Habitat - My How You've Changed!

There was a time (mid 90's) when Habitat was a watch word for boho style, with a fusion of contemporary artisanal products with more traditional, ethnic pieces.

Those days are long gone and looking at their current offering, they have placed themselves well and truly at the contemporary end of things.

This Ribbon lamp is a case in point.

Here's what Habitat say:

Ribbon-inspired metal table lamp. A design that mixes curves and straight lines in sleek coloured powder coated metal. The striking form was perfected using a continuous strip of paper; the result is a unique table lamp that casts reflected light from within the polished surfaces.

Frankly, it's not my cup of tea at all and falls into the "trying too hard" school of design that seems all too prevalent these days
