Number 1 - The Arco Floor Lamp

There was only ever once choice for the number one slot.

100% of the Iconic Lights Team agreed that the Arco Floor Lamp is the coolest light ever designed!

As seen on TV and in movies for over 40 years, it is this ultimate in cool and has been a fashionable design icon since its design in 1962.

This is a must have item for anyone with a trendy apartment or home.

Number 2 - The PH Artichoke

Closely followed in second place is the magnificent Artichoke Light.

Is a chandelier or a ceiling light? Who cares....this light exudes style and is another design icon from the 1950's.

The PH Artichoke is designed so there is no glare from the light source no matter where you stand.

Number 3 - Gino Sarfatti 2097/30

The third place goes to the Gino Sarfatti 2097 Chandelier.

This designer chandelier is another modern design icon. It uses 30 bulbs that are arranged around a central chrome cylinder and with its wires gently curving down it forms the shape of a traditional chandelier.

Definitely a statement piece that will give the wow factor.

Number 4 - Tolomeo Floor Lamp

Wow, we love this light!

The Tolomeo floor lamp is another design icon.

Its adjustable cantilevered arms make the most fantastic noise when you move it and its simple form finished with die cast aluminium

See the light!

Number 5 - Pistillino Light

The Pistillino Light is the little brother of the Pistillo designed by Studio Tetrarch.

The pistillino is another favourite of ours and as it contemporary design and chrome arms are striking even when not lit.

When lit it looks even better with the shadows from the arms creating an amazing pattern on the ceiling.

Number 8 - Poul Christiansen Le Klint 172a

Another groovy light from the free love era of the 70's. This retro light is another true design icon that will finish the retro look in your home or business.

Originally named the 172 giant sinus hanging light, this light is better know as the Le Klint 172a which we think is a slight improvement.

Number 9 - Arco 5 Arm Floor Lamp

This 5 arm Arco is a distant cousin of the original Arco Floor Lamp from the number one slot. Its a 1960's design classic with its five adjustable chrome arms that spring from the round marble base.

It had to be in our top 10 as it so cool.

Have a look.

Number 10 - Head Lamp Suspension Light

Not a true design classic, but this is one funky design that just sneaked into our top 10 because of its unusual design.

The inspiration for these head lamp suspension lamps come from the 'bowling table light' designed by Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi in 1969.

There are three different sizes from small to huge and in two colour choices, gloss white or gloss black.
