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.

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....

oh lordy, I love lamps too . That's not my fave though but I can see its appeal.

trixymalixy · 21/10/2008 22:11

I lust after those artichoke lights.

It'll be the first thing i buy when I win the lottery .

shopaholicDIVA · 21/10/2008 22:12

wow, how much?
rather pay off my mortgage
may be then
its beautiful though, got some taste.

mazzystartled · 21/10/2008 22:12

no norms are £70 or so, £50 for a small one
you have to sit and construct them yourself, like origami, its fun
[we have one in our front room]

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...
