Do you remember the cute little piggy lamp on Amelie's bedside table? Or the dynamic curve of the Arco floor lamp in Iron Man's house?
Or have you perhaps been impressed by the aboundance of retro table lamps in the Bond films of the 1960s and 1970s. In a movie or TV set, the choice of lights and lamps can tell us a lot about the characters living the space and add architectural interest to the scene, whether it is an eye-catching vintage Cobra table lamp in Maurizio Gucci's sophisticated office in House of Gucci, a sculptural Danish pendant lamp hanging from the ceiling in Borgen, or M's Poul Henningsen desk lamp in Quantum of Solace movie.
While most lighting setups in the cinema are made using studio lights, stage movie props (providing additional lighting) such as table lamps, floor lamps, candles or even torches can be incorporated to enhance the mood of the scene.
