Ieva Kalēja’s Mammalampa Lights: Statement Pieces Room by Room

Ieva Kalēja, founder and designer of Mammalampa, Riga, Latvia

Ieva Kalēja came home to Latvia after studying in Milan and started Mammalampa with her sister. She pairs rich materials with raw ones: gold leaf inside rusted steel, marble with crystal, braided paper and hand-painted canvas.

“Let one Mammalampa piece lead the room and keep the rest quiet.”

Our rule of thumb

Over dining tables and in entries

The Queen is a rusted steel dome gilded inside with gold leaf, so the light below is warm. Hang the Large or XL over a dining table or in a double-height entry. The Duchess pairs marble with crystal for a smaller table or a powder room.

Bedrooms and soft corners

  • The Bride: braided paper pendants in three sizes, light enough to hang over a bed.
  • The Bride table lamp and floor lamps for a bedroom corner or a reading chair.

Living rooms

The Sisters are hand-painted canvas shades as pendants or a floor lamp, and The Queen Double floor lamp anchors a sofa wall.
