Cult Classics

Lights.ie presents timeless lighting icons for modern interiors

Fulda, 8. January 2026 - Cult Classics stand for designs that remain relevant for decades and characterise spaces with their presence. When it comes to lighting design, the trend is characterised by clear silhouettes, sophisticated surfaces and versatile shapes that work reliably in a wide variety of styles. Lights.ie relies on materials and colours that radiate durability - from chrome and gold nuances to marble and travertine. This creates lighting icons as harmonious constants in the interior, far removed from short-lived trends. They combine tradition, modernity and craftsmanship to create lighting objects of lasting value.

Timeless elegance in sophisticated gold finishes

Elegant shades of gold lend classic and minimalist shapes a warm sophistication and a subtle depth that looks sophisticated in any room. Depending on the finish - gently brushed or clearly polished - a subtle shine is created that discreetly emphasises the lights without appearing dominant. In combination with materials such as glass, travertine or marble, luxurious, balanced lighting objects are created that harmoniously combine past and present. The highlight: gold remains timeless because it blends effortlessly into both modern and classic interiors. Even familiar silhouettes become modern classics.

Must-have materials for cult lamps: Marble, travertine & onyx

Marble, travertine and onyx give lights an architectural presence and bring natural elegance to the interior. From polished to natural, the materials display a variety of textures and colour nuances, ranging from calm cream tones to striking grains. Colourful marble in particular creates a lively, iconic effect in combination with wood, fabric or metal. Travertine with its warm, open-pored structure provides a grounded modernity, while onyx with its translucent veining creates a special depth. Together they create light objects that are both timeless and sculptural.

Dazzling accents: Chrome from high-gloss to brushed

Chrome in a high-gloss or brushed finish brings clarity, precision and graphic elegance to modern rooms. Its reflective surfaces play dynamically with light and create subtle contrasts that structure rooms and living areas. In combination with stone, fabric or glass, chrome looks particularly expressive and lends designs a timeless modernity. The material impresses with its neutrality, which can be combined with almost any style - from futuristic to classic. This results in lighting objects that are fresh, iconic and versatile at the same time.

Classic lighting effect: Clear glass, opal glass & smoked glass

Glass is one of the most universal materials in lighting design and characterises the cult character of many iconic lights. Opal glass provides soft, even light, while smoked glass creates depth and atmosphere with its tinted transparency. Clear glass variants play with reflections and lend a modern lightness to both classic spherical designs and organic shapes. Together with metal, wood or stone, they create harmonious compositions that are both decorative and functional. Glass thus becomes a timeless element of contemporary lighting culture.

Contemporary elegance: Refined silhouettes & classic surfaces

Clear lines, soft radii and balanced proportions define the silhouettes of the Cult Classics. These familiar shapes, often inspired by design icons such as the mushroom shape, are reinterpreted with modern surfaces and materials. Subtle colour schemes - from white, grey and black to powdery shades and beige tones - underline the effortless elegance of the designs. Pendant, wall and table lamps blend seamlessly into a wide variety of interiors and look special and unobtrusive at the same time. The result is a contemporary style that remains durable, accessible and universally combinable.
