Designed by Aqua Creations [8], each 96 Molecules [9] lamp is crafted by folding a single sheet of paper without any other manipulations. The process emphasizes craftsmanship and creates a unique product that is not mass-produced – it takes a single person a full day to fold two pieces!
Ismael Quintero’s [10] gorgeous Odyssey lamps by iQEnvironments [11] are made from reycycled beer bottles and modeled after NYC fire hydrants.
Pacific Northwest-based Perhacs Studio [12] unveiled a striking series of flat pack cardboard pendant lamps at the Model Citizens exhibition [13]. The modular lamps are assembled from laser-cut cardboard shapes that come in a variety of forms ranging from simple soft geometries to complex branch-like designs.
Aqua Creation’s [14] mesmerizing Gail Collection [15]is a series of beautiful suspended mobiles made using hand-dyed and treated crushed silk. The delicate material is drawn over black metal frames and illuminated from within with an energy-efficient CFL bulb.
Frances Ranno [16]‘s funny and fun “Sneaks” sneaker lamp [17] made their debut at the Pratt Student Show during NY Design Week’s [7]. Meshing a symbol of urban culture with energy efficient lighting [18], the fixture incorporates a compact fluorescent bulb for long lasting life.
The Skip Light by Takeshi Miyakawa [19] is an otherworldly illuminative block that features LED bulbs. If you’re looking for a way to modernize your space, these are probably you best bet.
Ross Menuez’s [20] delicate felt Icosa Lamp was inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s legendary Geodesic domes [21]. Muenuez’s take transforms the soft felt into a stable, crystalline form.
A group of Philadelphia University [22] industrial design students worked with Plyboo [23] to showcase innovative new applications for the sustainable material. Shown here are two beautiful pendant lamps by Michael C. Shannon (left) and Jordan Haynes (right).
Designer Peter Stathis [24] and lighting company JOBY [25] collaborated on this super bright LED Trapeze task lamp.
An Inhabitat favorite, we got a first hand glimpse of Hulger’s stunning sculptural lightbulb the Plumen [26]. The Plumen consumes up to 80% less electricity that incandescent bulbs and lasts eight times as long.
Using the traditional Japanese washi [27] paper for the shade, DCS Corp [28] designed the cute cloud fixtures as enjoyable alternatives to boring table lamps.
These stunning Coral Reef lamps from QisDesign [29] light up with a just a quick flick of the wrist.The lamps feature three overlapping disc-shaped LED lights [18] that can be individually “switched on” when users pivot them on their hinges.
Pierre Ospina’s [30] forest of luminous “trees” [31]feature several innovative re-purposed materials, as well as low energy LED bulbs. The series of lamps created a much needed micro-sanctuary within the ICFF convention center.
