Obelia pendant light

Obelia Pendant Lights...are a collection of local artisan made spun aluminium lights with angled natural solid timber rims as their feature. With the additional bent timber arc and timber dowel, Obelia will hang cozily in all environments. Little Obelia minus the timber arc is a minimal version of Obelia.The feature of Obelia is a solid timber rim, which begins by skillfully hand joining two pieces of certified solid timber. It is then CNC cut before being hand finished and polished. It angles from one side to the other giving the light a subtle difference in appearance depending on the angle it is viewed. This rim sits on another fine rim, which has been carefully formed when the dome has been hand spun. The bent timber arc holding the spu... More

Product • By Studio DriftFLYLIGHT

FLYLIGHT

FLYLIGHT is an interactive light installation composed of a minimum of 180 glass tubes.The glass tubes that light up and respond to the viewer are inspired by the behavior of a flock of birds and the fascinating patterns they seem to make randomly in the air. Actually this behaviour is not as accidental as it looks; birds have to keep a safe distance from each other. What will happen if an intruder interrupts their flight? This is what the viewer will experience when approaching the FLYLIGHT. We converted this bird-behaviour into a digital DNA and translated it into understandable visualisations with light. Each light is controlled individually, but the behavior is not programmed to a repeated pattern.Time after time the birds have to choos... More

Product • By PottFlame

Flame

There is a new light. No dazzles. No marks. Not even corpuscles or lumens. It is a warm and porous light, coming from the hand made pottery piece skin. Sponge consists on a clay sphere where the light slips through, thus becomes more than a lamp, as an unusual clay piece with an unique design that achieves a very particular look along its uneven surface.

Product • By BoopsCirkellamp

Cirkellamp

Original design from 1968, circle and square but in perfect proportion. A classic design but now produced with energy saving technology. No two-way switch but a stepless dim button by a pulse dimmer. Aldo van den Nieuwelaar (The Netherlands 1944) is honoured because the master of the geometric minimalism would have been 65 years old this year. This is the reason why the Cirkellamp has been taken into production again but of course with modern technology. This design icon has been purchased by the MoMa New York and other leading museums.

Product • By daiZumtobel Natural Sky

Zumtobel Natural Sky

Daylight is essential to all living organisms, affecting the production of hormones and hence regulating biological rhythms. Light in its natural setting is not homogenous, and is instead characterized by a constant change of light and shadow. Natural Sky is a direct rebuke to homogenous, "flat" illumination, aiming instead to create a constantly changing, "active" light system that alludes to the natural sky. Regulated by a control system within the lamp, Natural Sky's light source gently alternates through various lighting sequences to simulate organic light patterns. Double layers of sound absorbing textile filter the light to give it a soft, luminous quality. The textile not only allows the lighting system to be used as acoustic ele... More
