Mother Lamp  
All in the Pop family

In keeping with the Pop style, lighting designers started using brightly coloured plastics in playful shapes. The Glo-Up collection of lamps was available in red, yellow and white plastic. Mother could stand on the table or floor, alongside the Kid who was smaller. The tiniest members of the family were wall sconces.

Does the name Douglas Ball sound familiar? 

He designed the Clipper - the cocoon-like office that was delivered to your doorstep at the beginning of your time travel. Douglas Ball is one of Canada's most famous industrial designers. He has won many awards around the world for his office furniture and seating designs
