Freedom of Creation Specialize in Digital Manufacturing by Janne Kyttanen

Freedom of Creation is one the first design companies to specialize in design for Digital manufacturing. Digital manufacturing is the process of combining a 3D CAD file with, for instance, a laser sintering machine and as a result, a virtual electronic file is rendered into a solid object. Significant economic benefits, such as elimination of warehouse, stock, and assembly process, reduction in transportation costs and just-in-time production can be achieved.

Established & Sons Beam Lighting System by Industrial Facility Studio

Established & Sons Beam Lighting System by Industrial Facility Studio

When a child draws a light, they not only draw the source of the light, but also they try to draw the quality of light itself – as if light were an object. This simple idea is involved in ‘Beam’. It’s an illustration of light itself as it emanates from a metal shade. A combination of ambient and directional light, capturing the moment when light is projected, casting light down and spreading it around.

Sawaya Vortexx Chandelier by Zaha Hadid

Sawaya Vortexx Chandelier by Zaha Hadid

The design language explored in the Vortex is in line with a series of furniture pieces realized in collaboration with Sawaya & Moroni. Fluidity and seamlessness are conceptual terms that best describe the appearance of this 1.8m wide and 0.8m high chandelier. Its complex curvilinearity follows a double helix connecting its beginning to its end and therefore forming an endless ribbon of light.

Cumulus Light Canopy by Steven Haulenbeek

Cumulus Light Canopy by Steven Haulenbeek

This lighting concept utilizes photographer’s translucent shoot-through umbrellas as modular components to create a scalable light canopy. The accumulation of these umbrellas, hung upside down, creates a cloud form. The umbrella is an object that all people can identify with. In my lighting application, the object is recontextualized to create playful light rather than reference the dark and dreary day.

Tubo - Tree Trunk Lit From Within by Massimo Barbierato

Tubo – Tree Trunk Lit From Within by Massimo Barbierato

Tubo is a neon tube covered by a maple-wood or chestnut lampshade. It is a wooden cylinder running on a luminous segment. By lowering or heightening this cylinder, you control the amount of light emitted and its chromatic effects. You can opt for a cooler light source (by pulling the neon tube out partially), or a warmer light source (by covering it completely).

Isn’t this neat We think so and love this extremely unique concept. You’ll really surprise everyone with this beautifully innocent book. The book of lights pop up protagonist emits a tabletop warming glow. A wonderfully crafted and cleverly folded lamp springs to life from the hardy white pages of the bound book, powered by a simple low voltage adapter. Finally a coffee table book that you’ll actually open.

Jumo - Space Saving Lamp by Edouard Larmaraud

Jumo – Space Saving Lamp by Edouard Larmaraud

I like the idea of a lamp which doesn’t have the same shape when it’s on or off. When it’s off this lamp looks like a little box. And when you open it, the lamp lights up thanks to a contact switch. Compared to the other desk lamps, this one can almost disappear when unused.

Norwegian Forest Table Light by Catherine Kullberg

Norwegian Forest Table Light by Catherine Kullberg

Norwegian Forest lights draw on a classic Scandinavian tradition of using thin birch strips for lighting. Norwegian Forest lights show a deep pine forest with animals in light and shade. An eagle registers movement on the ground is it prey or predator When lit, the blonde birch veneer shines with a warm glow, and the delicately cut forest motif allows white light to filter out between the highlights of the trees.

Bendant Lamp - Flat-packed Chandelier by Jaime Salm

Bendant Lamp – Flat-packed Chandelier by Jaime Salm

The Bendant Lamp is a flat-packed chandelier composed of a series of leaf-like shades surrounding a central fixture. Bend the shades up or down and create unique light and shadow arrangements. Material and process guide the Bendant Lamp’s design, making it a true example of eco-centric design. The size of the lamp, shape of the cuts and flat packaging are a result of material and manufacturing efficiencies.
