But calm, white calm, was born into a swan

This is how an eternal line from English literature goes. A swan is symbolic of the delicate and of the graceful. The swan dive in swimming or the swan move in ballet, the stuck swan in Mallarme’s French poetry or pristine white swans interlocking in love, all these visuals are placid to the eye. This search for peace has resulted in this piece of home decor from Eero Aarnio. The beautifully moulded plastic bodies of these lamps will look timelessly classic on your bedside or an antique table. The light, whose source is an energy-saving compact fluorescent bulb, will gloss through black, white or yellow covering giving an exquisite charm to the room. Priced at 239 Euros, you better catch one of these before they gracefully paddle off from the store shelves!
