The Desert Storm Lamp is inspired by the Sahara. Made out of raw, rough sand, it is made to appear as it if were shaped and by gusting winds. Nevertheless, the result is more sophisticated and polished than what would actually come about from such a storm, to the relief of many. It is the Desert Storm Lamp's balance between grittiness and classiness that will win people's hearts over.
Industrial designer Nir Meiri says about her Desert Storm Lamp, "The shape of the sand-molded lamp shades brings to mind primitive dessert structures, while the fixture’s overall figure resembles that of plants that blossom in the Mediterranean seashore." Fixed to sturdy metal stands, the Desert Storm Lamp has a strong presence that will make a statement in any home.
