Cheap Modern DeskPetra and Tegola lamps by Studio Klass
The modern Petra and Tegola lamps were recently unveiled during Milan design week. The lamps are designed to be produced entirely in limestone, both composed in two parts to simplify the manufacturing process. I love the simple shapes the interlock creating beautiful subtle light giving sculptures.
Seltanica Light by Commonwealth
I am really loving the contradiction of surfaces and textures that the Seltanica Light by Commonwealth displays. The light source gives the viewer a better glimpse of what is going on inside the light fixture.
Remembering the tactile pleasures of landscape, moonscape, and perhaps even more so, the fragility of aging skin, the Seltanica Lamps express a formalism unique to the contemporary world. Working within modeling software normally used to create animal membranes for animation, the Seltanica’s interiors are as much a product of technological experiment as they are guided by classic compositional rules for the creation of desirous adornment.
DAIANA lamp by Soup Studio
If you don’t like your floor lamp then flip it upside down. Soup Studio has designed a new floor lamp and turned it upside down. The base and the stem light up instead of the shade. As a bonus the shade turns into a side table. I am sure every time you had company over they would just look at it and want to tell you “you know your lamp is upside down”.
Modern lighting by Olivier Abry
WOW! Stunning one of a kind modern lighting by France based, Olivier Abry. I am pretty sure I had come across his work before but unfortunately I didn’t take the time to dig deeper. Seemingly influenced by Serge Mouille with the long articulated arms and flawless finishes these lamps are a work of art. Olivier says “I am a light creator-assembler”. My favorites are the dual armed fixtures, they have a such great character.
Touch by Ross Gardam
I am really drawn to the shape and simplicity of the Touch light by Ross Gardam. The aluminum version reminds me of a chubby flashlight while the glass version ads a layer of sophistication. The grouping of the aluminum and glass versions together make for a pretty nice chandelier like grouping. You can find these available at Spaceleft.
CristalCane by Benjamin Graindorge for Ymer&Malta
These stunning pieces of art also function as lamps. cristalCane lamps are living beings. Their skeletons are made of glass and they carry the essence of light with grace and elegance: the energy is totally invisible revealed only through its effect – the brilliance of the shine. Benjamin created a limited edition of 8 pieces, 2 prototypes and 2 artist’s pieces.
