Toad table lamp design by Timo Niskanen, Himmee. Toad lamp consists of three parts; a handblown opal glass shade, an oak wood base part and a textile-coated cable. Scandinavian design language is also present in the selection of the materials. Authentic materials glass and wood give the lamp a high-class feeling.
Special Finnish woodworking skills are necessary for manufacturing the base part!
The lamp is available in two different sizes. The colours of the base part are natural oak and black oak. The lamps work perfectly alone but they like the company of others. The name of the Toad lamp comes from Super Mario´s mushroom friend Toad.

Story of Himmee:
"This is what I have been doing all my spare time for the past year and a half. And now here it is; HIMMEE. I am Timo the founder of Himmee, a designer, a lower secondary shool shop class teacher and last but most importantly a father of two sons.
Back in my childhood I built Legos and my NHL career was left as a distant dream. During my professional career I have designed products, marketing material and everything related. As my own mission I have travelled around the world carrying my lamps around and trying to find right manufacturers for them. I have found a few good ones but the collaboration has always ended for various reasons.
Bored with constant calculating and compromises, I put the lamps aside and concentrated on teaching. However, passion attracted me to lamp design again and the idea of my own lighting brand developed in my mind. I had doubts about leaping from being a designer to handling the whole business. Encouragement from my loved ones helped and I decided to launch my own lighting brand.
Himmee is my idea of good design without compromises and calculation directly to you."
