Great designs!!!! Are they for sale or still prototypes??? If they are being sold, it would be helpful to have a link to the point of sell. Tks

Lets get the cost down on those LEDS!!
It appears that there is a “get the old ones off the shelves” attitude with regard to this money saving technology.
Why are these bulbs still in the $20-$30 dollar range. This discourages sales and keeps them out of the hands of those who could use the break on their power bill.

Use the example of the new auto plant in michigan that uses solar energy for manufacturing power. This plant also uses plenty of robotics (solar powered robots? who whudda thunk it). This is a tremendous way to compete with the Chinese labor cost and export our products.

When you said circumference, I think you meant diameter. 1/2 the circumference (plus a few inches) of a round table would have the chandelier overpowering the table. Essentially you are recommending a chandelier of slightly more than half the radius, maybe 55% of the table width.

Yves Béhar’s designs always manages to impress me & this leaf lamp is no exception, love the clean lines. (Although the traffic cone light is pretty awesome too!)

The Lendino Table lamp is some funky stuff- I really am finding out how much I dislike overhead lighting.

So many great options! I wouldn’t mind having that traffic cone one…

I love that all of my apartment’s overhead lights are on dimmer switches, and the light in my vestibule has a motion sensor.

Recycled Coffee Stirrer Lamp by Studio Verissimo is pretty incredible. That must have been grueling work!

I really love the etched yellow cylinder lights… they remind me of my favorite sculpture by Eva Hesse.
