Anni Table Lamp

Ripples spread across the shade as though somebody dropped a pebble into honey.

The Anni table lamp is by Oly, in metal, resin and amber. Cast resin has become a favorite of contemporary lighting designers because it carries color and texture much as glass does, at a fraction of the weight. The shade is a solid amber block, its face cut with concentric rings that catch and bend the light from within. It sits atop an open cube frame of polished metal rods, roughly as tall as the shade itself. It is 11.75 inches square and 25.5 high.

Switched off, it still looks faintly lit, out of habit.
