The Kebab Lamp
Committee’s Kebab Lamp is the perfect type of odd ball. Created as an experiment in anti-design, each lamp stand is made by skewering a selection of found objects, antiques and other bit and bobs.
Each year, they make just eight of these lamps and sell them exclusively though the Established & Sons gallery in London. While they won’t be everyone’s taste, surely there is nothing better than a little humour in your home furnishings!

Lada Alekseychuk’s artwork is ecstasy. As a collage artist, I really don’t see much stuff that is inspirational for me in the collage world. But her work is inspiring. The complexity is riveting and breathtaking.

Originally hailing from Kendal, Cumbria and now based in Leeds, the Wild Beasts foursome are the next hopefuls for Domino Records, who sent the group out to Sweden to record their first album, Limbo, Panto, released on June the 16th. The new single — The Devil’s Crayon — shimmers in wide-screen around a sense of location, melody and wonder at the scale of things. Indeed, it sounds like the theme song to a new kind of very English road movie.
