I apologize in advance. For many of you who read our little site, you might have noticed how we usually post things available in the US, and try not to stray too far over the pond, as shipping rates and times can get a little ugly. But, as our readership grows, so too must we. That being said, I also must admit this post stems mostly from selfish reasons.

I love this lamp. It’s a prime example of an elegant, functional object. (If anyone knows of a US retailer, please please let me know)

Designer:David Taylor

height: 460 mm
Diameter: 190 mm
Bulb: 60W E27 (40W globe bulb incl.)

(Only for the European market. Others on request.)

I’m totally in love with Jasper Morrison’s Glo-Ball series, but I was unaware until now that there is a mini version (3.5″h x 4″w) of his lamps available. This would be perfect right by your bed or in the livingroom.

“This acid-etched and hand-blown wall, ceiling, or table lamp provides diffused light and consists of a flashed opaline glass diffuser and white injection-molded PBT base. 25-watt halogen G9 frosted bulb included.”

Now this is a closeout special, so if you like what you see, you better get a move on it and buy it before everybody else snaps it up. Seems like a good deal to me…the only drawback is it’s just available in light pink or light blue polycarbonate. Sorry if you don’t like those two colors.

“ON/OFF is not operated by the usual switch on the electric wire, but by a movement of the hand which moves it into its two positions of balance. It can be placed on a table, bedside-table or floor.
If dropped or knocked it does not break, because it is made of soft thermoplastic.”

6″W X 5″H

Loveliness! If I had the money, I’d buy it without a second thought.

“Winner of the Design Plus Award. Two stamped wooden veneer sheets, mounted to a pattern which lends them torsion and dynamism, make up the shade of the Mikado lamp. The stamped wooden strips design in the air a shape charged with sensuality, as well as adding an overall lightness to the piece and creating interesting plays of light and shadow. The strips give the shade a volumetric richness that change according to the viewing angle. Mikado is also available in suspension and floor versions.”

Reconstructed wood veneer. Low energy. Bulb included.

so pretty…

A small(er) yet still completely clever lamp with a nice affordable price tag.

“The design derives its name from its construction process: an aluminium sheet is subjected to multiple folding in order to create the traditional motif of the product. The reference to the tradition of lighting design is evident in the silhouetted form of the Fold lights and in the application of a braided fabric cable. Taylor’s subtle references to the traditions of lightng design become all the more potent when it is revealed that the Fold light is heavily reliant upon the newest technology and munufacturing techniques for its construction.’I like work containing honesty with regard to construction process and thought. I think the product should tell its own story and once your thoughts have to be explained then something within the design is not working,’ says Alexander Taylor.”

40w, 100w, 150w.

I figure as long as I posted one thing over $2,000.00, I might as well post another. And I do have to say, the only reason I would post a lamp for this much money would be because I had no other choice. I love this lamp. Love with a capital L. Like hold a gun to my head and maybe even then I would have a hard time releasing it from my grasp.

Handmade of all acrylic material.

If you need a nice smallish natural linen shade lamp, you’re in luck.

Natural Linen Shade included

18″ OAH x 8″ Diameter shade
60 watt max.

Kinda retro/futuristic, which ain’t a bad thing, and who doesn’t need a little color in their life?

“Artemide has revisited Nessino, the mini version of the Nesso table lamp, the icon of the 60’s and included in the MOMA 20th Century Design Collection in New York. Molded transparent polycarbonate body in your choice of five translucent colors.”

As you may know, I’m currently fascinated with hexagons and therefore can’t quit thinking about this handmade lamp. It is made with every attention to detail in materials and workmanship and is available with either a lucite or walnut base and a polished nickel stem.

Designed by Shiro Kuramata, these k-series lamps are definitely a unique accent to any room. They look like little ghosts to me, which makes me like them that much more, but to those of you less creatively inclined, maybe they’ll just be cool cloth-like lamps.

“The lighting fixtures that he developed in 1972 give an impression of a white cloth placed on the ground. It represented a revolution in lighting, with each of the light shades differing slightly in shape from the others. The light appeared as a piece of cloth rising of its own accord, seeming to defy gravity, while successfully replacting the image of a cloth with light itself. Every piece is individually formed. The process involves four craftsmen, who are specially trained to shape this unique design.”

k-baby floor/table lamp: 16″w · 16″d · 15″h, $450.00
k-mama floor lamp: 23″w · 23″d · 21.5″h, $650.00

Here’s a nice lamp with a decent price tag. You’ve got three sizes to choose from and, if the mood strikes, you also have the option of some neat patterned shades (not shown here).

Solid linen or printed silk shade. Brushed nickel finish base.

This lamp has a great shape and a price that’s not hard to swallow.

“Classic geometry and proportion in smooth hardwood. White fabric drum shade. Bulb not included. 100W. UL listed. White (shown) or chocolate.
14″diam shade x 23″h. “

Ooo, pretty.

“The Lighthouse lamp represents an ancient idea in light projection whereby light rays are transmitted through a lens to create a single brightly focused beam. Lamp is also available with a sheer fabric that reflects the light and diffuses it, providing both up and down lighting. The lens offers 360 degree rotation with a fully dimmable halogen light source. Bulb included.”

Nice effect.

“The oversized Bloom Pot serves as both a plant holder and an outdoor light, containing four long-lasting LED lights, which provide more than 40,000 hours of use. Deep enough to hold large plants and flower groupings, the lightweight and weather-resistant pot can also be used indoors as portable accent lighting in lobbies and restaurants. When lit, only the color of the pot and light are visible; not potting material. Low voltage 12v transformer. Made in The Netherlands.”
