UM Project's ^[6] awesome new range of lighting designs is a cool collection of retro, robot-inspired lamps. The Brooklyn-based studio showcased their diverse series of quirky lamp designs, dubbed Craft System, at last weekend's Wanted Design ^[7] show during NY Design Week ^[8].

From a stilt-standing table light to a minimalistic robotic shape, the lamps are all original and crafted using a small selection of simple bases topped with creative lamp fittings. The futuristic designs are the brainchild of UM Project ^[6] founder François Chambard. Chambard is committed to working with local and regional partners to keep the products based in New York City. With around 75% of the products manufactured in their Brooklyn shop, UM Project are maintaining a sense of local production with their cool lamp designs.
