24. November 2010
This right here is called the DSNL, aka the Day Shade Night Light, and it does exactly what it sounds like it does. During the day it blocks the sunlight, and at night, it creates light. But wait, there’s more: it’s build with two materials (mainly,) flexible solar panels and flexible organix light-emmiting diodes (OLED.) [...]

Inspired by coral reefs, underwater structures made from calcium carbonate secreted by corals, Serbian designer Marko Vuckovic has come up with an innovative lighting dubbed the “Coral lamp” that apart from illuminating your place also draws attention toward endangered coral species.

15. October 2010
Inappropriate lighting at work or even at home is possibly one of the major reasons for strained eyes that if not taken proper care can result in severe eye diseases.

14. October 2010
Human actions play such a significant role in design; it’s either evident in the form or in the function. In the Pouring Light, the action is evident in the form and is delightfully executed as well!

10. October 2010
It’s not naked. It’s stripped. Stripped down to a minimalistic look and feel and working order. Essentials, that’s what is here. But it’s not just a stick and lick of fire, it’s a lamp, so it’s got some style too. It’s made to have character-like qualities, turning this functional piece of lighting into a product [...]

5. October 2010
The Weight of Light is a simple structure lamp featuring a unique way to operate the light. Mimicking the style of an industrial scale, the intensity of the lamp is controlled by shifting the “weight” up and down the “scale”. I adore its refreshing approach, the cute way it tips the scale and minimal look. [...]

Keeping this in mind and taking inspiration from their soft glowing tips is the Scent – Incense Stick Mood Lights. A bunch of them charge in a base station and can [...]

10. September 2010
The Scallop Lamp takes obvious inspiration from sea shells and is quite an interesting design. Besides being a floor lamp for ornamental purposes, it doubles up as a flashlight! The top projection detaches to become the handy torch during lights-out. Now that’s what I call really clever designing! It looks chic, has dual purpose and [...]

9. August 2010
Designer Cho Hyung Suk has an affinity for bicycle chains – for their utilitarian function and seemingly beauty. The B-Chain Lamp spins the bike chain into a new kind of object, one that is rigid enough to pose a light into various positions. There’s something oddly anthropomorphic about this design – maybe because it halfway [...]
