Dofaso: Trusted Knockoffs or a Scam?

Dofaso: Trusted Knockoffs or a Scam?

I have long lusted after Poul Henningsen's Artichoke Lamp, but just assumed that, given its $15,000 price tag, I'd have to wait for another lifetime to actually own one.

Create Wall Art From Popsicle Sticks On The Cheap

When i was in 7th grade I made a lamp from popsicle sticks. I loved that thing, but it doesn't hold a candle (or um, bulb) to these pieces of wall art made from the same material. They're big on style and small on price — what parent can resist that? Read Full Post Continue reading »
