    Very sweet. I wonder if it used high intensity LEDs?

    It’s only a concept, but juding from the looks, my guess is that it’s not using LEDs.

    That’s a great lamp and would look excellent in my lounge. But for $2,600 it’s not going to happen.

    It would look great in black.

    A rechargeable version with LEDs and a detachable power cord would be nice. I wonder if the design was worked out on computer or if it was a case of trial and success to get the legs right?

    True, a rechargeable version of the Nymph lamp would be great.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    This is a great article. I never knew these things existed. Kind of spendy though…
