Floto + Warner Beacon Lamps
(10 March 2009) - by Sarah Moroz Floto + Warner really know how to light up a room with their original creations. Their past project was both good-looking and sustainably made from recycled materials. Their current project involves a cheeky take on the natural world—by using fake bugs. Hoards of them crawl up the lamp bases designed by Kartell, Phillippe Starck, Martin Baas and others, swarming towards the bulbs....

The company, made up of longtime friends Miguel Sanches and Ramses Marcal, promote good humor through each of their products, all of which ride the conceptual line.

Anglepoise Play
(28 September 2007) - Among the newest, hottest creations in town at the London Design Festival this year, we happily noted that others were taking time to celebrate an old classic—albeit in new ways of course. Anglepoise, a lamp that's required little tweaking in the over 70 years it's been in production, is one of the brands that's found ways to playfully reinterpret their classic design as of...

LED Loom Lamp
(16 January 2007) - The first in a line of "organic technology" products, this LED Loom Lamp from Brooklyn based Lwindesign studio weaves reddish branches of Ash coppice around a ring of white LEDs. Casting shadows on surrounding walls and adding a touch of nature to interiors, the lamp uses a traditional weave.

Volivik Chandelier
(12 January 2007) - Made from Bic pens by Madrid-based design studio enPieza, the Volivik chandelier pays homage to "the movement of Charleston fringe and the rhythm of Baroque patterns...the shape of a bulb, [and] the Bic ballpoint pen as an 20th century design."

Strala Inch Lamp
(20 November 2006) - The Strala Inch Lamp is what Zürich-based designer T.W. Schmid calls "minimalistic ode to maximum." Stated plainly, it's a lamp with a twist. Partly inspired (ironically) by the Burmese practice of wearing neck rings to stretch the neck, it can be tilted and extended from 150 to 224 centimeters, making it a functional, spartan design that arrests a lot of attention for such a...

Jahan Khalili's X-Ray Lamps
(21 June 2006) - Jahan Khalili is a Texas-based cancer researcher who enjoys making things with scientific objects he salvages, and old x-rays are a favorite. Quickly becoming obsolete as digital x-rays replace them, x-ray films provide an increasingly exotic material to work with. Jahan's x-ray lamps offer a glimpse into an intimate yet abstract world. Have any of your own x-rays laying around the house? Send them...

Chrysalis Lamp
(08 May 2006) - During a recent trip to DC, I discovered this amazing, silk cocoon pendant lamp hanging in a restaurant (more on restaurant later) in the buzzy heart of developing "U" Street. From the Thai design firm Ango, it's made entirely of empty(?) cocoons woven together with wire threading and resembles a dense cluster of supernovas in The Milky Way. It is available as a pendant,...
