Harri Koskinen’s COSY lamp
Admin | Apr 19, 2009 | Comments 2
This darling of a translucent lamp is the piece to ‘light up’ a mood. I love the heaviness of the glass, which perhaps is the spirit behind the serene feel this lamp can create through the heavy-looking shade of mouth-blown glass.
Designed by Harri Koskinen, a Finnish designer.
Here’s what Koskinen has to say on the design: “The basic idea was to create a lamp series with space and atmosphere. I put my trust in the natural material of glass, in its beauty and its changing reflections. The lamp series consists of a white and grey version that both, and in their own way, bring forward the beauty of electrical light. The lamps are at their best in the late evening, creating a cosy mood around them.”
That it does, definitely, though the cord sort of sticks out.

Koskinen is probably best known for his Block Lamp, a light bulb held inside two shaped pieces of clear glass. It , which is exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

I have to admit that your current web log is extraordinarily insightful. I have been spending a considerable amount of effort in the last couple weeks scouting around at exactly what is out there in accordance with simple fact that I’m getting ready to launch a weblog. The specifics you have placed on here is more or less to the point. It just appears to be so difficult in relation to all the programming languages that are you can get, but I enjoy the way your appears. Gotta take delight in where technological innovation has come throughout the past 20 years.
Nice purses, thanks for sharing!
