Last year, The Killing inspired an unlikely passion for patterned jumpers. BBC4's series Borgen from the same Danish studio is inspiring a crush on lamps. Taking up the baton from Mad Men – a showcase of 60s lighting styles – Borgen seems to have a funky lamp in almost every scene. Here's a selection of the best so far – and ideas on how to get them.
1. (Above) These ceiling lights are modelled after the Artichoke, made in 1958 by Danish designer Poul Henningsen. An original costs several thousand pounds; reproductions from £250.
2. This fabulous wooden lampshade, with the look of a half-peeled apple, hangs above fictional PM Birgitte Nyborg Christensen's kitchen table. Danish designer Tom Rossau makes similar ones to order.
3. Birgitte's son's bed basks in the gentle glow of this clamp-on spot lamp. Ikea's Krämare design is not dissimilar, and costs just £6.99.
4. This beautiful two-tier lamp brightens up journalist Katrine's kitchen. It looks a lot like the "flowerpot pendant" created by designer Verner Panton in 1969; yours for between £177 and £589.
5. You may find an original 1950s Danish lamp like this one at auction – or for an approximation try Marks & Spencer's Conran wooden-stem table light, at £119.
