Yes, summer is almost over, but never fear: Liberty London, the renowned British print house and retailer, is bringing its classic floral patterns to the lighting category just in time for fall. The new collection of table lamps is a collaboration with Danish furniture, lighting, and accessories giant Hay—the first product collab between the two brands—and will be displayed in Liberty's iconic shop windows during London Design Week. The lamps, which start at $255, will officially be available online starting tomorrow. Glass floor lamp

Each of the five patterns in the collection were handpicked by Mette Hay, Hay's co-founder, and are rendered as pleated lampshades on a brand mainstay: the Matin lamp, designed by Inga Sempé. “The shape brings a certain freshness to the patterns,” Hay tells ELLE DECOR. "Liberty had never applied their patterns to a pleated fabric before."

The patterns selected are Mitsi, which features a colorful cherry blossom motif; Betsy Ann, a smaller-scale version of Liberty's classic Betsy floral; Ros, a pansy print; Ed, a rosehip pattern; and Cherry Drop, a fabric adorned in colorful cherries. Hay says she was drawn to patterns with “a mix of Liberty's playfulness and a certain edge.”

Like many, Hay has fond memories of visiting Liberty over the years—including buying the first dress for her daughter's—so the Matin lamp collaboration feels significant. “I felt very honored when Liberty placed its first Hay order,” she recalls. “The thought of our collection being on display there was rather humbling... it made me proud.”
