This small lamp possesses a strong visual impact thanks to bold shiny metallic finishes in a variety of colors including platinum, bronze, mint green, tangerine, ultramarine, flamingo, gun metal and violet. I really like the retro looks of the conical lamp shade and the tear drop base that is simple yet fun to look at.

New from the Fritz Hansen collection comes the Rin Chair. Rin was created by Japanese furniture designer Hiromichi Konno. Like many of Fritz Hansen's other masterpieces, Rin draws its inspiration from modern design staples such as Series 7 and the Ant chair by Arne Jacobesen. Hiromichi explains: "My first idea was to make a beautiful chair that stimulates and awakens emotions. Therefore, I have established something poetical, simple, strong, relaxed and innovative all at the same time. The goal from the beginning was to create the perfect chair."
