Bright Bamboo

Inspired by the wood-grass of the same name, the Bambú lamp adopts the form of the bamboo’s iconic, column-on-column shape in a multifunctional lighting solution with a subtle oriental feel. The smaller of the two sizes doubles as a stool, side table or even a bucket for keeping your sake cold while the other is primarily purposed as a planter for larger vegetation. In pure white polypropylene resin, it’s a durable and attractive addition to modern spaces, inside and out.

Designer: Santiago Sevillano

Beutifully Archaic Lighting

There’s something sort of “stone-age” about the Kaji lamp & its simplistic, yet striking look that appears to be the work of a caveman’s first encounter with an electric light bulb. A single arm extends from the cord, effectively making the cord itself an integral part of the structure rather than a cumbersome nuisance. Propped on a slim teak fork, the unique construction creates an aesthetic reversal of the archetypical tripod desk lamp. A beautiful interpretation of the minimal/raw style that’s in vogue.

Shadow-Inspired Lighting

This large pendant light is based on the universal art of hand shadows where individuals use their hands to create birds, rabbits, and other figures. To merge this age-old tradition with modern materials and lighting, the innumerable cluster of hands create an expressive shade to shield direct light as well as casts familiar shadows on the surrounding walls.

Material: ECOLOTEK- durable, fully compostable material composed of natural hemp-fibers, minerals and binder.

Designer: J.P. Meulendijks

Functional, Sculptural Lighting

The Worker lamp is designer Pascal Howe’s first addition to the VDI 2860 collection of “functional sculptures.” The design draws inspiration from his fascination for technical details as well as vinyl toys- a bit of nostalgia from being a child of the 80s and 90s. While the vinyl toys are typically small, The Worker is strikingly large at over four meters high. With the technological and structural intricacies completely visible, the design is complimentary to both industrial and minimal styles and also functions as a durable lighting solution for a variety of work areas.

Lighting Gone Linear

The Polyline Desk Lamp replaces the mechanical & visual complexity of traditional task lights with the versatility of a linear LED strip & a simple, minimal aesthetic. The linear form produces strong but diffused light for desk or table work, but can be activated in portions to provide localized lighting for specific tasks. Instead of bulky, expensive, & failure-susceptible mechanical joints, it has a fluid, almost seamless form with maximum rigidity and minimal part lines. 

Polyline’s impossibly long reach is made possible by a  weighted base and its aluminum construction is not only strong and recyclable, but provides a wide range of possibilities for surface colors and finishes.

Designer: Dustin Brown

Illuminautical

The shape of the HullOled luminaire was inspired by the skeleton of a ship’s hull and features a central supporting beam and ten outstretched arms each with a separate Philips Lumiblade OLED panels. The unique shape and large construction give the impression that the relatively massive structure is floating effortlessly above the illuminated area.

Irregular Symmetry Light

The Schwarzlicht, named after designed Markus Schwarz, is an ultramodern lighting solution with a simple composition of steel and LED strips. LED strips are positioned on the inside face of each steel section so light is visible from any angle the pendant is viewed. Though its shape appears irregular, the position of the LEDs ensures light is dispersed evenly.

The Perfect LED Desk Lamp

Finally! Someone made an LED desk lamp that can change from a cool blue color to a warmer yellow color with a touch of a button. On top of that, it has a USB port for charging. To add to that pile, it looks pretty sweet. OMG, I used the word “sweet”. I must be short on adjectives because I’m actually really excited about this lampe from Satechi.

The versatile lamp was designed to meet the lighting needs of business pros, students and busy moms and features user friendly touch controls to toggle between four different brightness levels. The sleek and glossy lamp’s four different modes provide the ideal amount of light for enjoying a good book, studying for an upcoming test, taking a load off after a busy day or having a peaceful night’s rest.

  • Reading Mode – Stimulates concentration and reduces eye strain with mid-range color temperatures (4300K-5300K)
  • Study Mode – Increases attention and concentration with high-range color temperatures (6000K-7000K)
  • Relaxation Mode – Promotes relaxation along with improved mood with low-range color temperatures (2500K-3300K)
  • Bedtime Mode – Encourages deep sleep with a comfortable soft light (2500K-3300K)

The Satechi Smart LED Desk Lamp is available for an introductory price of $99.99 at Satechi and Amazon.

Bringing the Blacklight Back

The term “blacklight” usually brings to mind the tackier part of the 1990s and spring-break-style glowing paint parties, but these modern lamps shows that the blacklight can also be refined and elegant. Both use the basic shape of the classic bulb; one clustered with  free-form curves that emits UV, and the other a single incandescent bulb tinted black for ambient light.
