Kartell 'Cindy' table lamp

Yesterday, armed with the gift voucher we received from Irene for our wedding present, as well as the money we were given by our friend Jeni (who'd instructed us to buy something nice for our home), we finally made our way to Space Furniture. Of course, we could only actually afford a very small percentage of what is in the store , but we managed to narrow our few options down to a couple of Kartell lamps.

We could afford to buy two 'Take' lamps, designed by Ferruccio Laviani (we liked it in black, and thought they'd make nice bedside lamps). I think this particular lamp is the cheapest item in the Kartell range.

The other option was to buy a platinum-coloured 'Cindy' lamp by the same designer. This particular lamp was $60 cheaper than its usual retail price.

After much deliberation, we decided on the 'Cindy' lamp. The lamp now takes pride of place in the living room, and I must say it looks very classy. Apologies for the grainy photographs - they were the best I could do in this miserable weather!



The damask lamp that was previously here now sits in next to the Barcelona chair in the bedroom. I'll add photos of its new location on a sunnier day!

  2. Ooh, that's nice! I can remember going into SPACE Melbourne and sitting on this really sleek looking metal bench with smooth indents for you to plant your behind. Nothing flash mind you ... but $21K!!! I think I'd rather have your lamp.

  3. Ouch! John spotted a nice little mirrored side table when we were there. I thought the price tag said $1300, but he tells me that it was actually closer to $8000. Crazy...

  4. The lamp looks fantastic ... how lovely to be spoiled in such fine fashion! :)

    The recent gloomy weather has made it a bit tricky to capture beautiful images ... I wonder when the sun will return?
