Firefly Lamp

Firefly

Firefly is a lamp that can be used both on a wall and on a desk. The lamp is made with an opaque glass globe and a wooden base shaped by lathe turning. A rod of 20 millimeters in diameter connects the globe to the base, and the globe rotates 360 degrees, so the lamp also suits sloped ceilings. Two light sources are included: a low intensity light for use as a nightlight and a second light under the globe for reading. The total height is 350 millimeters. The form recalls old lamps used indoors before electric lighting.

Firefly Lamp by Mahya Hoseini was featured as an innovative example of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Firefly Lamp won the Bronze A' Design Award in Lighting Products and Fixtures Design in 2025. The A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which recognizes outstanding design of chandeliers, pendant lights, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps, outdoor lights, recessed lights, track lights and more.
