Yummy Yummy Lamp

This amazing lamp is a unique blend of industrial modern kitchen wear. The shade portion of the lamp is like a dish cup that one can find especially at the super bowl as sauce dishes. Its form melts in a tutu like silhouette that can also be seen on things like melted records and vibration diagrams. I personally love the way that the photographer or designer played with the size of the lamp by placing them at different heights in different locations, it makes you wonder if the lamps are really different sizes. The boxes were also a nice touch in my opinion adding enough detail that I could image the kind of space that the lamp would go into but also just enough mystery that it can really be used in numerous designs. Simplicity is also a key element for me and is crucial I think for most designs. This lamp defines simplicity by giving complex form on what looks like an “easy” design.  Over this lamp is graceful and sings to me in a way. I can see industrial through its material non ornamentation. I can also see how this is modern through its cold wash of color and the photographer’s eye to detail.

I love your post! Your attention to detail is wonderful and I find myself asking all of the same questions you are. These lamps are beautiful and the photographer or designer does help you place the setting for the pieces by creating a scene with the boxes and height differences is another detail that helps further define the scene as well.
