Trawling through etsy again, this bold orange orb table lamp from the 1970's caught my eye.

This style is now everywhere in modern lamp design and I hadn't realised it was a classic form the age of bell bottoms, Bay City Rollers and disco!

As an antique, this lamp is a one off, but I think I'd reather have the real thing than a modern copy.

Modoluce Lost Table Lamp

Stumbled across these wonderfully original table lamps from top italian design house modoluce.

The overall style reminded me a bit of Hannah Nunn's lamps but with less of a crafty, organic feel and more of a sleek urban look.


Called "Lost", these table lamps have a satin finished nickel base and a cloth shade with lycra cover available in a range of single colours.

Again, I think this is modern design at its best - simple, elegant and suitable for use in any home.

What Were They Thinking? #1

Whilst trawling through a few online table lamp shops, I stumbled across this horror:

Would anyone really have one of these (or perhaps even a matching pair) in their home or has it been manufactured purely for themed restaurants or hotels in the mid-west of the USA?

Words can't begin to express the sheer hideousness of this table lamp come cowboy boot and I won't embarass the store by naming them.

Awful...

Etsy Finds #5 - Modern Square Wood Table Lamp

Wooden table lamps are a special favourite of mine, so when I spotted this wonderfully simple wooden lamp, I had to feature it here.

Made by Atomic Attic, this table lamp appears to be constructed by layering square ply board sheets and then smoothing the outside faces before varnishing.

The finished lamp is very effective especially when paired with a simple square lamp shade.

This is just the type of lamp which would sit sell amongst our other wooden table lamps - I may be in touch!
