The third space of this series of posts about Ikea RANARP – is the master bedroom of Bri Emery, the blogger behind the popular lifestyle & design blog Designlovefest. Bri has collaborated with her good friend Victoria, another popular blogger from sfgirlbybay to makeover her bedroom.

The result, is a relaxing space that breathe Scandinavia, in the softest grey and pink.

By the way, totally love the Round Dorm shelf with leather strap from ferm living too.

{ Ikea Collectibles } The Ranarp Lamp in Dominique Brammah and Ashley Ryan’s Home, Sydney (Part 2/3)

The second home which I spotted the Ikea RANARP lamp belongs to interior designer Dominique Brammah and her partner Ashley Ryan. Dominique works with Sydney design firm Aren’t and Pyke, and her taste is evident in how she has decorated this sunny rental apartment in Bondi, Sydney.

This is her cheerful home featured in The Design Files, besides using the RANARP lamp as the bedside lighting, the retro-looking black and white striped armchairs seen in their living room were actually upholstered in Ikea fabric! (read her full interview with The Design Files here)

{ Ikea Collectibles } The Ranarp Lamp in Jaime Lee’s Home in Queensway, Singapore (Part 1/3)

Powder coated in matte off-white, with the oh-so-in-trend brass-coloured details and a cloth covered black and white cord – The RANARP series has totally captured my heart. In my opinion, this is one of the best lighting design Ikea has produced in recent years. The series comes in a work lamp (SGD 79), and a floor/standing lamp (SGD 99) in Singapore.

Probably not the cheapest lamp in Ikea, but this is such a versatile and timeless piece that I think everyone should stock-up one or two =) especially if you are a fan of Scandinavian design like me.

I’m sure you can find plenty of pretty images of interior styled with RANARP lightings from the internet.

Today I’m just going to share 3 fabulous homes which have impeccable style, and also spotted to have used RANARP lighting in their spaces. Kill two birds with one stone, right?

First up, we have an apartment in Queensway, Singapore, which Jaime Lee shares with her husband. They are the owners of The Paper Bunny, a Singapore-based online stationary/gift store that also offer custom design and styling services. Head over to their website, and you will agree that it is hard to resist those whimsical prints designed by Jaime.

Their home was featured in the lilreddotfolks, and that’s where I spotted my beloved RANARP floor/reading lamp.

Moooi Bell Lamp and Lolita Lamp

July 27, 2014July 27, 2014Leave a comment

Moooi was founded by Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers in 2001 and it is now one of the most famous design firm specializing in lighting, furniture and textile. Moooi is named after their native Dutch word for beautiful — with a third ‘o’ for extra value in terms of beauty & uniqueness.

The Dutch firm’s design style is always described as avant-garde, daring and playful, as you can see from their many iconic pieces such as the horse lamp, Heracleum, Random light … etc

For me, I have a soft spot for everything that comes in pastel colors, or a bow.

So it is no question that I find the Moooi Bell Lamp by Marcel Wander and Lolita Lamp so charming and adorable!

♥ Bell Lamp by Marcel Wander ♥

Year of design: 2012
Material: Mouth blown glass, ceramic bow
Colour: Available with gold plated or white glazed ceramics

The bell represents a very early and essential form of communication, generating a welcoming ring that brings people together for festivities and congregations.

Different from all the exposed bulb lighting that are learning towards the style of raw and industrial, the Bell Lamp is refined, luxurious and pretty. I really lust for one for my dining room…

{ Lighting Moment } Panthella Lamp

The Louis Poulsen Panthella Lamp designed by Verner Panton is one of the most iconic modern classic piece.

Designed by Verner Panton in 1971, this milky-white acrylic lamp is versatile and works exceptionally beautiful in modern, Scandinavian or eclectic interior.

It’s definitely in my wish-list of designer lamps :)
