Tulips that never wilt: MoMA exclusively reissues Mike Bliss’s 1980s flower lamp to turn any corner of your home into eternal spring
This retro flower lamp is just too cute!
No matter how beautiful your home decor is, without a lamp with soul, something always feels missing. While browsing the MoMA Design Store recently, I completely fell for this “Flower Lamp” in dopamine-bright colors! It’s not just a lamp; it’s practically an art installation for the home.

A romantic reissue from 1984: What’s the story behind the Mike Bliss Flower Lamp?
The Flower Lamp is a classic design from the 1980s by designer Mike Bliss. MoMA has recently brought it back in an exclusive reissue, faithfully recreating the bold, vivid, and slightly playful style of the era. Made of powder-coated steel, it has a polished feel and a far more premium metallic sheen than typical plastic lamps. Place it in the living room or bedroom, and any casual photo will look cover-worthy.
A free-spirited design: The gooseneck stem lets your flower “grow toward the sun”
The most captivating feature is undoubtedly the bendable “gooseneck” stem. Adjust the flower’s angle to suit your mood: let it stand tall like it’s blooming at dawn, or dip its head slightly as if it’s resting at dusk. That interactivity makes the lamp feel so alive, as though you’ve planted a giant tulip at home that will never fade. Looking at it every day is bound to lift your mood.
It breaks up the cold feel of modern minimalist furniture. This nostalgic design brings out a sense of passion for life. If you’re like me – a plant killer who still wants some greenery at home – this lamp is the perfect alternative. It doesn’t just light up the room; it also brightens your weary spirit after work.
