Rustic Lighting by Cathrine Kullberg

Fall is definitely here in Boston. Normally I would be excited about this, it's just that today's weather has me a bit glum. High winds, cold rain slapping my face and temperatures in the 40s, I already find myself looking to spring for salvation and winter isn't even here yet! Help!

The Deco Detective sure knows how to take my mind off the weather and focus it on some really cool rustic lighting that is perfectly fall-appropriate. In a great post from the other day, the Deco Detective featured some beautiful lighting by Norwegian designer Cathrine Kullberg. This is quintessential fall lighting and seeing these fixtures really got me thinking about cool, crisp fall afternoons, leaves changing colors, and wood-burning fire places.


Norwegian Forest Table Lamp
Based in Oslo, Norway, Kullberg built her own company, Cathrine Kullberg Lighting and launched her first lamp, "Norwegian Forest" in 2007. All of Kullberg's pieces have a uniquely homemade look, while still maintaining a certain refined elegance. Using nature as her inspiration, Norwegian Forest lamps draw on the classic Scandinavian tradition of using thin birch strips as the main medium, depicting a nature scene of a deep pine forest filled with flora and fauna. The blond birch veneer shines warmly when lit up creating a beautiful light display in whatever room its set up in. Kullberg's beautiful detailing and exquisite craftsmanship shine through, literally! Norwegian Forest lights are available as a large pendant light, small pendant light and as a table lamp. Absolutely beautiful!

The pieces range in price from $550 to $750 and can be purchased here. Lights out until next time! - Via The Deco Detective/ Photography By Line Böhmer Lökken via Cathrine Kullberg Lighting

Thanks for the link love Jamie =) Cool that you liked my first "Norwegian design" post! Glad we could brighten your day (after all, we do know a thing or two about how to tackle bad weather up here in the North...) Take care!
