Ever since the mind-boggling film 'Inception,' the influence of classic wooden top toys has started to pop up in design projects such as the Spun Lamp. Granted, the Spun Lamp is probably one of the more clean and classy interpretations of this 'totem,' as it was referred to in the already iconic movie.
Created by Australian design studio Evie Group, the Spun Lamp is a decorative light fixture that can rest on the floor, the table or be hung as a pendent lamp. Since one might be tempted to give it a little twist and spin, the bottom is made out of flexible and durable rubber. The polished mirror finishes of brass and silver makes the Spun Lamp reflect quite interestingly on its surroundings.
