brilliant book
by Frystenn
It is a must for the lovers of the interior design and lighting. This is the book well elaborated and well selected unique compilation of master pieces.

Great book to have sitting on your coffee table or on a shelf, something that is nice to just pick up and have a flick through. As a product design student this came in very useful when I was looking for inspiration for my last project. Book turned up undamaged and on time.

I had seen this in several stores and had wanted it for some time, always however it was quite expensive. Brought for a very good price a good book indeed.
I love design and am currently studying product design. It is a very useful reference and inspiration book and it’s good for the coffee table too.

Yessssss! Have you ever wanted to learn about lamps? A brief history followed by a chronological review of the most iconic and stylish lamps since the dawn of the electric bulb? LOOK NO FURTHER. The stunning graphics, sheer educational volume both visually and descriptively are unrivalled by any other lamp book. Other books on lamps are pitiful compared to this item. Buy it now. You won’t regret it. Really brightens my day.
