Remodelista Reconnaissance: The Graphic Lamp That Always Steals the Spotlight

The source of this week’s Reconnaissance may not be much of a mystery to design lovers in the know. Still, we’re compelled by this light every time we see it—and if ever there were a piece guaranteed to punch up a space, this would be it.

Today we highlight this always fresh, always timeless light—and where to find it.
