Big Bounce, “inspired by lighting techniques used on film sets” — we learn that reflective bounce can soften the hardness of high power LEDs. The lamp is made of FSC Certified White Oak, powdercoated laser cut steel. May be purchased through the designer.

a disco ball for a new generation.
Tom Dixon has an impressive portfolio of product design, but his Copper Shade suspension light is the simplest, the chicest and (according to me, anyway) the best. I’ve seen them clustered in groups but they really shine brightest on their own. Imagine this single reflective orb hanging over a dining room table. After finding out how its made, though, I don’t know what’s more fascinating, the production process or the end result. What looks like solid copper is actually a plastic dome coated with a film of “vacuum-metalized” copper only microns thick. The copper is converted into a vapor and then deposited on the inside of the plastic, making it lightweight and safe and easy to hang as well as an envy-inducing statement piece. available at Moss.($550)

less function, more playful.
Working in the same vein as the Stuhlhockerbank, Bina Baiterl’s Mutant Lamp Rugs are a playful take on design, even if they are slightly less functional. More art piece than actual rug or lamp, Baitlel’s lamp/rug composites are beautifully handcrafted with supple leather in the most gorgeous, yet subtle tones of grey and creme. The leather mat is designed to emulate the light spilling from the lamp, only represented in a tangible form. Though Baitel’s work as an architect and designer has more practical applications, Next Level Galerie in Paris specially commissioned this series from her, giving her the enviable freedom to work on a professional and personal level.

about perrin drumm
Normally I do whatEVER it takes to nix lamps of all kinds in favor of recessed or trac.
I-Lumex ultra-modern lamp comes with its own USB port. Made of soft, tactile silicone in red, lavender, graphite and white hues, these versatile, multifunctional and user-friendly lamps are fully flexible and adjustable, literally bending over backwards to meet your lighting needs. Love LED for it’s low-power consumption and high light output. Delivers 50,000 hours of illumination. Will take exception to this little cutie.
