Another Kind Of Sputnik Lamp

Sputnik

When I hear Sputnik Lamp I think of the retro modern piece that’s been adorning homes since the mid-century. I do not picture this. And there’s a good reason. This Sputnik was not designed to resemble the Sputnik Lamp I’m talking about, but instead the other Sputnik – the world’s first Earth-orbiting artificial satellite one. And that it does.

So besides its cool space-age look, why is it I like this lamps o much?  Well to start, its four antennae/light sabers can pivot into different positions so it’s almost customizable.  But mostly it’s because its base can be used as hidden storage. Something not even I expect from a lamp. Very cool. 

This lamp was designed by Shane Crozier.
