I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
I have a soft spot for lamps, but less patience for the way we buy them. Pick a shape, pick a spot, and hope both still make sense after the next move or furniture shuffle. If they don’t, the lamp goes into a closet and we start shopping again. Joanne Odisho’s Mod-u offers another option:…
Most lighting has a dirty secret: it only works half the day. Flip the switch and a pendant or sconce can look spectacular, all warm glow and dramatic shadow. Flip it off, and you’re left staring at what is often just a glorified fixture, a thing bolted to a ceiling that has nothing to say…
Most lamps ask you to commit. You pick a shade, a finish, a mood, and that’s what you’re stuck with until the bulb burns out or you get sick of it and drag the whole thing to a donation bin. For anyone who likes to rearrange a room the way some people rearrange their playlists,…
Oftentimes, the way light falls in a room dictates how productive you are or how well you can finish your study, work, or task. Sometimes, it also affects your rest and relaxation time. Not everyone has the privilege of having natural light, so they have to rely on different lighting fixtures to help them out….
Most lighting collections come with a concept attached, some blurb about inspiration and intention that sounds compelling on paper but doesn’t survive contact with an actual room. Aura, the latest collection from French design studio Maison Cédrat, is the exception. It’s quietly confident in a way that doesn’t need to announce itself, and that alone…
Most table lamps are designed to give you light. The Rift Series, a small-batch collection by New York-based architect Yongwon Kwon, is designed to make you think about where the light goes and where it doesn’t. The concept is deceptively simple. Each lamp in the collection starts as a recognizable geometric form: a cylinder, a…
Most lamps exist to disappear. You buy them, you place them, you forget about them. They live as background objects, chosen for ambiance or practicality, rarely for the kind of staying power that makes you stop and actually look. Table Lamp Z by Buenos Aires-based Cobre Estudio is not that lamp. Lead designers Malena Vivanco…
If you’ve never thought about bacteria as a design material before, Cenit might be the thing that changes that for you. The latest lighting collection from the collaboration between biotechnology company Polybion and Mexico-based design studio Natural Urbano is doing something genuinely different from what most lighting brands are doing right now, and it’s worth…
Most lamps don’t ask questions. They turn on, throw light at you, and call it a day. You adjust the brightness, maybe swap out a bulb with a warmer hue if you’re feeling particularly intentional about your space, and that’s the extent of the conversation. For decades, that’s been enough. But Korean brand BAENUE, the…
Most lamps ask very little of you. They sit in corners, cast light, get switched off. Electric Rocks, a new collectible luminaire by British designer Mark Mitchell for Italian marble company Serafini, refuses to be ignored. It is two blocks of marble split open by a bolt of lightning, and the lightning is still there,…
