I spend so much time trying to hide my cords, and wind my cords, that sometimes I just want to be totally rid of cords. That's why I would have never considered something that's normally the general bane of my existence to be beautiful. I am totally speechless about this lamp — a design presented by Nicolo Taliani at this year's ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair).
The sheer modernness of it — the silhouette, color, glass base — makes the tangled cord inside work, while a more complicated design would just make it look like a mess. But for me, I'd buy this lamp as soon as it was available and put it in my place in a heartbeat.
What's your take? Hot piece or hot mess?

that just makes it look messier to me...and my house is plenty messed up already, don't need to buy stuff to make it look that way!
1I think it looks messy too. Cords are ugly things you hide and this just isn't doing anything for me.
2Tacky.
3It's not tacky. How it that tacky?
4I love red...I also think this is interesting design. Intentional and in glass...nor random cords. Looks like the voting is neck & neck.
5I really like it, but I think you've gotta have a pretty minimal interior to make it work.
6Ick
7I like it.
8I take every effort to hide cords too, including running them through the walls and under the carpet. I think this design looks messy, but contained. However, I wouldn't keep it in a colorful or busy room, and I don't think this design is strong enough to hold a focal point in a minimal one.
9....tacky...
10FUN
11I would like it if it were completely stuffed full with cord, then it would make sort of an interesting design. Think its just looks kind of messy how it is.
12I can't decde. But I think I too would like it if it were filled with cord.
13....nah.
14eww
15it reminds me of my messy home
16It's divine! It would be perfect in my office.
17I like it.
18its cool but not eye catching
19I like it. There's an open honesty about it.
20Would look cute in a teen room.
21I like it, but it would only be practical if the cord could be extended or retracted from within the base.
22just not feelin' it!
23At first I thought it was a DIY with one of those big orange extension cords... and then I took a closer look. When I make one for myself, I promise the plug won't be so ugly
