Today we will continue our talk about unusual lamps.
This is Kokoro, a table lamp. It takes part in the collection MaMo Nouchies by Ingo Maurer. It is very similar to a fantastic bird, is not it? We can even call this bird a phoenix as well. By the way, the designer has spent at least 10 weeks to make this, as well as all the other table lamps. If you know this fact you will definitely look at them with even bigger respect.
These lamps belong to Carlo Catellani who organized his own company Catellani & Smith. He was born in Parma, and has got acquainted in Spain, on island Minorka, with his future partner, architect Smith. Three years later, they have decided to organize the company and to be engaged in manufacture of lamps under the brand Catellani & Smith. All their works are unique and are made by hand.

Do you consider yourself to be a puritan? If not, you will definitely like these love and romantic floor lamps that were created by a Singapore designer that has his own brand Daniel Loves Objects. In fact, these floor lamps are just mannequins, or you may consider them quite ordinary figures of people. When looking at them you are fascinated and somehow inspired. These lamps are really beautiful! They can resemble ordinary people stand still in strange poses, people who are wearing golden clothes.
Some people will not certainly put these floor lamps into a children’s room. Someone may think that these lamps are more appropriate for the bedroom of adults, as it can add some passion to the relationships. In fact, these figures are naked, but I have not to worry that such a lamp will be seen by your parents or children. Figures do not have faces and sexual organs. These lamps are just simple sculptures, works of art. And still such floor lamps will be a fine gift for a newly married couple or for an anniversary of your own wedding.
