The driftwood coffee table can often be found in mid-century modern shops, and lately at big stores like Crate and Barrel. While this would usually signal the tipping point, I don't care; driftwood is a classic that will always work.
7. Triple-Jointed Woody: I forced my mother to buy this Sandy Chapman lamp for our family house in Maine and everyone is glad I did. The wood and the arrangement of the legs is striking, and it has a subtle bit of nautical style. The lamp gives off great ambient light as well as ample reading light.
This lamp is a choice that requires a good amount of floor space; make sure you won't be trying to crush it between tightly arranged furniture. Think of it as requiring the same amount of space as a large pedestal side table.
From the giant pot for books, to the unique design of the lamp the simple room gives a lot of interest to the eye. Strengthened by the contrasting sharp edges of the furniture with the circles in the table and rug. Strengthend further by the round pot and square books. This is a Strong room, yet calming.
The combination of a unique floor lamp with a simple table balances not only light but the visual weight of the room. The two lamps illuminate the space perfectly.
