Industrial designer Hlynur Atlason  teamed up with  Artecnica  to develop Yorky, a quirky, animal-like lamp that can be placed in a variety of different positions. Let it sit up on its “hind legs” and shine to the ceiling or tilt Yorky over for more focused task lighting. You can even hang him on the wall from his “leash.” Yorky is made of flexible silicone in three fun colors: white, yellow and pink, and its wide collar can accommodate numerous types of bulbs. Yorky is available on  artecnica.com . Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook .

A couple of months ago, the kind people over at AllModern sent me the awesome Artecnica Phrena Table Lamp you see above.

The base is a thin gold wire and the shade is a large and white, made of Tyvek construction – and it looks amazing in my bedroom! I haven’t decided if it will stay there, because my living room is full of gold and white accents and it would look even better there than where it is now. Initially, I wanted to put it on my desk, but that’s in the basement and this lamp is just too fabulous to hide!

In addition to this awesome lamp, AllModern has TONS of other home accessories and modern furniture if you’re in the post-holiday shopping mood!

What do you think of my new lamp? Any ideas for where I should put it?

This summer, Artecnica is introducing new innovations that create, reflect, embody, and transform the concept light. It’s a fresh direction that accurately captures their latest sentiments (and the design industry overall): “Look up, look forward. Good things are on the way.” Part of the collection are these Bright Side hanging lights by Rich Brilliant Willing , which each offer a message of optimism printed on the top of the light. The phrases on the glass are “Always look on the bright side of life,” You can’t have light without darkness,” and “In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary” — messages that share the theme of optimism that underlies Artecnica’s newest collection
