Roundup: Chevron's Goin' On
I spotted this Black Zigzag Lamp ($185) at Emilia Ceramics, a San Francisco-based ceramic import shop, and felt a revived love for chevron patterns. The contemporary lamp is handmade by Mexican pottery studio Talavera Vázquez in the city of Dolores Hidalgo. I've been drooling over Madeline Weinrib's cotton flatweave zigzag rug ever since I saw it, but aside from that, I've never felt much affinity for chevron/zigzag patterns.
Love It or Hate It? Seven Rats Table Lamp
In general, I think German lighting designer Ingo Maurer can do no wrong. But in the case of his Seven Rats Table Lamp ($4,680), which depicts seven plastic rats locked inside a steel, gold, brass, and plastic cage structure, I think he's done bad all by himself. If you like caged-rat art, and you like art in lighting form, then this is for you!
Roundup: Industrial Pendants
This minimalist kitchen, featured in Marie Claire Maison, is memorable in large part due to its charming, industrial pendant lights. The kitchen is the perfect spot to add a more industrial look to your lighting; after all, it's a hard-working space, especially for those of us who love to cook.
To add some industrial lighting to your kitchen without spending gobs of cash, consider the CB2 Industry Pendant Light ($199).
Desire/Acquire: Philippe Starck's Miss K Table Lamp
If I were to purchase every Philippe Starck design I've fallen for, I'd be bankrupt — in a killer house. I already do a good enough job spending money I don't have without the French superstar's help, so really there's got to be an easier way to achieve his design style. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I doubt Starck would mind if I snatched up a stylish red lamp inspired by his Miss K Table Lamp ($360, on sale for $288).
Crave Worthy: Anthropologie Chateau Lamp
Anthropologie has done it again. The Chateau Lamp ($1,598) is every little girl's dream, but I also believe I've seen it myself during REM sleep. This palatial wirework rendering with curlicue turrets, squiggly eaves, and a floor of book leaves is not only a dollhouse of sorts (with a mini table, set of chairs, and glass and bottle of wine inside!), but also a table lamp!
Steal of the Day: Anthropologie Newton Lamp
When it comes to chandeliers and floor lamps, I like to buy statement-making pieces. But since the average living room has, I'd say, three table lamps, it's good to keep them subtle and noncompetitive. The Anthropologie Newton Lamp ($99.95, reduced from $198) is just the thing.
Love It or Hate It? Droog Milk Bottle Lamp
Those out-of-the-box designers at Droog are back with an interesting idea in lighting: milk bottles. The Droog Milk Bottle Lamp ($207) is made from a milk bottle, stainless steel, and a 15 watt bulb. Minimalist, cheeky, and unusual.
Steal of the Day: CB2 Stage Floor Lamp
I'm looking to add a little height to my living room and I'm on a white kick, so the CB2 Stage Floor Lamp ($99.95, reduced from $149) might just be the thing. It puts a cartoonish spin on the traditional stage light, making it a great conversation piece. The lamp is a bit tongue-in-cheek, which I love; people should be more light-hearted about their furnishings.

Guess What This Lamp Is Made From?
This metallic shade's floral patterns create cutout mosaics that look gorgeous when lit up. Can you tell me what type of metal was used to create it?
