The photograph more or less took itself.<\/p>\n<p>But we didn\u2019t know what Lotte lamps actually were until Kate filled us in. As it turns out, the name Lotte lamps\u2014or just Lotte\u2019s, as they are so frequently called\u2014refers to the heavy stoneware lamps (with fiberglass shades) first produced in 1956 by the Bostlund family of Copenhagen. Gunnar Bostlund had trained at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dtu.dk\/English.aspx\/\">Technical University of Denmark<\/a> as a ceramic engineer. His wife, Lotte, had studied arts and crafts. Many of their lamps were hand-painted and signed by Lotte herself. The Bostlunds had six children, and they all participated in the making of the family\u2019s lamps, whether they were glazing, wiring or fabricating the hard-to-make shades. By 1962, the Bostlunds\u2019 lamps were being sold at Georg Jensen in New York and also at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.georgjensen.com\/ca\/\">Georg Jensen<\/a> store on Bloor Street here in Toronto. Lotte\u2019s lamps are now highly collectible.<\/p>\n<p>The prices of the lamps in the photograph, reading from left to right, are $375 (medium size brown), $250 (small brown), $380 (tribal pattern), $650 (large white) and $750 (robin\u2019s egg blue).<\/p>\n<p>INabstracto is at 1160 Queen Street West<br \/>\n416-533-6362<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/inabstracto.com\/\"> www.inabstracto.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We dropped in to INabstracto a few days ago to chat with owner Kate Eisen, and it was only when we were leaving that we noticed the delicious still-life she had made from grouping five Lotte lamps together on a shelf.
