I first set eyes on the work of Sydney artist Paul Davies and his paintings of modernist houses whilst looking at Obsessilicious, it was love at first sight!

To see more from his collection go to the Tim Olsen Gallery:

Cindy lamp as beautiful as Ms Crawford!

l_karcindy1

Cindy is a table lamp by Ferrucio Laviani, designer of the now iconic Bourgie Table Lamp, for Kartell.

With its conical shaped lamp shade and round teardrop base it has a distinct 1970s look.

The retro appearance, though, is brought right up to date with Cindy’s chrome like finish in a variety of rich metallic tones : gun metal, violet, flamingo, tangerine, platinum, mint green, ultramarine and gun metal (shown left to right in the picture). These gorgeous colour shades add a touch of lustrous glamour to Cindy too and radiate a multitude of iridescent reflections.

Available from Utility Design:

Cindy has good eco credentials also and uses an energy saving light bulb.
