They seem like painting collages at first or perhaps some artsy sculptures that people use to spice up areas. But these are actually lamps that were designed to change the ambiance of rooms in a hurry.

The Atypical Lamps feature triangular shades which direct light downwards to highlight its three tapered legs. The lighting gives an illusion from any angle that a single, sharp beam of light is being cast directly from the center of the shade.

They carry pure and pristine whiteness or shades along with delicate folds of thin sheets of paper. A distinctive tilt perhaps tries to bring it closer to resembling a swan-like figure providing some in-home illumination.

Shades or blinds always seem to enhance a room and can infuse an ethereal vibe into any living space. You can now make your own rice paper roller shades and for more information head over here.

Materials:
rice paper
1 wooden dowels
2 white cloth tape
roller shade hardware

Tools:
tape measure
carpenters square
carpenters straight edge
shears
pencil
sewing machine
crosscut saw for cutting wood dowels
screwdriver or screw gun for mounting hardware

The Measuring:
You start out measuring your windows for roller shades; width and height. Here�s where you need to decide where they will be mounted; on the wall or trim (outside mount) or in between window casing or shelving (inside mount) and which side of the window you want the controls. At least 13/4� depth is needed for an inside mount shade. The paper will be narrower than this overall measurement by 1� to 1 1/2� to allow for hardware. The shade is limited by the width of the rice paper. The widest I�ve found the rice paper on a roll is 38�.

The Rice Paper:
You need rice paper sold by the yard on a roll. You will need a piece of paper the length of your window plus 12�. Great resources for paper are Miki�s Paper, Kozo Arts, and Flax.

The Hardware Store:
Pick up 1� dowels for the hem. They will be cut to the width measurement of your finished shade. Also cloth tape, wood screws, and any tools you lack. Some of my favorite hardware stores are Cliffs in The City (that�s San Francisco) or Pastime in the East Bay.

The Rollers:
Order the rollers from a custom roller shade shop. Ask them to make the allowance for inside or outside mount shades. Order a bead pull, not a spring loaded roller.
Specify left or right control. In S.F. try Art Shade Shop. In Berkeley, Alcatraz Shade Shop.

If you have been bitten by the travel bug then you would love the globe lamp.

“One of the lamps needed 15′ of cord and the other needed 25 feet. The shades are the two halves of a globe that I chopped up. I put switches on the wire, so they are bright and really easy to turn on and off. Total project cost was about $5… which paid for the cords, switches and plugs.”
