I will never tire of looking inside artists' studios. Check out visual artist Tenka Gammelgaard's Copenhagen digs:

In addition to the beauty of Gammelgaard's space and work, how killer is that lamp? Designed by Ron Gilad for Dutch brand moooi in 2003, it's called the Dear Ingo. (That's a tip of the hat to famed lighting designer Ingo Maurer, and you can read a conversation between Gilad and Maurer here.)

Sixteen lamps bristle from the powder-coated steel hub.

Looks pretty sweet in white, too.

"Care is required," reads the product copy, "when arranging the task lamp composition." I assume the steel hub is heavy, but there's still probably a bit of balancing required to keep the thing steady.

By the bye, here's some training for the spotting of unauthorized knock-offs. Can you tell why the one in the photos below--which is being sold on AliExpress and even has Gilad's name shamelessly slapped on it--is not the real deal?

FAKE:

Any industrial designer among you should have been able to spot the differences right away. If not, shame on you.

Back in 2003 incandescent bulbs were still the thing, and with 16 60-watt bulbs in this lamp you'd have a maximum wattage of 960. Nowadays we can deliver the same amount of lumens with a fraction of the wattage just by swapping in LED bulbs. AND I'd love to see Gilad update the Dear Ingo's function by adding some Arduino, small servos and an app; how cool would it be if you could remotely position each lamp, dim the lighting and changing the bulbs' colors independently?

This sounds like something a competent maker could DIY together. I'm not saying they should, of course, due to copyrights and such. But if someone were to do it, preferably Gilad himself, it ought to be called the Dear Ron.
