Atelier Takagi | Subdivisions

These table lamps are fab. AND the product detail references the Rush song, which made me smile – it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the name.



"Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown"

David Spriggs.

I would love to see his work.

Pocket Card Light.

Very tempting for $7.


Sure you could carry around a little flash light on your key chain, or keep one in your car, but how about just sliding a perfectly good light source right into your wallet? The Pocket Card LED Light is the same size as credit card and requires no batteries or wires. The interior piece has an LED light bulb, when you need to illuminate, you just flip it up and the light turns on.

Surveillance 100 lamp.


This ironic work uses the typical appearance of a surveillance camera to create a striking standing lamp.

Not initially intended to make a political statement, this light received a lot of attention after its first exhibition at the 2008 Stockholm Furniture Fair from political bloggers and media, and in hindsight, the designers are proud that their work has been part of the public discourse about surveillance in our society.

Limited Edition of 100 pieces of the original lamp's prototype.

Chateau lamp.

I'd never pay $1500 plus at a mass retailer for this, but I absolutely LOVE the design. Very Madeline.

Lincoln Park Black Torchiere.

Okay. You guys are gonna think I've lost my mind (a tochiere lamp on my blog?!) but hear me out.

I bought one of these at Lowes this weekend because I needed more light to paint. (No overhead light in the room.) This lamp is GREAT. It gives off the same bright, warm, dimmable light as a halogen lamp but the bulb is only 55 WATTS AND the lamp costs around 40 bucks.



Replace your halogen torchiere with this compact fluorescent torchiere. Halogen torchieres typically consume 300 watts of electricity, the lamps get as hot as 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and if used 4 hours each day at $0.08/kWh the annual operating cost will be $43.00. This compact fluorescent torchiere uses 63 watts of electricity, the lamp runs at about 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and if used for 4 hours per day the annual operating cost will be $7.36.

This Good Earth Torchiere comes in a black finish with a solid bowl, directing all of the light upward. The dimmable 55 watt 2-D compact fluorescent bulb will provide a light level roughly equivalent to a 250 watt halogen torchiere. The bulb is rated to last for 10,000 hours. The torchiere itself stands at 72 inches high, and weighs 16 pounds.


(I'm thinking about making it slightly more aesthetically pleasing with vinyl decals. Though I must say, it's pretty unobtrusive as it is.)

Chateau Marmont Light Bulb

As a big fan of hotels, I think this is fab.


Presenting a very special item from the Chateau archives. Pan, the hotel’s mischievous mascot glows in a royal purple and the hotel’s monogram glows a festive green. Perfect for areas where low light is welcome. This crystal clear bulb comes boxed for gifting or sharing with the message, “Glow in Peace.” (Unfortunately the fixture is not included.)

More lamp lust.

This time the object of my affection is this Spotlight Lamp.


The originals once spotlighted the stage for plays by Williams and Inge; over half a century later, our vintage reproductions provide dramatic illumination for your home. Sitting atop a fixed wooden tripod, an adjustable antiqued pewter finished brass canister holds a glass diffuser that softens and distributes the light; it unscrews to accommodate up to a 150 watt bulb (not included). Ventilated at back to avoid overheating.

Second Shadow lamp.



Magically transform any room into a fantasy shadow gardens of delights. Stretched gauze filters halogen-projected images from a fancifully painted mylar interior.
