    This collection makes me happy! Especially the design of the Gold Modern Clip lamp. It is absolutely divine. Love the clean lines of the shade, with a twist of industrial influence in the neck and clamp, and the elegant gold coloring. This lamp would light up my life while clipped to the edge of my desk!
