Looks We Like

For our very first installment of 'Looks We Like', we've decided to feature these little, hand-blown fixtures from Niche Modern (available at http://www.nichemodern.com/). We are fond of the variety of shapes and colors, as well as the use of unique incandescent bulbs. The craft of such objects seems to suggest a return to products produced according to time honored traditions, and evoke a sense of nostalgia. We believe that, along with an over-inflated passion for all things 'green', we will also see a welcomed return to well-crafted, hand-made objects. At a time when the organic and all-natural craze is ever present in our grocery stores and restaurants, is this same return to 'wholesome goodness' and a lack of 'processing' becoming a trend in modern design? Perhaps. And, admittedly, while we pause for a second and fear the fate of these clever little luminaries in a world rapidly switching out incandescent bulbs for more energy efficient fluorescents, with such a unique design, we do not hesitate for long.
