The other day I wrote a post over on Freshome about the most fabulous lighting collection by Zenza. The lights, which are made from silver-plated copper, have been punctured with thousands of tiny holes that create stunning effects when the light filters through them and casts shadows on the surrounding surfaces. I absolutely love those lights and how intricate and beautiful they are.
And then I stumbled across these Bud lampshades by Desinature, which, whilst they are nowhere near in the same league as the Zenza lights when it comes to craftsmanship or sophistication, I also find very appealing due to their simplicity. Bud is an elegant panelled lighting system made from six identical laser-cut birch plywood elements. Delivered flat-packed the wooden light is easily assembled in minutes and I think it would look great in a number of different interior design schemes.
What do you reckon? Could you see this lampshade in your interior?
These Bud lampshades from Desinature are ace. Yes, they are nowhere as intricate as Zenza’s but they are a lovely alternative for people on a budget. I think it also adds a summery feel to the household.
Wow, that sounds lovely. I wouldn’t have a clue where to get a copper toilet seat though. Have you tweeted the question. I bet someone on Twitter would know!
the view from underneath looks like a fashion logo – very cool, they would go in my dark copper downstairs loo… I went all out with copper tiles, chocolate coloured walls with an enormous sun mirror – need to find a copper loo seat though! Know anyone?
