The moon has long captured the imagination of designers, offering a reference point for softness, glow, and quiet presence. Across lighting and furniture, its influence appears in rounded forms, reflective surfaces, and names that nod to its enduring pull. This week’s selection brings together pieces inspired by or named for the moon, each one offering a subtle sense of atmosphere through material and design rather than literal expression.
MOONSTONE
Giiopato & Coombes
Moonstone by Giopato & Coombes is defined by a considered interplay of surface and diffusion. A handmade fiberglass body finished with marble dust creates a softly mineral exterior, while a thermoformed element with a hand-applied Battuto finish filters light into a gentle, textured glow. The result is atmospheric rather than bright, with material choices that recall stone, shadow, and the quiet luminosity that gives the piece its name. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes.
MOON
Space Copenhagen
Designed by Space Copenhagen, the Moon Table collection explores surface and finish through solid wood construction. The oak tabletop rests on a sculpted base with a beveled profile, giving the table a grounded yet softened presence. Available as round and oval coffee tables as well as generous dining tables, the collection spans multiple scales while maintaining visual continuity.
MOON PENDANT
Verner Panton
The Moon pendant, designed by Verner Panton, is constructed from concentric aluminum lamellae. The layered structure creates a shifting play of light and shadow as one moves around the fixture, echoing the moon’s changing phases. Suspended in space, the pendant delivers ambient light with a sculptural presence. Available in three sizes.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
Piero Lissoni
The Dark Side of the Moon coffee table turns laminated extralight glass into a striking visual experience. Sections of colored glass in varying widths combine to form a low, bridge-like surface with a kaleidoscopic effect, ranging from bold strips to more muted gradients that shift with light and viewpoint. This multilayered glass top and sides embody a playful, atmospheric interpretation of lunar inspiration.
MOON WALL LAMP
Entrelacs
Crafted by Entrelacs, the Moon wall lamp combines patinated cast bronze with a luxurious alabaster diffuser. When illuminated, the natural veining of the alabaster becomes visible, producing a soft, elegant glow. The contrast between the weight of bronze and the translucence of stone reflects the balance between solidity and light that defines lunar inspiration.
