Lamp shades come in different shapes and designs, but the Quirky Clothespin Lamp by Young and Battaglia is something which surpasses most of them. Made of hand-turned wood and wooden clothespin, this lamp is completely different from what you would have ever owned. The muted and patterned glow of light gives it a different look and feel altogether. Its design is at its eco-friendliest best.

So what makes it so close to nature, you may ask? Well, beginning from its choice of materials to its minimalism, everything makes it a green product. The base is made of hand-turned wood, which gives it a very rustic and earthy look. The shade is made by pinning wooden clothespin together. Wooden clothespin - would you ever imagine a home accessory out of it? The lamp advocates minimalism and uses eco-friendly products instead of harmful plastics, vinyl, colors, etc. This lamp dubbed as 'Peggy Sue' was a showstopper at the New York Design Week. Am sure, it would steal the show in your home too!

Y&B also showcased their "Rocking Lamp," which borrows its looks from a rocking horse and symbolizes childhood, fantasy and everything nice. In short, the lamps would be a great addition to anyone's home decor. Order them at Mineheart.
