The Can Can lamp is brilliant in its lucid simplicity; a classic hard bell-like shell hosts the light source that has been cleverly covered with a draped white cloth. 
The functional benefit of having the light bulb shielded and the light diffused is obvious, and the expressive effect of the draped textile is surprisingly amusing; it ads a soft, intimate yet enjoyably ironic personality to the lamp. Can Can could reveal to be a nice conversation starter.

  • What design does not need to be

    We at spotd have a precise idea of what Design is and should be. We don't pretend to have the truth, or to be considered an undisputed voice; we don't want to polemicize, critic or be provocative (well maybe just a healthy bit sometimes). We simply want to share our findings and thoughts with those that appreciate the same design philosophy.
