Understated playfulness

One of the ceiling lamps of Burgoo American Bar and Restaurant in The Block (a mall in Quezon City). Much more subdued and elegant than the brightly-colored lamps in their branch in The Podium (a mall in Pasig City), but just as playful.

  1. Seattle is giving you a shout out with Mondy's photo! It was on your blog that I finally put two and two together about Dr. José Rizal and the bridge and park named for him here in Seattle. Cheers, and I love today's playful lighting fixture. Fun shadows.

  5. It sure does set a mood for a great dining experience. I like the spider web effect it projects on the ceiling too.

  6. I like all the different elements that go into this lamp. The shape, the colors, the pattern on the ceiling...it's hard to tell just how large it is.

  15. «Louis» likes the play of the geometry between the fixture and the shadows. Nice shot, Hilda!

    This well-designed light fixture would actually work in some churches...

  16. I like the idea of a lamp within a lamp: it's easier to clean the outer glass leving undisturbed the beautiful and probably delicate interior.
