'Angle' table lamps and 'Triangle' pendant lamps by NZ-based Workroom Design
I am LOVING LOVING LOVING these new lights by NZ-based design team Workroom Design. HOW great are they!? In actual fact the 'Angle' table lamp has been around for a while, but the lovely 'Lean' floor lamp and 'Triangle' pendant lamp are brand new - launched just last month! I heart them massively. So rare to see new freestanding lamps designed and manufactured locally! With their quirky scandi aesthetic and *Wallpaper magazine-esque styling, it's only a matter of time before these sweet designs hit the bigtime.
Workroom Design was established in 2008 by father and daughter design team Douglas and Rebecca Snelling. They also run a fabulous little retail store in Auckland called Douglas & Bec (I have covered once before), which stocks their own designs and other like-minded finds - including, I notice, pieces by South Australian design darlings Daniel : Emma!
Most excitingly, Douglas & Bec have just launched a fantastic online store - so those of us across the ocean can get in on the action!
All the beautiful lamps pictured here are handcrafted in NZ using American Ash timber, spun aluminium shades in a range of colours, and beautiful woven fabric flex cords. Need. Want. Now.
What a beautiful shop! Gorgeous lighting but it also has such great gift wear. Thanks for sharing this!
wow, i LOVE these! thank you for sharing x
amazing!
Thanks for sharing, these are beautiful, simple and artful. I love when designers put thought into every aspect of a piece – those lovely woven cords make all the difference.
Great minimalist aesthetic! The shiny yellow inspires me to design some fun table lamps in bright powder-coated colours. Cheers :)
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a great job with this.
In addition, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome.
Exceptional Blog!
Normally I don’t learn post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very pressured me to try and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, quite nice article.
