitting! Made in solid brass and with a lovely wall rose that features six steps of increasing circles, it also features a traditional wax collector just below the bulb holder. Neither showy nor timid - just very stylish. Top it off with a beautiful lampshade and you'll have a stunner.

We spend hours messing around with lampshades, trying all sorts of new and wondrous materials to see how they transmit light through them. And in our opinion, there isn't much that beats a humble rattan lampshade for casting a beguiling glow. The light pools warmly beneath but it also sneaks out gently through the little gaps in the weave. Beautiful it is, we thinks.
