I don't know how I've managed four years without a real lamp in my living room, but now I've had enough of the darkness. I tell myself that I need a lamp for the party in a week, and went looking for some yesterday and today. I had a lamp in mind, but the design was very unaccommodating - it's a lamp that is suspended some 90cm below the ceiling. I counted that the space I have is approximately 60cm, so I couldn't get that one.
Just for interest, it was a lamp designed by Tapio Anttila made by a Finnish company Keraplast. At least Kodin1 sells them. I was ready to pay 350€ for some hundreds of grams of acrylic, but no can do. Onto the 2nd choice!
So we went with my mother to look at the other lamp I had in mind. I don't know the designed or producer, but it was quite a simple round one. But the problem with that was that the lamp was really heavy, and it attaches to the ceiling with screws - I don't trust it to not fall and potentially cause great damage.
I want to get a lamp that has a layer of glass or acrylic beneath the bulbs so that the light doesn't blind anyone, not even children. That limits my options quite a lot. We went to Stockmann today and there were hardly any lamps that hide the bulbs. Another thing I want is for the lamp to have many bulbs since my living room is approximately 20 square meters, I need a powerful lamp.
I went for a walk with a friend today, and they had an extra lamp that fit my specifications. It's not something I would buy necessarily, but is a good match for now. It's called Bene, by Innojok. They have another even simpler lamp called Sole : I'm thinking that I'll buy that one if I don't find anything better within a reasonable time.
But I'm dreaming and browsing the web for interesting lamps. The best are way over my budget. This is my current favorite: Diamond by Morosini. Too bad that the price, 800€, is somewhat more than I'm willing or able to pay. It's amazing how much a simple piece of fabric can cost!
