I think this little white lamp is absolutely darling! I don't know that the artist was going for "darling" when it was originally designed, but it has a definite air of quiet smooth classiness as well. Created back in 1972, surprisingly it would almost fit better mixed in with modern pieces instead of older ones. Said to have been inspired by the "folds of dropped handkerchief," and made of white acrylic, the Oba-Q lamp measures 16" x 16" x 16" and goes for £135 ($265).
