The Halgatt collection is a pair of lamps designed by Ilse Crawford for IKEA as part of the long-running collaboration between the designer and the Swedish furniture brand. Created with versatility in mind, the lamps combine simple forms, natural materials, and soft lighting to suit a wide range of interiors. One version features a square ceramic base, while the other uses a rounded silhouette, both topped with linen-covered shades.
Each lamp pairs a ceramic body with a fabric shade designed to diffuse light while maintaining a warm and understated appearance. The collection was developed to feel visually balanced whether illuminated or switched off, allowing the lamps to function as decorative objects as well as lighting fixtures. Earth-toned finishes and classic proportions give the designs flexibility for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and workspaces.
