Ever wanted to bring home the unique sensation of using the fleeting orange glow from street lamps to catch up on some reading? If you answered yes to that, we’ll overlook the psychological implications and let you know that Modern 50’s latest collection features a re-appropriated street light, complete with worn metal body and distinctive glass cover. So, not only will you be lighting up your space with an imposing, pretentious, aloof and even slightly melancholic light, but you’ll also be saving the earth by recycling our industrial waste. The Marc Newson Super Guppy floor lamp will set you back $2,400, which is a small price to pay for how uncomfortable it’ll make your visiting family feel this holiday season.
