ecco. lamp.



If you're looking for a table lamp that will fit into an industrial decor, you should be looking at the Ecco Lamp. From the chrome plating to the wall-style flip switch (illuminated, no less), this thing could have fallen out of the back of Monster Garage. Oh yeah, it has a dimmer too.

2 finishes. 50 watts.
If chrome is a bit over the top for you, you can soften the Ecco with a pewter finish, although I don't think that will make it blend into your Victorian sitting room more easily. It also comes with a sandblasted glass shade that helps to lessen the industrial feel, but honestly, why did the designers bother? I think some nice mesh -- or possibly barbed wired -- would have been better.

turn. on.
One of the reasons I like the Ecco is that it solves the problem I always have of not being able to find those little turny-type switches on most table lamps, the kind where you have to reach up under the shade to get at them. Hate those. For $179 you can eliminate that problem.

i have almost exactly the same lamp next to my bed that I built from the hardware store. I think it cost about $35 for everything. much more "rustic" looking, but I really dig it. not a great photo, but you can kind of see it here:
