This set of Beach Ball lamps by Toby Sanders is adorable! Sanders debuted this smile-inducing series of lighting at the Milan Furniture Fair, and while they're probably intended for a kid's room, I think they'd also look great in any beach or waterfront home.
Each Beach Ball lamp is handmade from an old beach ball. Toby Sanders fills each of the balls with non-toxic resin, cuts holes in them and then paints their interiors white to finish them.
