Instead of trying to hide the cord, designer group Form Us With Love has made it the main feature. A minimalist combination of a classic textile cord strengthened with a concealed steel tube, a dimmer and a large light bulb, together forming an iconic design piece. The Mini Cord Lamp is a table version of the Cord Floor Lamp.
The textile cord transforms itself into a steel tube and holds aloft an oversized globe bulb, complete with dimmer and all. “You can let it irritate you, break your neck tripping over it,” says Petrus Palmér together with co-designers Jonas Pettersson and John Löfgren. “Or you can surrender, hide it behind the skirting board or press it into a groove. But it’s smarter to make friends with the enemy, Cord Lamp turns the cursed flex into a simple eye-catcher. If there’s any message to a lamp, just for the fun of it, what about ‘make peace not war'?”
