Sometimes only a bird-shaped lamp will do. On those days, you could do no better than call upon Belarus design studio Fajno, and its Marina’s Bird collection of ceiling and freestanding lamps. Produced in a range of deliciously natural materials including wood and glass, these beauties are specially designed to swoop across age and gender boundaries with wild abandon – nesting equally comfortably in playroom or pantry.

If you’ve ever wanted a chandelier but weren’t sure about all the associated bling, may we suggest you furnish your room with a family of friendly feathered friends instead. It’s like getting a pet, but cheaper.
