I Last week I guest posted at Life and It's Other Drugs about our new lamp that is a panorama picture of luzern - you can read why we got it and what it means to us on her blog. I'm posting about it here too because..well, it's my blog and I can ;) I did want to draw more attention to the artist though - Hugo Kretz. He has a line of designs from the past year that I'm dreaming of purchasing. I love his idea of "responsible design", or, "solid things that last". He says,
"The design resist trends, with the risk of being understated or even boring. However, the clear goal in my mind is that they are designs which can be enjoyed by their owners now and well in to the future".Well said! (Although, I'm pretty sure the lamp is the least boring thing I've ever purchased :)) (there is one of sydney also, and plans for more..)

That is a seriously freaking cool lamp! And I love that it's a floor lamp rather than a table lamp, making its impact that much more. Go you!
That lamp is amazing - it will be one of your treasured furnishings forever.
I saw this print in an etsy shop today and thought of you:

I need to convince the shop owner to make a print of Rio then I'm going to buy a print for each of the cities I've lived in.

I love it, it reminds me of a lamp that some friends of my parents had in their home sometimes in the mid-seventies....I think it was the New York skyline or something, with a sunset background.
Nice lamp!

Hi Krystal!
I've been wandering through blogs from Switzerland since I'm planning to move there.
I just found yours and after reading some post about decoration and design - areas that I'm passionate about - I remembered a lamp I saw the other day, Amy Lamp, have you seen it? It's inspired in Amy Winehouse (don't know if you like the singer though...). It's in facebook

Keep up the nice work!
