Israeli designer Dan Yeffet has paired a blown-glass top with a marble base to create this statuesque floor lamp.

Dan Yeffet's Torch Lamp comprises a vase-like base with an opaline diffuser that peeps over the top.

A stretched glass bubble sits on the base and doubles the height of the light, designed to rest on the floor.

"The original brief was to create a unique lamp with noble materials, up-to-date design, a timeless style and my design signature," Yeffet told Dezeen.

"Both marble and hand-blown glass are noble and timeless, classic yet exciting, and integrate beautifully into any style of interior."

The lamp is available with a white Carrara marble base and a transparent glass top, and a black Marquina marble base and a grey smoked-glass top.

The marble is shaped using computer numerically controlled (CNC) technology and finished by hand, and the glass is hand-blown.

Additional floor lamps, shelf lights, small tabletop lights and bowls also made from marble and glass will follow to form a collection of similar products.

"When I started to build the idea in my head, creating initial sketches, I instinctively thought about what it could be and what other objects might create a dialogue with it, so a collection started to grow and take shape almost immediately," said Yeffet.

The designs continue a revival of marble in contemporary furniture design that Dezeen noticed during Milan design week in April. Pieces unveiled during the event included a table collection by Scholten & Baijings, vessels by Lee Broom and a version of Alessandro Mendini's iconic Proust chair.
