A vibrant part of design culture today is a mix from past design periods. For example, this table lamp designed by Mario Botta is a remarkable design where through the use of innovation; the light is able to emit different patterns of light due to small movements of the lamp and twisting the lampshade. The design seen here is similar to the geometrical and simpleness of modern design whilst given a remake with patterns and the hidden ability to move and change. The lamp has an unnecessary design of black and white stripes and changing of direction on the lamp itself bringing forward the unnecessary decoration that many design critiques have debated against in past design eras. Although looking simple, the historical quotation of this design adds more value than the original design itself. The lamp can almost be seen as ironic imitation of work around the Bauhaus time with its similar shape and structure.
