her-movie--beach.153919In case gymnastics is not for you you might have gone to the movies instead to see Spike Jonze’s dreamy sci-fi love story “Her”. The film featured quite a few LA landmarks – a lot of them we instantly recognized, others we didn’t but we did come across this LA Times handy guide to all the Los Angeles film locations.

Fun fact: If you loved the high-waisted trousers the men were sporting in the movie, they can now be yours!

Lambda_Wall_Lights_l.163222They might as well be from the not so distant future. But with most items being vintage at GL7 we can give away, that this strikingly architectural pair of “Lambda” sconces by Vico Magistretti for Artemide, was in fact designed in 1961 [along with the Omega series]. The molded two part glass is held by a minimalistic nickel plated metal frame. The sconces have a two light capacity per sconce and are in excellent condition.
