I knew the cord idea looked familiar... Swedish designer Ilse Crawford produced this wonderful lamp. Who is the original?

Very understated and clean design by Mathias Hahn of OKAYstudio. Lots of attention to details, particularly the blue electrical cable and how it is routed through the wooden members. This design made me look at a lamp in a new way. A more comprehensive photo set of these lamps is at Dezeen. When is the last time you saw such interesting and dynamic photographs of a lamp?
