There is a charm to the Vitamin Needle Lamp that you seldom get from a light fixture. There's no doubt that this is a product of its unique composition involving some unconventional material choices and assembly. The piece seems to have been put together with knitting needles and a ball of yarn, with their union influencing the shape of the crooked arm and the direction of the light.
Interestingly, the Vitamin table lamp was initially made in a much more industrial-looking stainless steel, certainly offering a very different visual impression. It can actually be produced with copper and plastic as well. Here, with pointed wooden dowels and and its soft fabric-wrapped cord, the Needle Lamp shines with a cute and crafty appeal that can bring some delightful character to cool and minimal spaces.
