While studying, all evenings are mostly spent at the desk with a lamp. My lamp was harsh, Soviet-made, with a big switching button and metal shade of warm grey and green colour. I decorated the shade with stickers, laid out my jewelries on this wide button. The lamp brings me sweet memories from my childhood, but it was a pity to hear from my family that it doesn't decorate the interior. At the end, I put it in a closet and started looking for a new one.
And the best idea, I think, is to find a ceramic lamp — this warm material brigns coziness and may have any design. Here're photos of ceramic lamps you may like.

It's hard to ignore vintage and antique ceramic lamps that provide high-quality design. See some items from the antique salon of Tarquin Bilgen:
China, 1880s
China, 1910s
France, 1950s
Italy, 1950s
You see, they look very up-to-date and stylish. An important role is played by an excellent state of preservation and possible restoration works.

And my favourite one — Marta Bordes. Elastic bands allow to move the shades:
