British design studio Tom Dixon Studio’s Beat Pendants are each playfully named after their silhouette—Fat, Stout, Tall, and Wide. Inspired by the sculptural simplicity of brass cooking pots and traditional water vessels, each pendant balances subtlety with striking details, most noticeable in the interior of the pendant.
The Beat Pendants are 15% off until October 18, 2015.
The Alcatraz Floor Lamp features a plastic and metal frame. Inspired by the Fortuny lamp of 1907, this lamp goes beyond the here and now, with silver rays in a kinetic, futuristic rhythmic sequence, which is a clear sign of a dynamic launch towards the future. The LED floor lamp rotates and has an adjustable height mechanism, making it easy to redirect light as needed.
This lamp is 15% off until October 22, 2015.
