Cult Classic – ‘The Joker’ Lamp by Le Klint

Posted on July 20, 2009 | Leave a comment

the_joker_lamp

Designed by Christian Ræder in 1970. The hand folded PVC ‘Joker’ Lamp stood apart from previous Le Klint creations with it’s more open and edgy form. Personally I would have called it the ‘Bat Lamp’ rather than ‘The Joker’ with it’s Batman-style wing imagery as the base for its design.

Available in both black and white from Designer Lights

“Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!”

Posted on July 2, 2009 | Leave a comment

beach_ball_lamp_shade_by_toby_house-front

This hot weather in the UK must be having an effect on me as I am really taken to these retro beach ball inspired lamp shades!

TobyHouse, a London-based interdisciplinary interior design firm, has developed a lamp shade full of summer whimsy. Talk of the town at the 2009 Milan furniture fair, there’s no denying the immediacy of the associations most of us have with the form. All are made with authentic beach balls made rigid with a resin.
