Emerald Faerie makes these incredibly intricate lights out of chain, crystal, and magnifying glass. It was the magnifying glasses that caught my eye – a playful element that is carefully placed to highlight some of the finer fixture details.

Oh, and Fiona matched her light fixtures!

Ali Saivoshi’s candle desk lamp was a fun find – candles are screwed in like light bulbs – a nice twist on the traditional lamp.

Molo launched the Hobo Lantern this year – a bag/light or “portable luminary inspired by urban nightlife”. The bag can be plugged in, or can be powered with batteries. It is lit with an energy-efficient LED light source that glows through a delicate pattern of translucent fibers.

Tom Dixon launched the amazing Etch light fixture – an acid etched pendant light inspired by the logic of pure mathematics, and etched from brass sheets. I love it, especially when it’s displayed in clusters!

Pretty light fixtures by LZF-Lamps. The Totem light and the Armadillo light.

The Noho Design District had some great exhibitions this year, including this one at The Future Perfect. The show featured work by Lindsey Adelman, Gabriela Artigas, Matt Gagnon, Lara Knutson, Rich Brilliant Willing, Donna Wilson, and more.

My absolute favorite from the show was Lara Knutson’s Reflective series – especially the pendant, which features an LED light that through an optical illusion look like a traditional incandescent lightbulb. The lampshade is made out of a reflective glass fabric that is made up of microscopic glass beads which magnify light 100 times. The effect is pretty amazing.

Lara used the same reflective material in a series of vases and jewelry, but it was hard to get photos that did the pieces justice.

Mark Moskovitz’s Log Facecord Cabinet.

Loved the three-dimensional appearance of Sylvain Willenz’s Slide Mirror.

Hang On, by Jade Barnes-Richardson for Normann Copenhagen. A coat rack made up of a jumble of coat hangers.

Rich Brilliant Willing’s Timberly Hall Rack – made of solid ash or walnut, with two steel, three aluminum and three brass movable pegs.

Graypants debuted the Slice Cafe + Dining Chairs at ICFF this year. Three chairs can be made from one sheet of plywood, and the only waste created is sawdust. The chair is finished with low-VOC coat that is a byproduct of cheese.

While I saw several products like this at ICFF, I appreciate that Graypants’ commitment to sustainable production extends to their whole collection. For their Scrap light fixtures, they apparently hire homeless folks in Seattle to collect cardboard, which they then laser cut to create the light fixture.

AlessiLux lamps are pretty pricey (~40+ euros!), but they are so good looking. Designed to be the focus of the light fixture themselves, the lamps are nicely designed.

Pretty candle holders by Collective Paper Aesthetics. The Confusions series comes in aluminum, stainless steel, and painted metal, and you fold them to create the candle shape that you want. The photos don’t really give a sense of the scale of the candle holders – wouldn’t they also make a really cool large-scale sculpture, or outdoor light fixtures?

Love the gorgeous and minimal Mantis lamp by Boettcher + Henssler, especially the colored cord and stand paired with the wood elements.
