It's in the Details: Janna Ugone Lamps

Janna Ugone-designed lamps are familiar, yet fresh and new. To make the oiled-parchment drum shades, Janna uses a process that dates to the 1920s. But her idea of coloring them by hand and the patterns she uses are contemporary. When you turn the light on, the lampshade is like a painting lit from within. Pictured here is a standing lamp ($760) from the gallery collection, with the spring medley and spice pattern shade. Note the copper stem, the marble base, and hand-cast pewter elements such as the finial and pull chains. Available from Janna Ugone Associates, Easthampton, Massachusetts. 413-527-5530; jannaugone.com
