Accidents may happen, but we’re certainly not one to overlook a paint disaster of these proportions. The culprit? Nathalie Bernollin, whose Oups! freestanding lamp for Direct D-Sign is a nerve-racking tribute to a childhood watching her craftsman father precariously lining up paint pots in his workshop. An upturned bucket forms the lampshade and a spill-shaped base shoulders the stand, all made from sustainably sourced metal, in line with Bernollin’s commitment to recyclable and eco-friendly materials. Kids, don’t try this at home.
