As a very contemporary touch.

This is a pretty lamp; unfortunately, Wayfair uses its vendor's copy and images. The description is highly misleading. When the bulb dies on this lamp, one must just throw it in a landfill. There is no guarantee as to hours, just speculation. I feel duped by the whole process. The vendor is non-responsive and sent parts with no instructions as to what they are for. Very disappointed.

Good piece. The black swirl is very evident, so ensure you have some black in your room to pull this in. Definitely not a high end piece. Truly what the title says . . . "novelty" . . . just a little fun.
