Light loving

Pablo - tube light, Claudio Saccon - Roma table light

Shopping around for table lamps, I encountered many with stacked gourds. So you could break off their tops to use as anal beads in the heat of passion? The Claudio Sacoon lamp caught my eye. A shard of glass carrying a glow, it symbolizes what a home is, a cosy hideaway from the sometimes cold world. However, it wasn’t as striking in person so either I saw a variation on the theme or as online dating has shown many, pictures lie. I eventually settled on Pablo’s tube lamps for their sky blue to cheer up my headboard and for their clean lines. They even come with dimmers so I could set the mood from canteen lunch to candlelight dinner. I’m thankful that while inventors freed us from the fickleness of fire, some artists recaptured what we lost in liveliness with lightbulbs through designs that cradle them.
