Intuitive Illumination

Intuitive Illumination

Gotta love this straightforward desk lamp design! One look at the Slide Lamp and the user will instantly understand how to adjust it. The aluminum base and natural oak components form a triangle with slots that make it easy to slide elements and adjust the lamp’s height and position.

Modern Meets Vintage

Modern Meets Vintage

A part of the “Successful Living” collection by the Diesel Creative Team, the floor and pendant Cage lamps reflect both modern pop culture and vintage style influences. Smooth, bright colored shades contrast with dark, heavy-duty wire, making it an aesthetically sensible choice for both contemporary settings and industrial spaces alike.

Secret Sculptural Lighting

Secret Sculptural Lighting

Free of joints, the Pureness lamp looks like sculptural decor at first glance, but turn it on and it’s near-invisible, flexible LEDs will provide an unexpected glow to light up any room. A clean, elegant design perfect for the modern office or minimal studio.

I love the obvious inspiration behind this one-of-a-kind lamp design by Michael Samoriz. The Microscope LED Lamp aims to inspire designers, artists and other creatives to view their desk not merely as a desk, but as a laboratory where they can experiment with imagination.

The Plug Lamp

The Plug Lamp

Doesn’t it seem like it’s impossible to find an open outlet when you need one?! The Plug Lamp provides a clever (and cute) solution to this problem by incorporating an outlet into the base so power is always handy!

Design Adventures

Design Adventures

The team at Note Design Studio really like to get their hands dirty when they’re hunting for a little creativity. For the Marginal Notes collection here, they ventured deep into the forest, encountering everything from strange characters to abandoned construction sites… all of which become the unique inspirations for this adventurous collection. Hit the jump to learn the story behind each piece!

Power - When You Need It

Power – When You Need It

Blessed with uninterrupted power supply in a city like Mumbai, its ironic that the capital city of New Delhi has to rely on invertors because of the frequent outages. Lights, fans and appliances are no longer the basics, it’s stuff like cellphones, laptops and portable devices that demand energy consumption in a average household. Addressing this need to bridge the gap of supply and consumption is the Ovia, a power reserve that illuminates and juices up devices when needed.

One Sharp Lamp

One Sharp Lamp

The Delta lamp’s slim, sleek appearance and straightforward functionality make it a great desktop lighting solution for the minimal office. The modern aesthetic is complimented by a classic chevron shaped “shade” that houses its ultra-thin but powerful LED light strip. The chevron wing can be rotated up, down or 360 degrees around to cast light in any direction without moving the entire unit. Love it in white!

Wind Chime for Better Illuminations

Wind Chime for Better Illuminations

I have a soft spot for wind chimes and love the subtle music they play. On a spiritual level they are supposed to keep negativity away and increase the good vibrations. A bunch of designers have upped their karmic good by designing a lamp based on the principles of the chimes. The only difference is that the wind movement causes the lamp to harness energy to power the lamp rather than sound the soothing “clinks”.

That's a Light Switch?

That’s a Light Switch?

Yes it is. Remork Design Studio worked with Belgian Switch company Lithoss to come up with a series of unique switches for what normally is considered a trivial element in interior design. Ultimately they ended up with a frameless switch called the Piano. Clean, sober and simple. Hit the jump to see some of the other design projects. We’ll keep an eye out as these are supposed to launch next month.

Swing Along Green Power

Swing Along Green Power

Giraffe Street Lamp is a very cute self-sustaining swing design that provides illumination at night. It harnesses kinetic energy each time you swing and as a double back up, utilizes the solar panel hood to soak some more energy goodness. It’s a very clever design that interweaves play and eco sense into the urban environment. Something that our future generation may as well get used to!

A Lamp for Sleeping Lovers

A Lamp for Sleeping Lovers

Avoiding having a grumpy lover is the inspiration behind designer Francois Rybarczyk’s Cinna lamp! The lamp was designed to be used when you’re reading in bed while your significant other is trying to catch some Zzzzzs. The opaque shell twists to reveal an adjustable, subtle glow emitted from below that won’t disturb. Gotta love the combination of ceramic and cork materials together!

Lightwaves

Lightwaves

The SOL is a truly unique lighting solution that contrasts straight lines with flowing curves in an equally varied combination of materials: rigid steel and an über-flexible light panel. The EL panel is a mere 1.5 mm thick and its wave can be easily adjusted to direct light in any direction the user chooses.
