i found these "sketch lights" offered up by studio beam today via the contemporist. how fun are these?
studio beam actually makes these sketch lights by hand. silver soldered with a powder coat finish. oh, and you can order a colored cord too (and why not order the cord in an opposite color of the light for more fun?!).
i think that these lights offer both a sense of humor in how they resemble objects such as fans but they also offer a sense of structure and contour and a minimalistic approach to lighting any space, residential or commercial. enjoy!
