Here's one corner of KEDAI, my little cafe in Jakarta

Niermann Weeks Montaigne Floor Lamp. the lines of this is like jewelry, or like a sculpture. perfect in aliving room. Or, perhaps a pair instead of table lamps.

found two of these at different times in the thrift store

saw this in a mag somewhere along the way a while back... simply stripped a $4 lampshade from Ikea (the bases also came from there) and used basic metal wire window screening to make barrel shades. the metal creased nicely to made the bottom edge nice & clean & used the wire itself for the seam in the back.
originally intended to keep it totally straight & smooth but an accidental denting 'inspired' me to crumple the whole thing to make it a little funkier looking.

The lamp was a dollar or two at a thrift store, I spray painted it red and then decoupaged the colorful bands from flavored cigars all over it. They've got some kind of code/water mark type thing in them, so they've got interesting marks when you turn on the light. Better pics to come.
