Looking like something right out of the 1970s Brady Bunch house in California, the Woods lamp is a “green” creation by Spanish designer Héctor Serrano for decorative lamp studio-lab Arturo Alvarez. His lighting is inspired by MidCentury California Design.

This “tailor-made” pendant lamp is assembled with elongated blocks of birch wood hanging hickly-pickly from transparent cables from a metallic canopy that makes it seemingly dance on the ceiling like a wind-chime.

I see this wicked pendant as a perfect fit in an industrial loft, where the use of untreated wood and polished concrete permeates the space.  It’s also perfect for a touch of whimsy in a more polished room or killing a midcentury space with a 70s sensibility … and don’t forget restaurants.  It’s actually a lot more versatile that what you imagine!

Modenus is running a feature to select the Top 100 International Interior Design Blogs including, ahem, ahem … The Modern Sybarite.

Check out the evolving list and if the urge to vote strikes you, a “Thumbs UP” for the Sybarite would be MOST welcome and appreciated on that site. To see the list and vote, click here.
