Okay, so, I got this lamp, right? It’s called a Flowerpot VP3. I saw it online and thought, “That’s a weird-lookin’ thing, but kinda neat.” Reminded me of a mushroom, all round and colorful. They said it was designed by some guy named Verner Panton back in the ’60s. Apparently, it was a big deal back then. So, I decided to get one and see what the hype is all about.
When it arrived, I unboxed it. It was smaller than I thought, but still had that mushroom vibe. I started fiddling with it, trying to figure out where to put it. It’s got these two half-circle things, one inside the other, and the light bulb goes in the middle. Pretty simple, but it looks cool, you know?

First, I tried it on my desk. It gave off a nice, soft light. Not too bright, not too dim. Good for reading or just chilling.

Then, I moved it to my bedside table. It worked great as a nightlight. I could turn it on when I woke up in the middle of the night, and it wouldn’t blind me. Plus, it just looked cool sitting there.

I even tried it in my living room, on a little side table. It added a nice pop of color and a bit of a retro feel. It’s not a main light, of course, but it’s a nice accent piece.
It’s pretty versatile, you know. You can put it anywhere, and it just works. It’s not just a lamp, it’s like a little piece of art. People come over, and they always ask about it. “What is that thing?” they say. And I’m like, “It’s a Flowerpot lamp, man. It’s a classic.”
The conclusion
So, yeah, I’m happy with it. It’s a cool little lamp. It’s well-made, it looks good, and it’s just a fun thing to have around. If you’re into that kind of stuff, you might want to check it out. It’s a bit pricey, but hey, it’s a design icon, right? You’re not just paying for a lamp, you’re paying for a piece of history or something.
I put it on, I took it off, I moved it around. That little Flowerpot VP3, it’s been all over my place. Now it sits there, looking all cute and stylish. It’s been a fun ride with this little guy.
