This lamp sculpture (because, indeed, it certainly goes beyond just a shade) comes courtesy of German design studio llot llov. The structures of old lampshades are joined together to form a new patchwork-like lighting fixture. So, what do you think?

You can see some of llot llov's other lighting below the jump...

We do like these knitted rope lamps, though. Who knew rope could look so cozy?

See more of their work and installations at their website.
