of the classic edison bulb and investigates the capacity for LED sources to spread a softer indirect light.

the first collection is designed by fx balléry, a graduate of the royal college of art in london.
the lamps, which turn away from stereotypes and archetypes of traditional lighting, were on show
at maison et objet in january 2011.

The Wire?? wtf what happend? This is a nice product but please try harder, before finishing it. Good luck, nice and simple strong design!

Very nice.
Probably the wire is not very visible if you use only 1 lamp.
The picture of the booth has lots of lamps in a tiny space and wiring IS an issue.

think para's talking about the wire in the first 2 photos - it goes in at the top when it should be invisible inside the leg.
