A Painfully Self-Aware Lamp

By Mark Wilson on October 22, 2009 at 11:40 AM

Does the average lamp know that it’s a lamp? Verner Panton’s Wire Table Lamp, shaped like a very classy light bulb, seems to be aware of its place in the world.

The reissued design originally debuted in 1972, and consists of a simple wire frame topped with a plastic dome (available in four colours!). And if it weren’t for the $US1200 price tag, we might consider making one ours. (Ha! You thought this thing would be cheap? Since when is mass-producible metal and plastic cheap?)
