Our Favorite Lamp From Matthew Williamson's Latest Pooky Collection Captures the Feel of a "Hedonistic Ibizan Marketplace"

With bold, punchy colors and an almost cosmic-like base, it completely flips the switch on bland lighting

Want to know the easiest styling trick that will let you see your interiors in an entirely new light? (Literally.) Yes — it's refreshing your lighting. Sculptural lamps and light fixtures are the secret to energized interiors, and with a lamp from Matthew Williamson's new collaboration with Pooky Lighting, your place will be screaming with personality.

For his third collection with Pooky, titled Balearic Vision, Matthew drew inspiration from the Mediterranean island of Mallorca to create lighting styles that reflect his maximalist interior style. And, true to style, each lamp base, shade, and sconce is beaming with color.

And while all of the designs ooze with energy, there is one we're particularly excited about here at Livingetc: the Cueva Rechargeable Table Lamp, which captures you attention with its irreverent and lively style. It sits somewhere between a sleek light fixture and a lava lamp, and conjures that cosmic quality we're all loving right now.


The outrageously fun lamp base comes in three bright colors — including this bold neon green, a bright pink, and an alluring orange. As for the shade, take your pick from Pooky's collection of over 200 shade styles, including several variations designed by Matthew specifically for this collection.

"I attended the launch event for this collection," says Livingetc editor Hugh Metcalf, "and part of the fun of styling this lamp is the shade choice. I tried a lot of different pairings, and each one gives this lamp a new vibe. You could go for a matching pink base with a pink on pink shade for a color-drenched look, but I opted for a neon green base with a blue and orange shade for a riotous combination that captures that hedonistic Ibizan marketplace feel."

Of course, the Cueva is just one of the highlights from this statement-making collection. Below, I've shared three more light fixtures from the drop that bring the same bold energy.

If you can't get enough of Pooky lighting, check out their recent collaboration with the Novogratz — a 14-piece assemblage of stylish and cordless outdoor lighting. Clever, huh?
