So this one is technically not local in any way, shape, or form, but it’s just too good not to share with my design minded peeps out there…Ready?

The little lamps from Land of Nod are rocking my world.

Now awesome lamps aren’t exactly breaking news, I realize, but Land of Nod is a kid’s catalog, and these are seriously chic (i.e. totally adult worthy) lamps. Oh and they’re cheap…

That brass clip on task lamp to the right (capable of elevating even the most mundane workspace) rings in at $59(!). There’s also a fetching little faceted number on offer for a cool $69 as well as a stellar mini sputnik-esque pendant that you can nab for less than two Benjamins.

Well played Land of Nod. Well played.
