The Bell Hanging Lamp by Baxter
Meghan Young — August 17, 2012 — Art & Design
The Bell Hanging Lamp is a glitzy light fixture that will add a touch of glamor into people's lives and homes. Shaped like a large floppy hat, the kind that would be found at the Kentucky Derby, the lampshade is a dramatic piece of decor that makes a sparkling statement.
Designed by Italian furniture design firm Baxter, the Bell Hanging Lamp functions almost like a flattened disco ball. The light source bounces off of the silver surface of the adjoined bells from every angle both inside and out. Great on its own or hung together in multiples, the Bell Hanging Lamp is perfect for contemporary homes accented with a cool elegance. Although some may consider it very feminine, it can easily be made more masculine depending on the other decor in the space.
