BIRDIE
FROM FOSCARINI
No birds were harmed in the making of this lamp. Birdie, by Italian husband-and-wife duo Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, is a reinterpretation of the classic reading lamp. The stem of the lamp resembles a tree trunk. The shade looks like foliage, while the on-off switch can be interpreted as a branch. You half expect a bird to land on this “treeâ€.
Birdie was first launched in 2011, but it is still a hot favourite today. For 2018, the new version uses LED bulbs, with a refreshed selection of colours – copper and graphite, as well as a new aqua green version.
