# Cowhide Lighting The Cow Skin Lamps by SDA Decoration Brings the Farm Home By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cow-skin-lamps References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/004349.html) & [sda-decoration](http://www.sda-decoration.com/en,collection,indoor,lampes.html) I never thought I would say this, but I'm loving these Cow Skin Lamps. A refreshing [animal pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1) for the home, they truly bring 'country chic to a whole new level,' as Trendir writes. Rustic yet refined, they add a farm charm that is hard to resist. Designed by SDA Decorations, the Cow Skin Lamps are available in a couple of different options as seen in the gallery above. The only thing I'm hoping, however, is that they are completely synthetic.
