Midsummer Light found on Artecnica.com
While reading through one of my new favorite magazines (it seems since the baby arrived, magazines are my new friend. I can’t get far enough into a book before the baby starts squalling.) I stumbled across a website called artecnicainc.com. Basically, this company carries a variety of “art” from multiple up-and-coming artist in the Los Angeles area.
Anyhow, there are several pieces that I found very interesting such as this cool retro spinoff clock called DaDa. What really took the cake was this awesome “Midsummer Light.” I think this awesome hanging light fixture would be so pretty if you were having a evening outdoor party. It is pretty whimsical with it’s cascading curtian of flowers and leaves. I think it is just cool. What do you think? You can take a look at all of the colors and more info here.

See below for descriptions.
#1 – Via: Better Living Through Design. The Modo Chandelier by Jason Miller. This is by far the most expensive light in this collection. At $8400, this one won’t likely find its way into my house any time soon. The price, however, doesn’t discount the fact that it is very cool. If you’ve got the bankroll, you can get yours here.
#2 – Via: Freshome. This Ociu Light from Zava is a monster, at nearly 73 inches in diameter! Visit Zava’s website to find a distributor near you.
#3 – Via: Freshome. Okay … so maybe this one isn’t really all that hip. However, it is definitely funny! Your friends will surely crack up when the have to turn this lamp on using, you guessed it, his little appendage. Unfortunately, it appears that the site that originally sold these is gone. If anyone knows were they can now be purchased, we’d love for you to post a comment letting us know!
#4 – Via: Young House Love. If you liked #1, but hated the price tag, perhaps this is a better alternative. It still has the chic look, at a fraction of the cost. You can get one here, for £225. (If you’re in the US, you might be able to utilize my good friend Google, to turn up a domestic distributor of this light.)
#5 – Via: Remodelista. Mercury Honeycomb Pendant from Peddlers.
