There is a bit of aesthetic personification happening in the Button Down Light by which the inanimate fixture flaunts a fancy fastened seam along one side. All for the iconic appearance, the lampshade is actually made from a thin panel of curled steel rather than fabric and features a row of three studs that look like dress shirt buttons.
Slight slants to the top and bottom of the tapered bulb cover actually have it resembling the cuff of a collared shirt. On the other hand, this asymmetricality expresses a casual and even playful quality to the floor lamp. Even in its formal black or white, the Button Down Light by Germany's Studio Taschide maintains a lighthearted air about it.
