Luna Bella Industrial Style Desk Lamp
As one of the most eye-catching industrial style desk lamps we came across while curating this list, we had to put the Luna Bella Desk Lamp from NOVA of California right at the top. Looking more like a sculpture than a desk lamp, the black steel shade and hand-applied gold leaf finish really capture the spirit of industrial style desk lamps that was required to be considered in our ultimate guide.
To envoke the industrial style we were looking for in our desk lamp list, NOVA of California constructed the Luna Bella in a mid-century modern design that mirrors the styling they created back in the 1960s. All parts of the Luna Bella combine to form a glamorous and sculpted silhoutte, even the bulb! The bulb has a noticeable silver tip smack dab in the middle of the gold leaf finish to add to the styling, and it is dimmable as well to achieve different moods.

Gantri Gio Desk Lamp
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so we’ll just let this one do that talking. Kidding, we’ll be happy to add some background, but if you think the Gio Desk Lamp just looks cool, wait until you hear about the production process.
Gantri doesn’t just manufacture their products, they developed their own plastic that is derived from renewable sugar crops that is then transformed into a heat-resistant polylactic acid (PLA) blend, which is finally custom 3D-printed into what you see above. We are having a hard time imagining a better capture in our search of industrial style desk lamps, or industrial in general.
While we can’t get enough of the production process, we need to get into the design of the actual desk lamp. The desk lamp takes inspiration from the revolutionary Italian lighting designs of the 1970s, where geometric elements are seamlessly connected to radiate personality, warmth, and taste.
On top of it’s good looks, the lamp even includes a directional head, so you can get real use out of this masterpiece. It kind of reminds us of a physical realization of digital NFT art!
