CHI Good Questions: Amy Butler's Bedside Lamps?

2008-03-26-lamp.jpgKristina sent us an email: "There's a feature in the December issue of Blueprint on Amy Butler's home, and I'm dying to know about the wall lamps around her bed (there isn't any info that I could find). I'm assuming they're insanely expensive, but either way, if anyone knows what they are, and maybe even know of an affordable alternative (though still plug-in and silver), I'd definitely appreciate knowing because googling it hasn't turned up much in the way of results. Thanks either way!"

Tolomeo makes similar silver wall mounted lamps, but are not the most inexpensive choice. Here is the extendable version ($330) and the smaller pivoting version ($155).

Can anyone ID the exact lamps for Kristina or make other suggestions for a more affordable alternate? Please let her know in the comments below...

That looks like IKEA bogspröt wall lamp. From the IKEA 2004 catalogue.

It totally is. I guess that's a bummer, since I don't know how I'd get my hands on one (or two) now, so many years later.

What, exactly, is going on with the person, and the head, and the cat print? My eyes cannot understand this picture.

Kitty! :)

(chellebird, I believe it's a photo of the magazine proper, with head and neck in the crease)

chellebird - it looks like it is scanned from a magazine, and that is the crease doing weird things to her head.
