All Eyes on Light
17 lamps to bright up your days
There have been too many long reads recently. I feel the need for a break and something visually pleasing. Therefore, keeping up with my strong motivation to continue promoting a poor collecting concept, I have decided to share a selection of cool, weird, beautiful, and promising lighting objects. I think that lighting, chairs, and vases are the types of objects that you can play with and express your personality through them.
Budget is not crucial when it comes to lighting. You can easily go with a piece worth $50. The greatest value lies in courage, a playful mood, and even an erotic approach. Remember, you’re not choosing a life partner; you just need to light up your nights. Below, you will find seventeen beautiful objects for this purpose. Some of them are almost like artworks, and each one fulfills its purpose effectively.

It’s been an extremely intense week for me, and a weekend full of work lies ahead. Meanwhile, I’ve started reading This Must Be the Place by Maggie O’Farrell. I have delved into the beautifully woven story, and despite it being quite lengthy and my mind being preoccupied with work, I still can't tear myself away from this novel. Highly reccomended!
I hope that your first summer weekend will be very inspiring and full of light!
Yours,
Miri
