ampersand & eek


ampersand & eek, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

I'm a fan of the ampersand and Piet Hein Eek.

The ampersand is cool and my favorite character, even if it is not a real character.

In HTML the & always looks a bit strange, with 'amp' stuck behind.

& about Piet Hein Eek:
Besides all the scrap wood designs, this table lamp is one of my favorites too.

The wire lamp with Italian silk tie shade is a stunning design and I'm not fan of neckties.
Never thought I ever could be so happy, accompanied by an orange dotted tie.

    I learn something today, I didn't know that it was called that, now it will not puzzle me any more when I see 'amp' in my blog reading list!:D
    Great lamp! x

    Ampersand... what an intriguing word... I'd never heard it before! (learning lots of things from blogging ;))
