“In all my lamps, I try to have two bulbs so I can have maximum brightness when I’m working on a project or cut in half for a dinner party. For practical purposes, we need a lot of light for reading or working. But, for atmosphere we need to reduce the wattage and add a few candles.”

Uninhibited brushstrokes bring a casual elegance to this classically shaped double gourd ceramic lamp. Generously sized, it’s a perfect to invigorate a desk in a home office or side table in a living room. It melds easily into any style, thanks to the simplicity of the design.
