Those things are goddamn uncomfortable! Oh and by rustic I just kinda mean comfortable and not made out of plastic, I think I've had enough plastic hehe

Oh here's a couple of pictures of lamps very similar to those that were in my bedroom:

 

 

Apparently it sure is trendy again, since this one's selling for GBP 125, haha we should've sold ours instead of throwing it away:
A vintage 1960's/1970's ufo pendant light in luminescent opalescent plastic and bright orange lacquered metal

Purchased in Denmark, this vintage 60's or 70's ufo-style light has a central band and cap made of very high-gloss brilliant tangerine orange lacquered metal, while the top and bottom halves of the main body are matching opalescent and smooth hard-moulded plastic discs with a gently undulating sculpted form. The light has a diameter of 35cm (13.75 inches) and is in excellent condition.

that stuff is AWESOME!!!

sorry you became allergic to it.

and no, i don't think im lucky for having grown up in boring living rooms, i never liked my parents' furniture, it always annoyed me. when i was about to leave home the finally had the dough to purchase custom made furniture from an architect friend of the family-- he charged a fortune for his stuff and made it for my parents at cost-- still it was ultraexpensive-- clean lines, chrome, heavy glass, really cool stuff. anyway i didn't get to enjoy much of that. there is apparently some stuff of my grandparents around as well-- some art deco shit i hope to some day get my hands on.

but anyway-- i thought by rustic you meant this type of stuff:

 

ha ha. not my thing, but it has its place in the universe i suppose.
