Kartell Take Lamp: Lightastic!

Published in Home Interior Design |

unique-table-lamp-take

Last week I’ve stared at my living room and thought to myself it’s about time to buy some new items, this stuff needs to get out of here! And what better way to start decorating than with a new table lamp.

That’s why the unique design of the Take Lamp instantly caught my eye; first, its shape comes from combining two joined symmetrical parts: two flat, a rectangular and two- dimensional plates that each one of them assumes the shape and volume of a half-lamp; second, its complex luminous-crystalline light gives the room a cool vibe.
