Andrea Anastasio isn’t your typical Italian designer. An academic first and creative second, his life’s quest has been as much a search for knowledge as it is for self-expression. In recent years, he’s dedicated himself to mastering the evocative language of light, a pursuit that has drawn him into the creative orbit of Made in Italy darling, Foscarini.

The arrival of winter can often bring with it feelings of gloom. This year, however, we'd like to propose something different: that we conquer the onset of darkness with rich interiors that resonate wellbeing and warmth. It's in this spirit that we’ve pulled together a quick guide to the very best designer lamps.

Design is about experimentation — a constant investigation into the ways we can live better with those we love most. It’s in this inquisitive spirit that we bring you our Autumn Trend Report: a helicopter view of the textures, shapes and ideas bringing contemporary homes to life.

To help you get back around the table with those you love most this autumn, we’ve teamed up with Fritz Hansen to offer a special 6 for 5 deal on two of Jacobsen’s most iconic designs: the curvy Series 7 and the sporty Grand Prix.
