Flickr Finds: Artdsgnr's New Lamp

12-14-artdsgnr.jpg

Portland resident Matt (aka, Artdsgnr) scored what looks to us like a Spun Lamp, but swears he didn't pay retail. He adds that he had to re-wire it. Still, great find, Matt!

(You might remember Artdsgnr's place from this Flickr Finds on AT:NY -- and from our How To: Turn an IKEA Lack Shelf Into a Media Console.)

Thanks, Artdsgnr!

I never thought it possible to fall in love with a lamp. The first time I saw "spun" (at DWR) ... I swooooned. Great lamp and to get it below retail. Cool! I've searched the web and that lamp is the same price everywhere.

I've never heard of a Spun lamp, but CB2 has 2 lamps in very similar styles

Ada table lamp - $59.95 - white base/white shade, 13" diameter 25" height
Kane floor lamp - $79.95 - brushed nickel plated base/chocolate shade, 15" diameter 59.75" height

IKEA's Kulla is the way to go if you're on a budget:
Look! Kulla Floor Lamp. No complaints and only $89.

I like the media console - where's it from?

I liked this apartment from the first time it was posted; Matt just keeps making it better and better. Still really love that hacked IKEA media console; I am going to have to give that a whirl myself one of these days.

Realgone, the shelving unit with the poster on it is also from IKEA. It's from the Norrebo line. Solid birch, beautifully made. I have it floor to ceiling in my studio, and it looks fantastic!

"I like the media console - where's it from?"

Maybe I should read a little bit more carefully. On the way to IKEA today!

Hey, thanks everyone for commenting!

fuzzball - I know how you feel... love the lamp, but never could have justified it at the retail price. Amazingly, my local DWR advertised it in a floor model sale on Craigslist at 70% off... the light socket was fried, and it was kind of challenging to take apart, but I rewired a new socket in there for about $4!

aaron - I second you on the Kulla, great similar look for that price... was gonna get one myself if this hadn't worked out.

rasabasa - the poster was bought from youworkforthem.com a few years ago... limited run, but they usually have some other cool work up there at any time.

what's the treatment on the walls and ceiling? I love it, and it's not on the previous sets of photos...
