Flat-packed, self-assembly lamps are all the rage, right? I'm definitely digging this one by designer Simon Karkov for Normann Copenhagen.

Simon says about the design: "I have worked on Norm 06 for the last 3-4 years and just like many of my other projects I had to leave my idea for a while and look at it again a couple of months later. The design is inspired by nature, by the lilies and the water lilies. Norm 06 nicely follows the Danish design tradition for lamp shades with its shielding of the bulb and the soft light."

Did you hear that? This baby took three to four years of serious thinking, but can be yours for a mere $66 and a few minutes of assembly time. Fair trade, really.

Norm 06 Lamp available from Design Public: $66 - $128
