Interiors: Liv Lamp



Do you see that lamp?  It's the Liv lamp by Swedish designer Jonas Bohlin. I think in the wrong space, that lamp would simply look WRONG (to put it plainly), but the ethereal design of the pendant adds something interesting to these spaces. It's not a design I would generally give a second thought about (something about tulle as a lighting structure seems flimsy and very flammable) but now that I've seen it in these spaces, I kind of like it.  What do you think?

    I think with my bad luck that's a call to the fire department waiting to happen. But it's pretty though.

    I'd love to see it lit. It does seem kinda dangerous though!

    I agree. It looks great in those spaces somehow.

    So pretty! I wonder whether it's actually a fire hazard — you raise a good point! I would love to see a few lined up in a girly café.

    I definitely like it better in a bedroom than a dining room - I'd be worried that any candles at dinner would send it up in flames! :)

    yeah.... looks a little like a hazard, but i do love the way it looks in the bedroom. also, the portrait in the far wall adds to it.

    I'm kinda digging it! Like a ballerina tulle skirt on the ceiling! :)

    very interesting lamp...the first photo of the kitchen is SO lovely, but as everyone has suggested, the fire danger is a bit too real...
    Thanks for sharing!
