Cheap Modern DeskRepurposed design at Castor
I am totally digging on the design ideas at Castor. Spherical shades salvaged from a defunct lighting factory, coffee table made from 1-3/8 thick marble slabs reclaimed from building, hand carved from a single piece of limestone and, well I think you get the idea. The modern lighting is stunning with exactness and industrial fused together. I love the Credenza carved from a single slab of limestone with a carved door, what a killer piece.
Polycarbonate Stick Light
The “jack Straw” effect that is created when multiples of the Polycarbonate Stick Light are used is pretty stunning. I could see all sorts of applications for this fixture. I think it would be pretty cool to put one on each side of a wall to see if you could create the illusion of the rod going through the wall.
The plunger by SAYS WHO
I don’t know if the name is off putting but I like the design of “The plunger” by SAYS WHO. Now don’t go running to your closest big box store and buy out all of the plungers to make your own modern pendant lights. Obviously the design was thought out and the idea of it looking like a plunger wasn’t a problem. What’s your take?
The Plunger pendant design is simple, functional and fun. The various parts of the lamp; the wire, bamboo socket and rubber shade come together to define an organic pendant that combine warm and soft materials.
HANOI Lamp from Prandina
I am really liking the HANOI Lamp from Prandina. Yes it reminds me of a little guy wearing a wide cone shaped hat but I love the simple silhouette that is created with the materials being one continuous piece.
FEDERICO CHURBA, 2011, Table lamp for diffused downward lighting.
Materials - Thermoformed metacrilate diffuser, matte-white painted structure, white or colored sylicone covered feeding wire.
FURORE by Lezando Studio
Furore by Lezando Studio has an amazing elegance balanced with a modern design. I would love to see a cluster of these, maybe three hung at different levels. The choice of materials lends itself to modern or to a more elegant or Hollywood regency feel.
Vessel Designed by Samuel Wilkinson
Vessel, designed by Samuel Wilkinson and produced by Decode is so striking. I love the color combination of the smoky glass on the white and gray fixturing. The effect produced when lighted is rather cool as well.
Influenced by the original Limited Edition Series, Vessel consists of a blown glass form designed specifically to celebrate the Plumen 001 bulb. When illuminated the glass tint mutes the light without hiding the form and produces an unexpected irregular reflection that appears holographic.
