I really like the lighting in your projects, especially your choices of floor and wall lamps. I wish I would have ordered a pair of those Hinson floor lamps with the angled, translucent white conical shades before they were discontinued. Ah well. Timing is everything!

Flos has a handsome new floor/reading lamp called the Tab F1 that comes with a 40w halogen bulb and a white, black or blue finish. It is a simple design with a graceful metal shade.

Everyone:

There is a floor lamp that has a base, stem and arm much like the Cedric Hartman floor lamp referred to above, but instead of a pharmacy shade, it has a conical white glass shade that points down, is attached to the arm and has a switch on the socket housing at the top of the shade. There is a wall-mounted version of this floor lamp where the arms are essentially the classic L1 Luxo Lamp (drafting lamp) and the conical shade is white glass instead of a painted metal. I saw both these lamps in the work of Joe D’Urso and other designers in the 1970′s and 80′s and I didn’t see it again until the January 2009 issue of Architectural Digest, page 109. I’ve never seen any resource info on the lamps though. Does anyone know these lamps and their manufacturer, model and/or distributor? I would appreciate any information.
