The Knitted Lamp


Every now and then I come across a piece of design that immediately makes me jump straight to my studio and start recreating. The knitted lamp by French designer Phillipe Tyberghein is a beautiful idea rejecting the modern textures of sleek cables and covering them in a lovely knit.

Nobody likes cables, and as a designer I am constantly surrounded by a nest of ugly shades of white and black shiny wires - when all I needed was to knit them a cover. I'm currently figuring out how to knit such a tiny long sock to neatly cover my laptop cable - I think it may take me some time! In the meantime I may order the Phillipe Tyberghein lamp instead.
