Unique, organic lighting was everywhere last month during Milan Design Week. This year’s fair spotlighted elongated, undulating lighting designs that prize movement, texture, and materiality. As noted in this Architectural Digest trend roundup, such pieces often “reach for the Moon” and evoke a sense of natural growth and organic fluidity. This new wave of lighting far surpasses static fixtures; it encourages us to explore more sculptural and expressive forms that echo the curves and lines found in nature. Below are seven organic chandeliers, pendant lights, and other fixtures that capture this trend.

Seven Elongated, Organic Light Fixtures Inspired by Milan Design Week 2025

At Milan Design Week 2025, this trend toward organic, elongated lighting was impossible to miss. The designs ranged from delicately knitted lamps at the Swiss Pavilion to the architectural, nature-inspired fixtures presented by Dutch studio Rive Roshan at 5Vie.

As noted in the Architectural Digest article referenced above, these pieces emphasize “verticality and delicate shape,” pushing the boundaries of traditional lighting to evolve past functional objects. Instead, they are dynamic, sculptural elements that redefine how light interacts with space to create a sense of movement and organic growth.

#1 Il Pezzo Mancante Gold Round Chandelier from Artemest

Embodying the elongated, organic forms that dominated Milan Design Week 2025 but with an architectural edge, the Il Pezzo Mancante Gold Round Chandelier from Artemest is first on our list. Though the slick, high-shine metal makes this piece more structural and polished than others on our list, the Il Pezzo still reminds us of glistening raindrops clinging to slender branches. That dichotomy of material and form captures the poetic tension between fragility and strength.

Its elongated brass stems cradle solid, hand-cut crystals that seem to hover mid-air, their translucent forms catching and scattering light with a delicate glow. Handcrafted in Florence, this piece feels almost like a suspended moment in time. On a practical note, it is perfect for high-ceilinged spaces where its graceful verticality and unique shape can truly shine.

#2 73.8 Random by Bocci from The Future Perfect

Evoking the airy, organic forms seen at Milan Design Week 2025, the 73.8 Random by Bocci resembles a cluster of glowing, billowing clouds frozen in midair. Each pendant in this installation is made by blowing molten glass into heat-resistant fabric, creating rippling, textural forms that seem to float on their thin, nearly invisible cables. The effect of this intriguing process is ethereal yet substantial. Each unique, crinkled piece casts a soft, diffuse light from its flat LED core.

Perfect for high-ceilinged spaces or stairwells where the varying drop lengths can create a cascading, atmospheric effect, this chandelier captures the interplay of light and texture that has defined some of 2025’s interior design trends. We would love to hear from you: does this piece remind you of floating clouds, paper lanterns, or something else entirely?

#3 Daniel Becker ‘Dune 4V’ Suspension Lamp in Anodized Aluminum for Moss Objects from 1stDibs

Designed by Berlin-based luminary Daniel Becker, the Dune 4V Suspension Lamp feels like a smaller, more fluid cousin to the undulating aluminum curves of the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City (as pictured below). Its anodized shades ripple like desert sands caught in a gentle breeze, with each individual piece reflecting light in soft, shifting waves.

This effect is heightened by the warm, integrated LEDs, which cast a gentle, ambient glow through the folds and curves. We see the Soumaya, but you might see ocean waves, glittering shells, or twisting pieces of armor.

With its modular, sculptural design, the Dune 4V can be configured vertically, horizontally, or in free-form arrangements, which makes it perfect for high-ceilinged spaces or modern interiors where light and shadow can play together. Like the museum itself, this piece captures the tension (and teamwork) between organic form and polished precision. Place it in a client’s space as art installation or functional lighting.

#4 Akari Lanterns Alabaster Infinity Pendant Lamps, Style B from Perigold

Less vertical but no less striking, the Alabaster Infinity Pendant Lamps from Akari Lanterns remind one of the gentle curves of a meandering river or the winding branches of an ancient tree. Made from polished alabaster, each piece has a soft, translucent texture that glows warmly when lit to reveal the veining and character of this material.

The twisting, tubular forms feel both organic and vaguely architectural. They might remind you of the elegant, flowing lines of a calligraphic brushstroke or the raw, serpentine movements of a river cutting through rock. Suspended on minimalist cables, they appear to float mid-air.

For an even more organic feel, consider one of the undulating infinity pendant lamps with leather straps.

#5 Delphi II Wall Lamp by Aver from 1stDibs

With its slender, upright form and softly glowing quartz orbs, the Delphi II Wall Lamp by Aver feels ancient and mysterious. Inspired by the Oracle of Delphi, this piece blends the raw beauty of hand-blown glass and the ethereal quality of white quartz.

Arranged along a dark, metal spine, the quartz pieces almost feel like polished river stones balanced on a narrow branch or an illuminated fairy path in the forest. We adore the striking contrast between the organic irregularity of the stones and the precise, linear form of the metal frame. Perhaps a bit esoteric for residential lighting, but we find the Delphi to be a fitting homage to the push and pull between the known and the unknown, the earthly and the divine.

#6 Light Knit by Cecile Feilchenfeldt and Karla Huff

As featured in the Architectural Digest round-up on Milan Design Week 2025, the Light Knit by Cecile Feilchenfeldt and Karla Huff is a striking example of this new wave of textile-based lighting. It appears to capture the movement of wind through a finely netted veil. This piece is part of the Homo Faber collaboration, which celebrates the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

The Light Knit’s fluid, organic form allows light to filter through its delicate, interlaced structure. In doing so, it casts soft, dappled shadows that seem to drift and dance across nearby surfaces. They are fully open to interpretation; some may see peeled vegetables, others stacked stones, others coral, and still others faceted jewels.

Ideal for adding texture and warmth to minimalist interiors or making a statement in more eclectic spaces, this piece perfectly captures the tactile, handcrafted quality that defined this year’s fair.

#7 Felt “Apaya Ponyo” Floor Lamp by Aqua Creations from 1stDibs

Crafted from hand-pressed Merino and Mohair wool, the Felt Apaya Ponyo Floor Lamp by Aqua Creations has a soft, statuesque presence that shifts as you approach it. The Apaya Ponyo’s undulating form feels almost alive—like whispering grass, a gently swaying strand of sea kelp, or a tumble of turkey tail mushrooms on the trunk of a tree.

The felt is carefully wrapped over a transparent cylinder to impart the piece with a glowing, organic quality when illuminated. Each lamp is individually handcrafted, which means that every piece is one of a kind.
