The "Fall of the Damned" Lampshade

Filed under: Decor

Although I can appreciate the artistic message and a certain ominous beauty, I honestly have no idea why anyone would hang this "the fall of the damned" lampshade in their home -- it's downright creepy. From a distance it appears as an interesting and intricate ornament, but up close the shapes focus into individual bodies twisted in fear as they fall to their doom -- frozen amidst shadows and plays of light from within. By Luc Merx for the mgx 'Private Collection,' the detail and feeling evoked by this piece is remarkable. Available in white only and in a limited edition of only 40 pieces, it's priced at $46,200.

Bourgie Lamp

Black lights are often only put to use around Halloween, but this particular rendition of the concept - an entirely black light, as opposed to a black light bulb - is suitable for year-round use. The Bourgie Lamp was designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell. Though it at first appears to be a fairly traditional baroque-style lamp, it is made out of high-quality, transparent polycarbonate, so the light shines through the entire piece. If black just isn't your thing, the lamp is also available in clear. In either color, the height of the lamp can be adjusted to 27, 29 or 31 inches. Price: $287.
