Choosing thebetter lighting involves a balance between personal taste, style and functionality.
The importance of lighting points

Objects from the world: Turkish lanterns from One Thousand and One Nights
When it comes to handicrafts, Turkey has a centuries-old tradition dating back to the Ottoman Empire. A special mention among the products of this land undoubtedly deserves the typical handmade lamps characterised by the beautiful work of incorporating coloured crystals one by one into a crystal sphere like a real mosaic: with these furnishing objects, Turkey reminds us that an interior lamp to create a the Thousand and One Nights exists. Each lamp encapsulates the tradition of a job and the history of people whose skills have helped make it unique: the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, one of the most visited places in the world, each year sees thousands of tourists buying these oil lamps as souvenirs. The Turkish lanterns can be placed at different heights, but there are some that lend themselves better to being at ground level, especially the larger ones; others, on the other hand, with or without an arm, are preferably placed on dressers, tables, bedside tables.
La light from Turkish lamps is atmospheric in all situations: even if these accessories originate as indoor furnishing accessories, in summer they are perfect for making a garden or balcony dinner enchanting.
