The Wire lamp is something that could have easily come out of the 70s. Its retro futuristic aesthetic is exactly what I would have imagined gracing the home of the Formans in 'That 70s Show.' Strangely enough, although its aesthetics scream of a certain era, the Wire lamp is also made timeless because of this glaring detail.
Designed by Verner Panton, the Wire lamp is such a statement piece of home decor, it would fit into pretty much any living space. Looking like an inverted light bulb, its wire steel base is topped with a colorful plastic lid that is available in a variety of colors including white, yellow, brown and orange.
Known for creating 'explosions of color,' as his site states, Verner Panton's Wire lamp does not disappoint on this front.
