So it couldn't really replace any lamps in my house, and I realized that aside from a corner behind my sofa and a slightly uncomfortable alcove between a bookcase and a cabinet in my living room, I didn't have a free space for it in the biggest room in my house. Maybe it was its proportions, or the fact that I don't have free corners in rooms with neutral white or off-white walls, or that it didn't really go with a lot of my furniture, but whatever it was I struggled to make room for it – and certainly so in a way that meant there wasn't a wire trailing too far across the carpet.Īlso, this is not really a traditional lamp replacement, which radiates light out at all angles, but a back-lighter that is designed to cast colored lights on walls.
