Electric Guitar Lamp


Gonna tear it up with some wicked licks late into the night? Round out the house band with this stylish lamp, amped up with a real electric guitar. A bold black-and- white body spotlights the beautiful curves and fine-tuned details, while mod touches define the brushed-metal base and black paper shade. Uses one 100-watt bulb (not included). 62"H; 10' cord with UL listed-listed foot switch.

Organized pretty simply, The Style Files, quite incidentally, also has one of our favorite blog header images of all time. With a nice white background, the large photos of the posts stand out well, and though the site does featuring advertising it doesn’t take away from the original content.

There are categories like: ceramics, christmas, design, diy projects, dutch design, eco-design, etsy, events, fashion, flooring, food, furniture, home accessories and more.

Kids Day

Everyone in the company came into work to find their computer monitors vandalized with crayon scribbles. To promote “Bring Your Kids To Work Day,” childlike art was hand-drawn on acetate sheets, which were trimmed to fit the screens. Building security secretly unlocked over 500 offices the night before so the acetate sheets could be affixed to everyone’s computer monitor.

Headline and copy text: “Bring your kids to work day.”

This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Sections!

We found a number of furniture pieces and accessories that involved different segments in today's newest items from 1stdibs. Some are actual individual segments that come together to make a whole, and others are visual segments that appear to create a whole. Either way, these pieces prove that you've got to work together to achieve something great!

1) Eleven section de sede non-stop organic sofa
We love the way this over-sized sofa looks like eleven separate pieces. It gives a fun, exciting feeling without being too cluttered. Can you imagine having that many pieces to a sofa!
Price: $11,500
Dealer:
Phillip Thomas

2) "Trico" Unique 6 Drawer Chest by Roberto Rida
This is a chest of drawers that features six separate drawers to make up the whole dresser, but visually is looks like a lot more. The addition of mirrors and complicated drawer pulls makes this piece look a lot more visually complicated than it really is!

Donzella

3) Spherical suspension light
We love how all these small pierced steel balls come together to create one dynamic lighting fixture! Individually, they just wouldn't have the same impact in a space that they do now that they are all combined together!
Price: $7,900
Dealer:
Phillip Thomas

4) 19th.C. Plan of Paris
This is one of our favorite examples of many pieces coming together to create a whole! We just love how these 20 framed prints, when hung close together, create one large, wall-sized map of Paris! So fun and flexible!
Price: $6,800
Dealer:
W Gardner Ltd.

5) 1930's Keith Murray Pottery
These aren't actual individual pieces shown in this gorgeous collection of pottery, but you can't deny that with the striations it gives a great visual look, as if there were separate pieces.
Price: contact dealer
Dealer:
Benjamin Wilson Antiques

Don't forget to check out the rest of this week's listings from 1stdibs, where you can find more fabulous, one-of-a-kind show-stopping pieces, as well as a number of other great pieces!

Herzog & de Meuron, VitraHaus

Designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, VitraHaus is a multi-layered structure that recently opened at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany.

Designed to display the furniture brand’s Home Collection, the five-story building consists of stacked volumes with pitched roofs covered in charcoal stucco. Each end is glazed and shoots outwards up to 16 feet (5 meters), creating the impression of a pile of houses.

Pantogar: Memo pad

Losing hair gradually is a problem people tend to neglect. A specially designed memo pad is made to engage people with the problem of hair loss. As users tear off memo sheets every day, the illustrated person’s “hair” becomes thinner and thinner, alerting them of possible hair loss. They then remind them to face the problem before it is too late and that Pantogar revitalizer is the best solution.
