Jumbled porcelain is the latest obsession for beloved French lamp designer Herv Matejewski, whose newest lamps are assembled from porcelain cups, saucers, bowls, ramekins and cake plates, each in a slightly different configuration.

Rob Whitleff on Decorating Sense (you know, the show everyone makes fun of on HGTV) did this like, oh, I don't know, five years ago.

Don't you mean Robb Woofleff? Yum. But really, I'm a Sashaphile.

I had the same thought about having seen this on Decorating Cents!

So, how do you drill holes in china without it shattering? Specifics would be great because this would actually be fun to try.

Er.... amusing, in the "you've got to be kidding" sense.

alicia--

A ceramic drill bit, some painter's tape on the spot you are drilling, and a lot of patience.

Patrick, I just meant that I'd rather follow Sasha around like his puppy than...well, I digress.

It really does look like something from Decorating Cents.

Personally, I wouldnt pay $1 for it at a yard sale. Too cluttered.

I actually think it's really cool, maybe I'll make one sometime.
