Funghi Lamps by Metalarte

We're going to file this under "on the fence" for the time being, because, though we love the shape, we don't really get why it's made of porcelain. To us, lamps have always made more sense when the l...

Can Anyone Identify This Lamp?

We've fallen in lust with this lamp that we saw yesterday (we've found a lot of things on Emma's blog, but, of course, not the image we were actually looking for). It looks familiar, but we're drawin...
