“Collection of Light 70” is a wonderfully smart new lamp-cum-sculpture by the Swedish design collective called Humans Since 1982, showing for a few more days yet in the Park Avenue gallery at Phillips de Pury auction house. I love the simplicity of making use of the latest lighting technology, simply by presenting it as stock.
