NY Good Questions: Who Makes This Table and Lamp?

4.15chairlamp.jpgDear AT,

I love the wooden table, blue table lamp and orange blanket next to the blue rocking chair in the feature on Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan in Cookie Magazine.

We have the same rocking chair and I've been looking for a small table and lamp to put next to it.

Would you please send a shopping guide or please let me know the manufacturer so I might source this for
myself?

Thanks! Laura

Dear Laura, Glad you asked and 2/3 of the answer is super easy....

The bentwood ply table is a FROSTA from Ikea. It's great, cheap and can be used in many ways - as stool, table or even footstool (with the legs cut down).

The orange blanket is cotton and inexpensive and comes from Calypso Home in many colors.

The lamp is from Marston & Langinger's shop SoHo that recently closed. It's a British design that they were selling at a great discount and I bought four of them. You can see closeups here.

I wish I could tell you more about these lamps. They were sold there and similar ones at Room and Board (bought those too), but they're all discontinued AND they don't have a brandname on them so I can't even track the.

Does anyone know who makes these lamps?

I think it's the BTC Hector lamp:

I bought the same one from Anthropologie a few months ago when it was on clearance. They had the pleated-shade one recently, but I don't see it on their site anymore.

The table is actually a stool designed by Alvar Aalto. You can find them on numerous websites and would bet that there's some cheap knockoffs floating around too. Good luck!
