New Icons: Kartell's Bourgie Table Lamp
Versatile lamp combines Baroque tradition with modern materials
It's so much fun when designers mash up classic forms with modern materials. In the case of the Bourgie Lamp, designer Ferruccio Laviani crafted traditional Baroque shapes from a contemporary material, polycarbonate. The result is a contemporary lamp that gives a wink and a nod to an era where the more ornate something was, the better.

Laviani's design adds ingenuity to the mix. Its lampshade is a matching polycarbonate, and the height can be adjusted by adding spacers between the base and the shade.
This bedroom boldly combines fantastic-plastic and Baroque style, and our little Bourgie is just the guy to tie the two together.

The Bourgie was a perfect pick for Swedish blogger Signed by Tina, who mixes traditional and modern pieces in unexpected ways, just as the lamp does.

Tina also employed Bourgie as a reading light, this time in the chrome version. This is a woman who knows how to play with texture, and the metallic lamp emphasizes the reflective qualities of the wallpaper.
Blogger Kirsten of Simply Grove is also a fan of pairing the Bourgie with metallic wallpaper. Here it serves as a console-table lamp.
The Bourgie is up to the task as a desk lamp, providing style and light without being cumbersome.
Here the Bourgie forges a strong relationship with the crystal chandelier, tying the living area and the foyer together.
Don't need things to be so transparent? In addition to crystal, the Bourgie also comes in black, chrome, gold and white. Black certainly shows off his fine figure the most clearly.
