Product of the Day!

From: Design House Stockholm Designer: Harri Koskinen Block Lamp: Harry was educated in Helsinki at the Institute of art and design. He has received acclaim from the Finnish industry sector, which recognized him as a talented designer with brave new ideas. ...Today, the block lamp is a design classic, renowned all over the world and recognized with several design awards. The Block Lamp was introduced in 1996 and has been part of the Museum of Modern Art in New York's collection since 2000. I am pretty sure I am way behind the times on this one, but this lamp is so cool! It was in the store when I showed up today and was informed that it's been around for a while. I have never seen a lamp so simple and innovative. It completely challenges what we know as a lamp while still having the basic function of a lamp, to light. Beautiful and a great floor highlight piece.
