A few years back, it was no simple task to find a sleek and stylish lighting fixture that was also energy efficient. Thankfully, that’s changed. Many countries are beginning to outlaw the use of incandescent bulbs, inviting designers to shift priorities and come up with beautiful yet energy-sipping fixtures. Energy-efficient  halogens now exists, as well as numerous options for really cool chandeliers, pendants, table lamps and floor lamps. Here are a few that caught our eye:

The Wagashi designed by Luca Nichetto and Massimo Gardone can be used with either an incandescent or fluorescent bulb. It can also be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Manufactured by Foscarini. http://www.foscarini.com/it/

The Tian-Xia Halo designed by Carlotta De Bevilacqua combines fluorescent and halogen bulbs for reduced energy consumption. Manufactured by Artemide.
