Pia’s Picks: lamps that bare it all

I like many things, but my apartment can’t fit them all. So, many products end up in my watch list – and here, because you might like them, too. This time it’s lamps that bare their bulbs.

These light bulbs are aesthetically pleasing and make true eye catchers out of lamps. For instance, they can become the face of indefinable little animal like the «Yesmina», or make designs like the «Schila» resemble a flower instead of a blob of metal.

And, without the light bulb, the mouse that looks like it stole something would only be half as funny. The filaments add that certain something to any design. Provided they’re actually visible. In lamps with tinted bulbs, like the «Dome», they look like a flame. It’s quite magical.

The right light can transform any room, and the right design will catch anyone’s eye. For me, the perfect lamp is one that’s illuminating; one that reveals itself as the source of light. There’s enough in this world that I don’t understand. That’s why, at least when it comes to lamps, I go for the straightforward kind.
