Looking through the lastest interiors, I've have noticed the popular use of lights by George Nelson. Introduced in 1947, these lights are constructed of a steel wire and covered in translucant plastic to emit a soft glow. The sculptural bubble lights have had a resurgence with the Mid Century Modernism followers for some time but they're now popping up in fresh and classic interiors. They're also making an appearance in colour for a limited time.

I haven't found many in NZ -  the occasional vintage one pops up in TradeMe. However, the US and Kiwi dollar is not looking so bad these days - check out Modernica and Room and Board.
