At Wanted Design in New York, installed in huge warehouse space on Eleventh Avenue, design students from the Rochester Institute of Technology stand displayed a clever lamp using LEDs, and recycled glass tubing. This in combination with Corning and the Vignelli Design Center at RIT. Also at Wanted, Todd Bracher and 3M offered a clever wall system of LEDs and reflectors with a Sixties, pop feel.

LEDs were also a theme at Javits Center: new models at Humanscale and by Peter Stathis were on view, as well as more from Konzept, the pioneers of affordable practical LED lamps. Jake Dyson’s CSYS LED tasklight has a subtle touch control for brightness and angle.
