As we’re reflecting on 2014 and wondering how the year passed us by so quickly, we’re also pondering how we’ll be ringing in the new year in just a few days. Year after year, we’re faced with the ever looming question: what will I wear?! My obsession with minimalism has me leaning towards something a bit low key. But no matter what, there will always be a party on my feet.
The Lost Girls
Anglepoise Lamps
After I recently scored an Anglepoise lamp at a garage sale, I dug a little deeper into its history and was so fascinated, that it made me appreciate my little cool desk lamp even more. Designed in 1932 by British automotive engineer George Carwardine, the task lamp utilized a new type of spring which would remain in position after being moved in any direction. Several years later George designed the amazing Giant 1227 Floor Lamp, of which only four were made. At one point one was actioned and purchased by Tim Burton to be used in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Now, an updated version of the Giant 1227 is being sold by Anglepoise in several colors . . . hopefully, my next purchase.
