This FURNITURE FEATURE post focuses on statement wall pieces which channel a functional piece of artwork \\ 

I mentioned in last FURNITURE FETISH post that another Daphna Laurens piece was coming up - well this is it. I just had to do a four image feature on this one to capture the beauty of its transition from day to night. I spoke in the last post about their industrial design blurring the boundaries between furniture and artwork and this piece is the epitome of just that, " They wanted to create a lamp that during the day was an art-piece more than a wall light and at night is a lamp" \\  

Bauhaus is distinctly their main inspiration source and more specifically the works of Laszlo Moholy Nagy \ Jewish-Hungarian-American, July 20, 1895 – November 24, 1946 \ Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus successors would smile in their graves at this piece of work.
