Steal This Look: Black Lights
From Julie
Claesson Koivisto Rune's house for Ingegerd Råman features a restrained palette of black, white, and red. We especially like the way the designers used black light fixtures throughout the house. For more ideas, see 10 Easy Pieces: Black Pendant Lights, Outdoors: Stockholm Fixture, and Lighting: Leucos Pendant.
Below: Outdoor Droppen Light by noted Swedish architect Thomas Sandell for Swedish lighting company Zero, die-cast aluminum with lampshade in clear or matte opal glass; $234.40 at Scandinavian Design Center.
Below: Arne Jacobsen Floor Lamp, designed in 1957 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Available in black, white, or graphite gray; $848 at Y Lighting.

I want to do what you do when I grow up. I'm 71 and am always searching for a better product, or a better way to do something.
I am allergic to medocrity something that sadly the US has settled for.
In many cases great design does not cost that much more. Well maybe Good design, but you can always substitute a "Look."
I am addicted to your newsletter.
On it, I found the rack system I was looking for.

Thank you, thank you for all the information and ideas you supply.

For a black light that is both utilitarian yet stylish this spun aluminium pendant is hard to beat. http://www.hollowaysofludlow.com/shop/index.php?id=267&Ct1=5&Ct2=66&Ct3=186&Clv=5&HC=1
