The white plastic lamp at the left above is functional, for it will not wear out and it is easily cleaned. The base and shade agree in shape. Courtesy Modem Plastics Magazine. The base of the table lamp above at the right is heavy enough so that it will not upset easily. The shade is sufficiently large to conceal a diffusing bowl and a light with three strengths. In addition the lamp has beautiful simplicity. Courtesy William Mmker Studio. The handsome round glass base below at the left has a round shade with a pleasing geometric pattern that agrees with the pattern in the base. The style of the lamp suits either a period or a Modern room. Courtesy Orrefors Galleries. The lamp below at the right is well designed and would look well in Modern surroundings, masculine settings, or in a non-period studio home which features craft work. It is particu- larly interesting in texture.
