Remember his crazy cubic chandeliers ? Here he is again – Robert at the peak of his student career, creating something at once simple but with infinite potential. Control switches sometimes give users the ability to adjust light levels, a step up from the classic on-or-off switch to be sure, but these simple-looking, box-shaped pendant lights take things to another level entirely. Each of the six sides to each cube is independently flexible,... 

No, the other kind of plumbing fixtures – you know: lights, coat racks and the like. Faucets, sinks, toilets and showers are usually all we see of our household plumbing – end caps to an incredible network of hidden tubes and joints that supply us with water every day (and then drain it away again). Made to bend, twist and yet stand the test of time, plumbing pipes and fittings are just begging to be made into other kinds of furnishings...

Depending on how you’re looking at it this Side Table doubles as a lamp or as a bedside table, but either way you’re the winner here if deciding to opt for such a design.

The Stalb Lamps are part of Kassen’s Stalb Lighting Collection and, as you can see in the pictures below, they may or may not come in pairs. According to the creators, the Stalb Lamps are designed by combining “current biomorphic design elements with the Brutalist principle of steadfast truth to materials.” In other words you can expect a steel structure and a concrete base, both respecting their original colors to support... 

Forget designer explanations and architectural theory for a moment, skip augmented-reality buzz-art and over-hypedAR gaming … then take a look at the ‘reality’ on the ‘ground’ as it is: move around this series of white cubes and create your own shadowy wonderland at the intersection of art and architecture. This light table looks like it is somehow casting shadows, and the result is an interactive illusion that... 

It might be a bit drastic, but think of this home as being white vanilla ice cream with the controlled chaos of chocolate poured on top. If you had any doubts as to the power of plywood and its architectural potential, this series of dynamic interior spaces should quell them. The Japanese firm Geneto has a love for MDF, OSB and other works of hybrid wood that they have applied to the installation of everything from store shelving display systems... 

Stuck so deep in a dense city that access to natural light outside (let alone the actual sky above) is simply impossible? There is a remedy for that – though whether you will find these (both static and animated) faux-ceiling scenes and fake-landscape windows from The Sky Factory creative or kitsch is another question entirely. Luminous Sky Ceilings: for most urban interiors, skylight access is impossible. This product takes the place... 

Photo manipulation, montaging and digital editing have grown to have an undeserved negative reputation through uses (and arguable abuses) of tools like Photoshop. The work of Andrew Brooks , however, shows how creative hybrid images can transcend so-called ‘original prints’ and become surreal combinations of still life, landscape, art and sculpture. While some of the scenes are far-fetched and others …  Read More →

These lighting fixtures put the ‘consume’ in ‘consumerism’ – large enough to eat you alive. If you had any doubt that light plays a central role in your life, you will cease to wonder after seeing (and perhaps sitting inside) of your very own surround-lit enclosure. This idea behind ‘Drop Series’ by designer Olivia Decaris is to take household activities that already revolve around light and relative... 

[ Filed under Tableware or in the Furnishings category ] Simple like honey and sweet like a lump of sugar in your favorite afternoon tea, these two designs play off a recognizable and relatively-universal tea bag typology in new and unique and (somewhat) useful ways. First, an elemental pendant lamp for sale from Das Rote Paket (The Red Package, translated) is designed as an upside-down tea mug. It is titled ‘tea lamp’ naturally,... 

[ Filed under Lamps & Lights or in the Furnishings category ] These pot lights from Rotoluxe come in all shapes and sizes, from small and thin minimalist replicas of High Modern designer pots to thick-walled bench planters and conventional cone-shaped cup-and-saucer designs … but they all have one thing in common: they are translucent inside and out, glowing with artificial light. Yes, the above example is as large as it looks –...

[ Filed under Lights & Mirrors or in the Fixtures category ] Modeled on the kind of manual pencil sharpeners (some of us) students grew up with by the doors of classrooms, this may be one of the more classy and convenient hand-powered lighting concepts yet created. And if that were not enough: as a bizarre bonus, you can even still sharpen pencils with it! A simple cylinder, the light itself can be suspended from a string or cord much like...
