The Filomena wall lamp project started like a synthesis game about lamp concept by the team at  nadlab , an Italian design firm started by two friends - Lapo De Vita, a craftsman decorator, and Claudio Mochi, an industrial designer. After careful research of materials and techniques, the duo came up with a really cool idea on how to craft a functional lamp silhouette from a lamp cord. Using a thin sheet of PMMA (polymethacrylate), the CNC-milled panel works as a frame and as a support for the light, acting as a guide for wire placement. Once assembled, the system can be framed on the wall and connected using a 240V wall socket as easy as a table lamp. The light source is a LED bulb white or RGB with remote control (not included)

Is it a table or is it a lamp? The correct answer is lamp, although the shape of the lamp does resemble a table, which I found to be pretty amusing.  In fact I think it would be pretty interesting visually to use this table lamp on a table.
