I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
When a fashion brand turns its most iconic textile technology into a lampshade, you pay attention. That’s the short version of what A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE and Swiss design studio atelier oï managed to do with the O Series, the latest chapter in their ongoing TYPE-XIII collaboration. Portable, pleated, and quietly radical, these lamps feel…
If you’ve ever wished your lamp could double as a sculpture, or that a piece of Venetian craft could actually travel with you from room to room rather than stay anchored to the nearest outlet, Flowers in Wonderland might just ruin every other lamp you’ve ever owned. Not dramatically. Just quietly, the way really good…
The first time you look at Gustav Friebel’s Hands On Light, you might do a double-take. Is it a lamp? A science experiment? An art installation that somehow found its way onto a side table? The answer, satisfyingly, is all three, and that is exactly the point. Hands On Light is Friebel’s contribution to 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,…
Most lamps exist to solve a problem: you need light, so you buy a lamp. THE MIROR Collection, by design studio MIRORlab, starts from a completely different premise. Rather than asking how to illuminate a room, it asks what light could be if it were designed to make you feel the passage of time. The…
Every lamp in your home is tethered to a wall. Most of us have made peace with that, tucking cords under rugs, running them behind furniture, pretending they aren’t there. We’ve accepted the cord as the price of light. But Gantri and Ammunition just launched something that makes you realize how much quiet compromise we’ve…
Most lamps disappear into a room. They’re functional, fine, forgettable. The new collection from Taiwan-Lantern, shown this week at ICFF during NYCxDESIGN in New York, does the opposite. These are lamps you stop in front of. Lamps you study. Objects that reward attention the longer you give them. The Amsterdam-based studio, founded by Pei-Ching Hsiao…
Most lamps just sit there. They do their job, emit their light, and fade into the background of a room. Mirei Monticelli’s lamps are the kind you keep looking at. The Milan-based Filipina designer has built her practice around a single material: banaca, a woven textile made from the fibers of the banana-abaca plant, harvested…
Entering a space and feeling an instant sense of calm and energy shows the effect of biophilic design. In contemporary built environments, the lack of connection to natural elements can reduce comfort, focus, and overall well-being. Light becomes the critical medium for restoring this connection. Biophilic lighting replicates the spectrum, dynamics, and intensity of daylight…
The first time I came across the Oberhauser Balloon, I genuinely thought I was looking at a sea creature. That rough, porous sphere covered in glowing craters looks less like a lamp and more like a bioluminescent organism that washed in from a very stylish ocean floor. It’s the kind of design that stops you…
