C Mesh: Scott Strickstein's Textural Lamps
ICFF 2009

052109-mesh05.jpgicff-2009.jpgAs Gregory mentioned the other day, ICFF was all about texture. Even objects that did not normally beg to be touched (wallpaper, upholstery, dishes) seemed to have something unusually tactile about them that yearned to be caressed, fingered, stroked. Like these lamps from Scott Strickstein...

Metal mesh is coated with porcelain in a special process and then draped, creating a delicate translucent housing. Not only do the lampshades themselves invite touching but, the filtered light patterns they create on the floor provoke an active interaction with light. For more information, click here.

I once knew a lamp that "yearned to be caressed, fingered, stroked."

I turned it on every night for 12 years. It was like... c'mere, little lamp, I have something to show you....

Nuh uh. No thanks. Maybe if they were a bit more creative, perhaps some 'embroidery' involved?
