CONTEMPORARY OFFSHOOT
Each No. 303 lamp by David Weeks—whose lights you may have spotted in Saks, at the W New York Hotel, or on Gossip Girl—is made to order in the designer's Brooklyn studio, with three steel arms that pivot like microphone stands.

MID-CENTURY ICON
One of a series of lithe, insectlike lights he designed in the early 1950s, Serge Mouille's three-legged MO1 floor lamp was meant to have the same sense
of movement as a kinetic sculpture, like a functional version of an Alexander Calder mobile.
