The Chords lamp by Teruhiro Yanagihara is a very simple, geometric fixture. It is designed around two steel disks that are bent at the chord line, creating a multifaceted lampshade that changes as you view it from different angles.
This is cool – it’s like the katamari of miniature design chairs. The chandelier/artwork was created by Paola Pivi, out of a bunch of miniature chair replicas produced by Vitra.
I’m intrigued by Christian Flindt’s Lightblock Chair – a traditional form hidden within a blocky form, which is only exposed through light.
I featured Hommin’s Favorite Things lamp yesterday, but wanted to share one other project with you – the Sketch Lamp, which is both a lamp and a light box. This would have been handy in architecture studio, for sure!
Favorite Thing, by Hommin, is a pendant lamp that incorporates and displays your most treasured objects. I am imagining mini-object dioramas! So fun!
Love this new Pendant Wired Lamp by Something From Us. The form is simple and classic, and the materials and construction, modern. The pendant comes in black or white, with four brightly colored diffusers which allow you to create your own look. So pretty!
The Standard partnered with KAWS to release a limited edition set of three lightbulbs, featuring KAWS’ signature XX mark as the bulb’s filament in red, purple and green. 1,000 sets were released yesterday, and rumor has it that they are sold out already, although they still seem to be available on The Standard’s website.
Jean brought over a set to our place yesterday, so I got to play with them, and they are very cool – check out her photos of the unboxing on Notcot.
Philips makes this thing called LivingColors LED Lamp. A swipe of the colorwheel remote sets the dimming and changes the LEDs to 16 million different colors. It’s a cool way to change the atmosphere in your room to something new. I think the mini version might go well in a kid’s room.
You can buy one through Amazon.
Art Deco inspired geometric lights from Lee Broom. I like the white version best – the geometric forms are so sharp that the white provides a nice, more subtle version.
