These day’s you are spoilt for choice when it comes to buying a lighting fixture for your home. But if you like contemporary designs, I recommend you opt for the unique Bucky lamp designed by Studio Lagranja for Pallucco. Unveiled at the Salone del Mobile 2010 in Milan, this lighting fixture wins your heart with its design and functionality. The shape of this lamp is inspired by a kite and pays tribute to Richard Buckminster ‘Bucky’ Fuller, the visionary American architect and designer who was the first to experiment with tensile structures. The lamp has been made using the very same tensile structures. One can expect the lamp to bathe you in a colorful glow if the three rods, realized in 700-mm milk-white blown glass, are equipped with orange or purple glass filters. But the best part is that this lamp is available as a pendant light, a table lamp and a floor lamp.

Truly unique, this lamp can definitely be dubbed as a piece of functional art.
