Manjaca 5 Ans and T Some turn lamp shades into hats. Joséphine Repetto of Manjaca turns lingerie-style lace into lamp shades—for a touch of pure romance. An allusion to her fifth wedding anniversary, 5 Ans is shaped like an engagement ring, only with a lacy shade instead of a diamond. And the simple lace screen in front of T's 40-watt bulb leaves little to the imagination. For both table lamps, the lace is offered in black or gray. 33-6-03-81-43-97; manjaca.com.
