Table Lamps

Today's post is going to be about table lamps. As usual all of the lamps will be from Ikea and range in prices.

The first lamp is the FILLSTA designed by Gunner Jensen. It is a small table lamp in the shape of a circle. It has a very original texture/pattern but I personally think it is ugly. It is said to give off a good amount of light but I'm not sure if it really would because it is quite small. This lamp comes in white and orange and costs $29.99.














The three lamps are part of the KNUBBIG line. They are designed by Michiko Nakata. These lamps are all made of mouth blown glass with a design on them, each of these lamps is unique there are no two lamps the same. These aren't typical lamps, they are all in the shape of an old fashion fish bowl. These lamps are said to give off soft light which helps to enhance the mood. Like the past lamp I think these are ugly, if I wanted a fish bowl as a lamp I would make one myself. But if you like these lamps they come in three different sizes, the first one comes in purple, green and white and is $11.99. The next one is a little bigger than the last and only comes in purple for $18.99. The final lamp in the KNUBBIG line comes in green, black and white and a frosted white for $18.99.




























The third type of lamp I am going to talk about is the IKEA 365+ BRASA which is designed by A Nilsson/H Preutz/T Eliasson. This lamp is very simple looking but I like it. It has a rounded shade/top and a thin pole holding the shade up and a circular base.  This lamp has a dimmer function to adjust the light intensity according to your need. It also has a plastic inner casing which helps to prevents glare and directed light which gives a comfortable reading light. This lamp comes in black and white. The only thing I don't like about this lamp is the price it is $99.99 which I think is expensive for a lamp that looks this simple.















The final lamp is  part of the ALĂ„NG collection which is designed by IKEA of Sweden. This lamp has a small square base, a thin pole holding the shade and then the shade on top. The shade on this lamp has a really cool texture! Another cool thing about this lamp is that the height can be adjusted, it has a little knob that you can move to change the height. This lamp costs $24.99.
