This wicker lampshade has the most amazing symmetry. Like it was drawn with a toy from the early 80s. Eh... a Spirograph - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirograph

Kettle's Yard House
Between 1958 and 1973 Kettle's Yard was the home of Jim and Helen Ede. In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be
"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.
Today each afternoon (apart from Mondays) visitors can ring the bell and ask to look around.
our friends have moved into a fabulous old house which is kind of rundown in a beautiful way. all through the house there are these wonderful lampshades.

I love these paper lampshades. They are cheap and cheerful and have a limited life but you can always paint a fresh one with a new colour scheme.

My Best Friend's Cock, Leaky Rubber, Clearly Not A Hooker and Pretty Fly For A Pi Guy were welcomed to their first Lampshade Hash with congratulatory down-downs.
I know you must all be envious of a Friday night filled with the excitement of wrestling with Scandinavian design products before the introduction of IKEA to North America. While I am thrilled with the acquisition of these lampshades (story here) let's just say that more than some assembly is required. Oh - and do you like the ghetto kitchen wall behind me? I love renovations.
Broke Bench Mountain, cradling new family member Boulder, and My Best Friend's Cock serenely amble along.
