COOL MOD LIGHTING

Shopping for a new chandelier for my dining room, I thought I’d try something unconventional and checkout MoMA store (one of my favorite sites for way-cool contemporary finds). This IQ light shade by Holger Strom is a great 1970s design for the DIY generation: The kit contains 30 interlocking modules of translucent white PVC, allowing for more than 20 different designs when you piece the shade together yourself. It’s like art class for the tragically hip. (No, it’s not right for my dining room–but I’m still buying it.) While you’re at the site, check out MoMA’s winter sale and deep discounts.
