Luxurious light, indeed. This light proves that sustainability sure can be easy on the eyes…

“Studio Verissimo consists of Portugese designers Claudio Cardoso and Telma Verissimo. The core activity of this studio is lighting, furniture and space designs, etc…. Spoon is a light made from plastic coffee spoons which go into the garbage daily by the thousands. The objective was to create a luxurious light with this waste.”

Often texture is used as a way to add interest and drama to an interior- this particular lamp is hammered metal, which adds a very subtle shimmering effect.

Hardwire. 100W bulb (not included). UL listed.

24″diam x 9.25″h.

This is quite stunning.

“Creepers is a complex pattern of fine, light catching leaves made of laser sintered nylon. Clipping an array of Creeper stems on floor-to-ceiling cables creates floating clouds of light that divide interior spaces. Intertwined leaves sprout from the stem in a seemingly random disorder: collectively these surfaces cover a pre-ordained reflector area. Each leaf follows the same structural rules but with considerable scope for individual variance. Thicknesses taper from the main stem to reflectors thin enough to be semi-translucent. The stems contain LEDs that project light onto the leaves.”

“The bold but spare Cross Pendant Light, winner of the red dot award in 2003, is a roto-molded double cruciform lamp that distills the iconic shape to its bones and accomplishes it with ironic refinement. When switched on, it becomes a luminous white or orange plus sign, radiating soft circles of light from each end. Hung laterally in multiples, a group of Pendants forms a constellation of stars. A light bulb fits into the cross’s center through the upper cylinder. The lamp can be suspended from above to achieve a soft, complex glow or placed on a table as a sculptural light source. Bulb (not included) Incandescent 60W/120V/E26/A19.”

I have no idea what this is made out of (acrylic?), but it sure is pretty.

Know that this is being posted not to make you blow any furnishing budget you might or might not have, but because it’s so wierdly pretty there’s really no choice in the matter.

“The Murano glass diffusers of Barber Osgerby’s “Supernova” test the ability of even the best glass-blowers; it is very difficult to produce a hand-blown piece of glass in this diameter with uniform color and thickness.
Each module is filled with clear Swarovski crystals to form a refracting layer. With a light source inserted above the layer of crystals, the chandelier produces soft up-light through the glass and refracted down-light through the convex crystal base.”

This is something else. Designed by Sam Hecht, this lampshade and bulb are both made of the same silicone material, which allows flexibility. Kinda neat, huh?

Sometimes product pictures are kinda funny, especially when a model is involved. The light is pretty neat, though…

What the heck? I saw this and it hit me up side the head, or whatever the saying might be. Spectacular and intriguing, indeed.

“Irregular and apparently random intersections of spatial planes create a volume around the light source and produce the dynamic character of the exuberant ceiling lamp designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez. By evoking the dynamism of an explosion, the methacrylic planes – available in the white or two-coloured (white/grey or white/red) versions – seem to escape the central luminous core and explode in all directions. A highly plastic luminous body, characterised by the intrigues of light and shade, of great visual impact and yet aerial, ideal for single-handedly personalising interiors of various styles.
Big Bang provides an intense, decisive and direct light. The particular arrangement of the surfaces guarantees maximum reflection and at the same time avoids dazzling, whilst offering a different lighting effect from all angles. ”

Available in White, Grey, or Red.

Apart of Mixko’s Hat Trick collection, the Delight and Coron lampshades will certainly liven up a room. Made from wool felt hats, the size and shape of these little lampshades would be perfect for any spot that needs a little something extra.

Delight lampshade (w/cut-out butterflies) available in Cream White, Sky Blue, Blossom Pink or Ruby Red.
Coron lampshade available in many, many more.

(These lampshades must be used with energy Efficient Light Bulbs – Max 20w. Use of normal bulb will cause the shade to de-form.)

This lamp is delightful. You’d have to make sure you had a bulb/socket, but I really like the idea of a slight chime…would be peaceful I think.

“This lamp is ingenious as well as delicately beautiful. Five pieces of porcelain fit together over a light bulb (light bulb & socket not included) to create this light, all held together by gravity. Very natural & zen, the piece will also give a slight chime if it finds itself in a light breeze.”

Designed by Zia Priven, these handmade wallpaper shade lamps are quite the thing to add that extra kick to any room. I especially love this one, but there are other colors and designs available for your perusal.

All pendant lamps come standard with four feet of cord and a matching canopy in white or black.

Each style is available in three sizes:

Something different in the big bad world of lighting. Not that it’s really that “bad” or all that big, but you know what I mean. I think the drop design adds a bit of fun to a room setting.
