Postmodern Lamps

Have a look at these gorgeous postmodern lamps by Lewis and Clark. Please read an Extract from their site:

Specializing in post-modern and modern furniture design, Clark llefson, principal designer and owner of Lewis+Clark, constructs furniture through a culmination of process with exploration into ideas, color, texture, and materials. As a result of this combination, one can find a finished piece of furniture by Ellefson that is functional, modern, artistic, and completely individual. For Ellefson, the common perceptions of all to familiar furniture objects are stretched and turned into extraordinary and avant-garde art objects. Whether living with or working with Ellefson's furniture, the viewer is invited to interact with and extract from their involvement with such functional and artistic objects, an experience that alters one's perception of object, space and reality.

Art Deco Lamps and Cakes

Art deco was a popular international movement from 1920 through to 1939 and it incorporated many different styles including: Modernism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, Cubism, Constructivism and Futurism.
I will probably be coming back to Art Deco frequently as its pure purpose was to be decorative and that is exactly the kind of thing that I am in love with.

Tiffany Lamps

Tiffany lamps are characterised by a stained glass shade paired with a bronze base. The stained glass shade consists of pieces of stained glass soldered together with copper foil to create beautifully ornate patterns.

Tiffany Lamps are considered part of the Art Nouveau Movement and were first designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1899.

A Passion

Design is a passion for me - anything from lamps to cakes as the name of the blog suggests.

I am in love with the ornate and what two better objects than lamps or cakes which aside from their obvious function serve to be wonderfully, intrinsically beautiful just for the sake of decoration.
