Exhibited at the 2011 Stockholm Furniture Fair 'Greenhouse,' the Shoe Lamp definitely ran away with the show. A unique lighting fixture, everything from its laces to its shoe box packaging was expertly executed.
Designed by Lund School of Architecture student Clara Sjodin, the Shoe Lamp not only looks like an actual piece of footwear that glows, its laces cleverly camouflages the cords. I guess my only concern is that one might try to walk out in them by accident.
