MY DH has declared his ETERNAL LOVE FOR A LAMP

louis poulsen by poul henningson. A design masterpiece.

Could he not just find any old Ikea lamp?
Sorry, forgot, we dont HAVE ikea here. Now he talks about how to furnish our house with lights. And have led lights embedded in the floor. And lights that turns on and off by sensing body heat.

I despair.

He should have kept himself to mad cycle rides.

This is the ikea one slightly cheaper.

It looks nothing like it.

It is utterly gobsmackingly beautiful
your dh has great taste
It is f* all like the Ikea ones
You might be able to persuade him into a norm 69 instead

He has actuallly been looking at that one as a cheaper alternative. It is only a couple of hundred pounds. even that is a lot to spend on a lamp....

no norms are £70 or so, £50 for a small one
you have to sit and construct them yourself, like origami, its fun

It would make a statement. Not sure what that statement would be. I have to think about that.

I am too big for my house/boots.
I have more money than sense
We are design connouseurs

Your DH does have exceptionally good taste (but you knew that already)

My DH, very design orientated but practical said lovely but a bugger to clean...
