apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

From RePlayGround: Dawn [the name of the lamp] is an environmentally conscious lamp. She not only references nature in her sunny shape and color, she is also made from recycled miniblinds. The idea came from thinking about discarded miniblinds and, if reincarnated, what their next life would resemble. In their first life they were used to block out natural light and could expand and collapse. Here, in their new life, they selectively block out and let in artificial light.
