I have two lamps I scored for $5 at the Goodwill that didn’t have shades. One day I came across the perfect ones but they didn’t work out. One thing I noticed is how dark the room got with the shade. I have been used to having a lot of light from this lamp that I am thinking about staying shadeless. The hanging bulb pendants have been used a lot in the last couple of years along with bulb sputnik styles but I find some shadeless lamps to be minimal and modern too…
I really dig how one giant bulb looks flanking the mirror above. It definitely doesn’t look unfinished…
How edgy is that gunmetal mercury glass bulb?
