These photos got me thinking about swing arm wall lights; perfect for illuminating hard-to-reach areas of a room and adding visual drama.

Cara,
the Rizzatto lamp for Flos - one of my absolute favourites - so right in (ample) kitchen interiors! Bacione, Ingrid
Shelton Mindel architects use swing arms very nicely in some of their projects - www.sheltonmindel.com
David Weeks makes some nice ones as well.
