The simple cylinder is a perfect starting point for a beautiful object carved from stone, not a material that immediately springs to mind when talking about lighting.
Spanish architect and designer David Lopez Quincoces, however has made it a stunning reality with his Silo pendant lamp.
Available in both classic Bianco Carrara and in the warm dark tones of Pietra d'Avola, it gives off a beautifully soft and seductive light. It can be configured either as a single lamp or as a cluster, or, for a real showstopper, it comes as a chandelier composed of 26 separate lamps.
