Boutique Hand Crafted Table Lamps by Blackbird

In today's world of mass production and outsourcing it is a welcome sight to see quality construction be the hallmark of a small manufacturer. Such is the case with lamp and lighting company, Blackbird. All of their table lamps, floor lamps, and sconces are crafted by hand in the U.S.A. I actually read about their history a few times just to make sure!

This piece is perfect in small space settings or any place where you need extra lighting and cannot afford for the lamp to "get in the way" of other things in that area.

Awesome Glass Lamps and Accessories from Holmegaard

Long before the table lamp came onto the scene, Holmegaard Glassworks of Denmark was mastering the art of fine glass making with blessings of the Danish Queen. Today the Holmegaard tradition continues and has involved some of Denmark's best known artists. I really like the "One" table lamp by designer Maria Berntsen which is also available in a hanging light and comes in opal white or clear. Holmegaard covers many areas including stemware, vases, bowls, candle holders as well as seasonal items for Christmas and Easter. 60W / E27

Air Shadow Retractable Blade Ceiling Fans by Fanimation

Here is a great idea that gives the appearance of a good looking over head light fixture but easily changes to a ceiling fan when needed. The Fanimation series of retractable blade ceiling fans closes when the fan is off and unfolds when turned on for two completely different yet equally beautiful looks. The Air Shadow series comes in several styles from industrial to rustic to adapt to your décor or visual requirements. Fanimation is a great source for conventional ceiling fans that break away from the typical and make a true design statement.
