Its a simple thing, a lamp, and (one would hope) a functional one. But this one is also just so attractive that it brings me a simple kind of happiness every time I notice it. For that alone Im giving it a wholehearted endorsement, even without consideration as to its actual purpose (which is, of course, to illuminate ones space). But heres the really delightful part its really quite good at the lighting things up part of being a lamp, too. Which is to say, buy one of your own because you cant have mine!
