A distinctive piece of lighting, but the Satin Metal Onion table lamp by Verner Panton comes at a price.
The design dates back to 1977, with the lamp made of satin metal vertical, compressed lamellae to create that 'Onion' shape. The result os something sculptural that gives out atmospheric, indirect light.
Finished off with a transparent wire and requiring a 100W clear bulb for that light, this 80cm tall light is yours for £1,225.
This Momento wallpaper is part of new range designed by Amy Butler for Graham and Brown.
She describes this design as a 'Pop bouquet', a reminder of the fun floral designs she grew up with. The paper certainly has a pretty retro feel, enhanced by the orange and pinks of the flowers, and is a nice alternative to all the overblown floral wallpapers currently on the market.
The rest of the range is worth a look too, including everything from 1930s-style trellis flowers to folk inspired designs.
The paper costs £30 a roll.
