I own this and get more compliments and inquiries about it than you can imagine! It comes short or long, in maple or walnut, it is easy to hang and uses a plug-in outlet so you don't have to be an electrician or 'wiring' expert to put it up. Made by Octate in san francisco, it's very reasonably priced. Check out the long (tall) one too! (via octate.com)

This Bow Lamp by octate is amazing (I love anything wood grain these days), but Octate's site is gorgeous too. For the modernist and minimalists out there...add this site to your bookmarks. (via laurasweet)
