Hasta La Ideas

Using his own original origami folding compositions, designer Jiangmei Wu’s latest creation is this series of light fixtures made from recycled cotton paper and LED light bulbs. Each shade can be compressed into a flat piece (for easy shipping or storage), but once folded they are entirely self-supportive. Organic in construction and material, it’s a beautiful collection that is at once simple and intricate.

The Glint lamp is a simple two-part design that combines a single unattached bulb with an angular metal structure for directional light or subtle ambiance. Two magnets embedded in the bulb’s cork socket allow it to be positioned above, below, behind or anywhere else the user chooses. The metal structure is ideal for holding books or magazines – simply position the light to your liking for the perfect glow when it’s time to read.

The Garlic Lamp (as you might have guessed by the moniker) is a simple and literal interpretation of its namesake. The shape of the pungent bulb actually makes for a great pendant shade that produces downward directional lighting as well as an ambient glow through the translucent material. Ok, ok… so it’s not for everybody, but I can totally see it in an Italian restaurant or maybe a country kitchen!

For the generations surrounding mine, there’s always going to be something magical about a digital product that requires only solar power to work. Because of this – and because the product we’re about to look at here is simply wonderful – it simply must be made. Or we hope it’ll be made: it’s the Clip•Holding the sunshine by a group working at the Shannxi University of Science and Technology, and it’s cute!

This conceptual design takes its physical form from the simple chip clip – or that’s what you might know it as. The larger area on one side of the clip is a solar panel that collects power throughout the day. On the other side you’ve got a touch switch and an LED light panel that shines rather brightly when you’ve made a tap. The energy is transferred from one side of the device to the other through some simple contacts that roll around the center clip contact.

Schneid Enlightenment has hit the nail on the head with their first attempt at in-house design and manufacturing. This unique series of pendant lamps applies thin poplar pieces to organic shapes to create a natural-feeling, warm, ambient light as well as a structurally interesting room element.
