Love it
By: Ana Paula M., Homeowner (Wi USA)
It is fun, modern and elegant Smart design
Awesome attention grabber
By: John T., Homeowner (Pittsburgh PA)
Everyone loves this light and is surprised that there is just a little bulb inside. It gives off a surprising amount of light and I'm thinking about getting a smaller one for a smaller space. I would definitely recommend.
Beautiful lamp, but the bulb broke within the first week and I can't find a replacement.

Beautiful lamp, solid, and well made. Unfortunately, the bulb broke within the first week and I can't find a replacement.
Designer: Harri Koskinen
Born 1970, in Karstula, Finland, Harri Koskinen graduated from the Institute of Art and Design in Helsinki. His highly acclaimed Block Lamp was an immediate hit when it was introduced in 1996. Among his clients Harri can list Marimekko, Magis, MUJI, Swarovski, and many others.
Harri was awarded the prestigious Torsten and Wanja Söderberg prize at The Röhsska Museum of Fashion, Design and Decorative Arts in 2009. The chairman of the jury noted that, despite his young age, Harri is perhaps Finland's greatest contemporary designer, and whose design is a perfect combination of tradition and renewal.
