Designer Advice:
With its sophisticated look, this piece offers a great option for lighting up your hallway or bedroom. We recommend placing it on a console table and pairing it with vintage books and candles. If you’re a fan of the macabre, you can complete the ensemble with an abstract or modern spine-tingling artwork with a metallic or red palette.
Tribal Skull Lamp

Crafted in resin, this skull light base sports tribal inscriptions that are embedded into the piece. The skull acts as the entire base and supports the empire-style shade in black. While the skull itself doesn’t light up, it is illuminated by the bulb above.
