Eero Aarnio Swan Lamp

042908_0020_GROUPsmall.jpgWe've always been drawn to objects inspired by natural forms; soft curvalinear lines that mimic an organic shape are naturally pleasing to the eye and usually sidestep the coming and goings of trends (because nature is always in style in our book). Eero Aarnio has had a long history of fashioning his designs directly from nature and his new Swan is an elegant example of this understanding of form...

 
 

The Swan has a rotationally moulded plastic body that scatters light beautifully. It is also lighted with an energy saving compact fluorescent bulb like the larger Double Bubbles. Unlike the Double Bubble, however, Swans come in three colours: black, yellow and opaque white. The Swan will be available from Design Eero Aarnio.Com starting April 2008.

I do hope they make versions for the US market as I'd not mind the swan lamp myself - in yellow.

It kind of has that 70's mod thing going to it's design.

The 2 bubble light are way cool too.
