Just when you thought it was safe to walk down the street and not be accosted by more knit lighting fixtures, WHOA!, a new one pops up - even bigger - in the window at Michele Varian. We actually love these. They remind us of an earlier, kinder era and echo the new Leran pendant lighting we saw at IKEA last weekend...

The earlier ones we saw were from Amy Adams at Perch! Design, but this one seems to be from somewhere else. We expect we'll see a lot more of this type of thing in the year ahead if it turns into a full blown trend.
