Biomimicry is the art of finding inspiration in nature and imitating is design to find use in you daily life. Art of biomimicry might seem simple, but it is hard to copy the best features of evolution; let alone replicate them perfectly. Yet, when it comes to design and décor world, we are talking of ‘imitation’ that is far less daunting, a lot more visual than functional and something that is as quirky as it is imaginative. That is why we bring to you the fun and unique world of table lamps that are shaped like animals. Sure, you can find many individual, artisan products out there that do the same.
