Ray

Once in a while I stumble across products I feel really conflicted about – and this lamp, Ray, from the Norwegian designer Kristine Five Melvær is just like that. My first impression of this is that it reminds me of a strange structure that someone has threaded old stockings over. The textile makes me think of skin and old ladies, and the shape is like a mix of a hat and a mushroom. But then again I like this weird idea of putting on cloths or skin on a structure like this, and I cant help but to adore this strange looking lamps.
