Who would go for something like that in order to illuminate…anything? Not too many people, right?
After viewing this picture, some of you changed opinion for sure. This is what we understand by the term “oil lamp” today; colored flame lamps are really special for any ambient that you wish to create. You’re having a house party this weekend? Embellishing your garden with colored flame torches or oil lamps could be that one high inspiration that you need to make your event outstanding, as an unique and unforgettable result.
Do you want to impress your significant other with a special romantic dinner? These paraffin oils burn with very little smoke residue. The light is intense and bright and perfect for any occasion. Unlike in the earlier mentioned case of colored flame lamps, in this case the oils are colored and not the flames, but the results are somewhat similar. You can purchase these kind of lights at “More than light” physical or online stores.
Who would’ve thought of this when hearing “oil lamp”? See what awesome effects they can create, the only “flaw” about fire is that it burns. That’s another way of saying that you need to be careful if you choose to decorate your homes with oil lamps because they have the inconvenient of not being safe, especially if there are kids around.
But more than for designing purposes, oil lamps are used nowadays for…home shrines.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a christian or a buddhist, if you are jewish or muslim, we all light a light to the same God, and these modern oil lamps are specially designed for your own home shrine, for the place where you want to speak or just listen to God. Make that place a very desirable one, maybe it will instigate you to pray more, with the time.
This is a designer old lamp (aka “A Cordless Moment oil lamp”, by Thomas Bernstrand) that you can purchase for $169. Is it expensive, is it cheap? It’s not really outstanding, but I would want to have it in my home for the safe design and discreet “twist”. It blends with the environment almost totally. Great job, Bernstrand!
Even the swiss kerosen light that you see in the picture above can look awesome if it’s combined with the right design elements. One thing is clear, that oil lamps are not dead yet. They’re still used by people who are fond of God or romantic designs; or maybe they’re simply nostalgic about the past times. Either way, designers do a favor to those who like to illuminate their interiors with this type of lights, turning oil lamps into safer items while providing them with modern looks, worthy of your money. They still have numerous “fans” among designers and clients, so they might still get to live a longer life than that of my whole generation, if I start counting the years from now. These lamps are capable of “living” a very long life though, and they have a long history behind also. They’re still a great illumination option, as long as you make sure they’re safe for the environment and for your family members.
