crocheted lamps for the US

Last week, I finally got my 110 volts bulbs from the US. For a while I'm trying to make my crocheted lamps suitable for the US market. Since the voltage in the Netherlands is 220 volts and in the US 110, I can not use the same bulbs. After a lot of searching and mailing I have found almost the same globe light bulbs in 110 volts. The only difference is that the straight part is a bit shorter, it doesn't have the wider part. Etsy buyers can now choose with every lamp listing what voltage their lamp must have.

knotted pendant lamps by Kwangho Lee

A while ago I came across this picture on, of course, Pinterest and I was in love. At the time I couldn't get to the source of the picture. In my research for another post recently I came across it again and this time I found the designer: Kwangho Lee. He is a designer from Seoul, Korea. His basic design principle is giving new meaning and function to everyday objects and materials. The inspiration came from his grandmother knitting when he was young and from his grandfather who recycled everything he found. The lamp that first caught my eye is entirely made from thick electrical wire. For this restaurant he made them from rope. pendant lamps in The Atlantic Restaurant  The technique he uses is a sort of self-invented finger knitting. Every piece is entirely handmade. The material is so tough that he often worked until his hands bled. blue pendant lamps brown pendant lamp brown pendant lamp detail black pendant lamp black pendant lamp chandel...

Collection: Lampe chunky

Afbeelding
This month will be all about the latest addition to the Lampes: the Lampe chunky. The Lampe chunky fits nicely between my plug in lamp and my garden lamp.  The design of the Lampe plug in is quite fine and delicate and when I designed the garden lamp, the material made this lamp more chunky. I liked that look for outside. But I also wanted that look for inside, so I decided to combine the chunkyness of the gardenlamp with the colours and material of the plug in lamp. The result: a sturdy, chunky, more industrial plug in lamp for inside. Available in 6 colours thick cotton, with 3 meters cord and a plug with a switch. For the bulb you can choose between an opal or a clear led bulb of 4 watt. In the third picture you can see I hung the lamp on the wall with a strap. This is the Loop XL, comparible with the Loop pillow (which I discribed in my previous collection blog) but a bit smaller. The Loop XL straps are made from thick merino wool felt and are available i...
