In Steely's hands, this 17-inch-tall oil-fueled ship's lamp is no mere bauble; it becomes an architectural element. The sleek stainless steel design “is sexier than an electric light or even candles,” he says. Steely suggests hanging it above a dining table so you can “make a big deal out of taking it down, lighting it, and hanging it up again.” Stelton, 45.39.62.30.55; www.stelton.com.
