Nordic Noir Lighting in Dark Shades from Lightology

It’s been said that swapping out lighting is a simple way to make an impact in a space. But adding a fixture in a dark and moody finish? Instant gravitas. Lately we’ve been admiring lighting in high-contrast, noirish hues from Lightology. Finished in shades of matte black, charcoal, and smoke, these table lamps, pendants, and sconces—plus side tables and armchairs from Lightology’s selection of design-forward furnishings—channel Scandinavian gothic in a striking way.
The Brasilia Lounge Chair (from $2595) by Norwegian designers Anderssen and Voll for Menu combines Scandi with modernist design.
The Meta Pendant (from $784.30) by Mexican and Austrian designer David Pompa combines stone and metal for a sleek industrial look.
So tall it can be used on a table or on the floor, the Hebe Large Table Lamp by Ferm Living ($758) has a hand-sculpted base in black (shown), deep blue, or white.
A light fixture with an arresting silhouette: the handcrafted Dome Pendant (left, $2,000), pigmented in black.
Another of Lightology’s furniture offerings, Ferm Living’s Insert Side Table ($885) is made from solid ash.
And for a touch of drama, In Common With’s Ceramic Up Down Wall Sconce comes in a brass canopy and black clay shade combinations (amongst a slew of other options).
