The article states the bed has built in back lighting, but there also seems to be a bedside lamp attached to the headboard. Anyone know what kind lamp that is or is it actually part of the headboard?

I can't remember the name of the bed but it's from Ligne Roset. As is the bedside table.

Oh man, I had such a crush on Phillipe Sr! He was so gorgeous and did fantastically important work. His loss was a tragedy for the whole world. I'm so happy to see that there is Phillipe Jr.
