This isn’t the first time designer Amber Lewis has collaborated with Four Hands, but it does mark her first lighting collection with the Austin, Texas–based furniture brand. Created alongside the brand’s Vice President of Design Adam Dunn, the debut spans nearly 50 pieces—from sculptural table and floor lamps to sconces, chandeliers, and pendants—plus the brand’s first-ever bookshelf lamp, the Calla.

Defined by voluminous silhouettes, organic shapes, and richly tactile materials like mappa burl and marble, every item is meant to be layered and mixed, and it all leans into Lewis’ signature warmth. While the Los Angeles–based designer worked closely with Dunn to bring this collection to fruition, they found some shifts in lighting trends in the process. From the unexpected places designers are now placing lamps to why overhead lighting is falling out of favor, we’re taking notes and excited to shop.

Bigger is Better Bedside

Lewis: Oversized lamps are definitely having a moment, especially in more intimate spaces like the bedroom. I personally love a big bedside table lamp and find it pleasant and grounding. It brings more light into the space.

Matchy-Matchy is Starting to Feel Dated

Dunn: I think layering lighting is really important, but I also love a strong central piece. I usually start with that statement fixture, then layer in different shapes and styles around it—I’m not into everything matching. Mixing bold pieces with smaller accents just creates more depth and interest.

Let’s Hear it for Table Lamps—in the Bathroom

Lewis: No one really likes overhead bathroom lighting—it’s all about how the light hits your face in those moments. I’m way more into using a table lamp instead. It sits right at eye level, so the light hits your face straight on and gives you that nice, confident glow.

Add a Little Light in Unexpected Places

Dunn: I think lighting is moving beyond traditional placements and into surprising moments, and it’s cool to play around with what works best for the way you live. I personally like table lamps on kitchen counters, or subtle light woven into bookshelves.

Go For Multiples Over the Dining Table

Lewis: A series adds a certain glow that really just makes the space feel cool and elevated. It’s also a bit unexpected, but of course, I would never say no to an eye-catching chandelier above the dining table.

Your Home Office Deserves Vintage

Dunn: The best way to light a home office is with a mix of reading lights, floor lamps, and task lighting on your desk. I tend to lean vintage; it brings character to what can otherwise feel like a pretty utilitarian space, and makes it somewhere you actually want to spend time. Like any other room in your home, it’s all about layering to create warmth and interest.
