New Organic Hurricane Lamp From Menu
Designer Pernille Vea has created the striking new Organic Hurricane – a candle lamp in the shape of an elongated, rounded stone.
The lamp has two parts, the lower one in charcoal grey terracotta and the upper in frosted glass, which is delightfully illuminated by the living flame within; the candle is located in a hollow in the base.
The Organic Hurricane can be placed outdoors all year round, as both the terracotta and the glass are frost-proof.
