Lamps for HD
The ideas for raising money for Huntington's Disease are endless. What makes some ideas more successful than others is the passion of those involved. We've seen lawnmower racing and now we have another unique idea...
Lamps
Yep, they make lamps for HD and so far they've raised over $270,000! Here's some excerpts from an article on this wonderful couple in New Zealand:
The Clintons arrived in Marlborough earlier this year after a three-year stint in Moscow, where Mr Clinton was a maintenance officer at the New Zealand embassy.
While there, the pair came up with the idea of making the flamboyantly shaped lamps and spent some time coming up with designs.
They describe the lamps as "mood lighting" which creates a soft ambience in which people can wind down in.
All sorts of materials are incorporated in the shades, including sheets of music, tassels, leopard prints, thick furs, and coloured fish skins.
They said the name of their business - Lampworks, Art That Shines - reflected the idea that the shades were works of art which had been created with care.
The Clintons plan to launch the enterprise officially on September 13 with a display at The Millennium Art Gallery and hope to sell the lighting around New Zealand.
