The Molting lamp’s unique arrangement of aluminum and walnut strips that make up its classically shaped shade create a visual eccentricity that appears to change with the viewers perspective. One moment it’s wood, another metal, and sometimes even an amalgamation of the two! The effect is exaggerated by the lined pattern of shadows created by the space between each strip.

Wouldn’t it be a boon if you had a system that told you about your upcoming flat tire? I’m not talking about some random card-pulling session but a proper system like the Flat Tire Warning Light. The device combines a Tire Pressure Sensor, LED Technology and Vibration Generation Chip to tell you in advance that a flat tire is coming your way. Get ready!

The insect-inspired Swarm lighting series introduces playful illumination in the form of clustered, wasp-shaped pendants that feel like a colony suspended in motion! With distinct Scandinavian design quality, their simple composition of glass, metal, and elegant woodcraft hearkens back to a simpler time when the creative process was just as important as the end product.

If this rabbit looks familiar, it’s because you probably saw it as a kid, or have even seen her in your own kid’s books today! The lead character in Dutch artist Dick Bruna’s picture book series, Miffy the rabbit has been around since 1955. As old as she is, her iconic, minimal aesthetic is the epitome of timeless. This modern lamp by Story North brings new life to Miffy, further preserving the familiar fragment from many of our childhoods.
