apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Grandma/industrial chic--what's not to like?

I see lots of knitted everything lately. I do not this these meeting UV rated codes here in the USA.

The idea is very cool but the actual result isn't particularly interesting or attractive.

I actually like this but am suffering in general from the general design overkill of cozies-for-things-that-do-not-need-cozies. Enough already. It's enough to make me want something with antlers.

I love this, and I couldn't' give you a reason why. Maybe I'm a sucker for a good photograph ....

"too literal" ??

I don't get it.

i may be biased because i make crocheted lamps but i just adore these. if you like these, check out my interpretation:

I don't see where I'd personally get much use out of them. meh.

I thought it was a jump-rope ... now, that might be hot!

i think these would be AWESOME hanging in a few long, draped strands over a bed as reading spot lights. cosy, cute, and good spotlighting for a book. love love love.

No.

I sort of like it, but I'd never have it in my house because it reminds me of some creepy crawly creature watching me with its one eye.

I like it. And the photos are very nice

I thought it was creepy-ish at first, but warmed enough to them to contact the designer. This is actually their 'Matt' lamp, and they say it's still in the works, but their actual 'Ray' lamp is for sale. That one is larger and doesn't have the one-eyed effect. http://www.llotllov.de/product/ray.htm

love it
esp because it avoids the macrame octopus look I've seen on Etsy

Um...fire hazard?

guido, is that supposed to be some kind of slight?
