A rather audacious title for a blog, but we couldn’t resist it and looking it over we think its, well, pretty darn hip. We especially liked the photo essay showing the extreme make over of that bastion of uber hippness – can it get any hipper than that? – W Hotel in Manhattan

Scroll through the photos and you’ll find a large arching floor lamp that has the same shape and concept as the George Kovacs floor lamp – only with a drum shade rather than the elegant Kovacs bowl shade. We prefer George’s. Let us know what you think!
