The lamp, on which you can do your own embroidery, is from the Hobby collection by F.H. The text by Sylvia Jokelova - Burda is Dead refers to the legendary magazine of patterns for women's dresses, which was one of the few ways to differentiate yourself in the times of Socialism. 

Although the patterns were based on standardised models, with some creativity, girls and women could easily develop unique models thanks to Burda. Jokelová interprets this historical fact through a design idea that also offers an easily individualizable approach.
