Jaipur, the pink city of Rajasthan, lines up its palaces and chased façades under a light that sets every surface aglow. Jean-Manuel Freitas keeps that gleam: a ceramic globe with a metallic glaze, deep bronze or mirror gold, set upon a ringed metal foot. The sphere returns the whole room in its lustrous curve. A cylindrical fabric shade calms the reflection with a matte material. The table lamp comes in several sizes, from bedside to console.
