Foscarini Launches Table Lamps Inspired by Birds

 has launched a new lighting design collection designed by Ludovica and Roberto Palmoba. The Birdie table lamp collection features two new eye-catching and affordable models: Birdie Easy and Birdie Zero.


The design's iconic shade is a geometric interpretation of a bird resting on a tree branch, recalling the image of a traditional bedside lamp but with a slightly tapered shape. The stem and the base of the lamp are linear and have been given new proportions to enhance this classic design, which comes in six new colors.


Thanks to the base and rod in metal, Birdie Easy readily adapts to the widest range of stylistic and functional settings. Birdie Zero accentuates the minimal look of the lamp, keeping only the shade, in the large and small versions.

Want to Learn Graphic Design? 8 Tips & Tricks for Beginners

  For many of us, the thought of high school conjures memories of ample notebook doodles. Hand-drawn bubble letters, pictograms, and stick-figures would decorate homework, tests, and papers -- and teachers, of course, were constantly asking us to knock it off. And so, most of us did, perhaps because we figured out that we just weren't that good at drawing on paper. But when some of us were in high school, we didn't yet have the numerous digital options for "drawing" our ideas. But now, machines can help us bring them to life -- and it's become a career path for many people. Graphic design is something that marketers can always benefit from learning, even without a formal education. In those cases, we enter a world of do-it-yourself education, with repeated recommendations like, "learn Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign," or, "read a book about basic design principles." And as much as those help, learning fundamentals, navigating new tools, an

  There is   strength in optimism . Or at least that's Pantone's proposal for 2021: a color story that combines vitality and fortitude. The resilience we'll need to overcome 2020's challenges and the vivacious energy that will inspire us to do it. In selecting Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (Yellow) as their colors of the year for 2021, Pantone hopes to convey a mix of temperance and warmth.

Perhaps as evidence of our conflicting emotions, this year's color pair invites us to embrace the value of our differences. Creatives' reactions to this choice are divided, to say the least.
