At David Village Lighting, our team spend every day surrounded by design icons and contemporary classics, so it is no surprise that they develop favourites along the way. This month’s Staff Picks come from Gemma in our Trade Sales team, whose top choices blend elegance, personality and technical brilliance.


Here are Gemma’s Top Five…


Moooi Heracleum III LED Suspension

Moooi Heracleum III LED Suspension

“This light is truly beautiful and makes a stunning focal point. I love how the electrical current flows through a conductive paint, keeping the design sleek and delicate without the need for extra wiring. It is such a clever mix of technology and artistry.” – Gemma

Designed by Bertjan Pot for Moooi, the Heracleum III uses an innovative conductive coating to illuminate each delicate leaf without visible cables. Its organic structure and soft LED glow make it both sculptural and serene, a centrepiece that feels alive.

HAY Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant

HAY Nelson Bubble Saucer Pendant

“The photos of this range do not do it justice. These pendants are so much more beautiful in person. With their iconic, classic design, they bring a real sense of timeless elegance and are definitely on my dream wishlist.” – Gemma

Part of George Nelson’s celebrated Bubble Lamp series from 1952, the Saucer Pendant has a soft, rounded form that diffuses light evenly through its polymer cocoon shade. Its gentle, cloud-like quality adds mid-century warmth and calm to any room.

&Tradition Flowerpot VP9 LED Portable Lamp

&Tradition Flowerpot VP9 Portable Lamp

“I have this one at home and it gives off the loveliest soft, warm glow. It is portable too, and I have actually taken mine on trips because it makes any space feel cosy and familiar.” – Gemma

The portable version of Verner Panton’s iconic Flowerpot design brings the same 1960s charm in a cordless, rechargeable format. With three brightness levels and a warm, diffused glow, it is perfect for creating atmosphere anywhere, indoors or out.

Flos IC Floor Lamp

Flos IC Floor Lamp

“The slim profile of this floor lamp makes it perfect for smaller spaces, and it has such a delicate, classic beauty. I love the balance between the opal glass sphere and the brass stem, it feels sculptural yet understated, a true design icon.” – Gemma

Designed by Michael Anastassiades, the IC Floor Lamp explores balance and precision, with a perfectly poised glass globe that seems to defy gravity. Its refined simplicity makes it a favourite among designers and homeowners alike.

Artemide Yanzi 1 LED Suspension

Artemide Yanzi 1 LED Suspension

“I love the playful nature of this light, with its little bird-like forms perched along the frame. The contrast between the soft, warm glow and the clean black lines creates such a striking and contemporary look. It is a piece that always makes me smile.” – Gemma

The Yanzi Suspension by Neri & Hu merges minimal structure with poetic design, featuring brass and glass birds perched in delicate balance. It captures movement and lightness, adding charm and warmth to any contemporary interior.


Gemma’s picks highlight the artistry of lighting, where form, material and imagination come together to create something more than illumination.
