Bocci By Omer Arbel
Omer Arbel is a young designer who created a cast glass pendant lamp design called Bocci. Since then, a whole company has formed around the product to manufacture it. The No.14 pendant series are a family of low voltage lighting products, which are articulated seamed cast glass spheres with frosted cylindrical void into which a halogen light bulb is inserted. These pendants are designed to be clustered in groups – the effect being of many tiny candles encased in floating spheres of water.

The Groovetube
If there’s nothing interesting to watch on television, you can turn it into an amazing disco light show. The Groovetube is simply a translucent plastic box that suction cups to the screen of your television. It has a grid of dividers inside it that diffuse the colors from your T.V. producing an amazing colorful abstraction of anything you watch. It’s probably the best thing to happen to television since the remote.
Lumen Tree by Adam Frank
The Lumen Tree by Adam Frank is an oil lamp which projects the shadow of a metal tree on the wall. As the flame flickers, the shadow moves around organically. The tree is made of stainless steel and polyethylene. It’ s a bit like having a virtual Christmas tree in your room. It’s ok for us as long as the X-mas gifts are for real.

Solar Eclipse by Mathmos Design Studio
Solar Eclipse is the latest creation from Mathmos Design. The changing colors of a sunset are reflected around a silvered glass sphere. The light effect also engages the viewer by coming in and out of view as you move around the lamp. Focusing hidden LEDs into the focal point of the globe creates this unique effect.
Octo By Seppo Koho
Finnish designers always surprise me with their creativity. This beautiful lamp designed by Seppo Koho is not made of metal, glass or any translucid material. The Octo is manufactured of laminated birch and the rings which hold the shade together are made of aeroplane plywood. It’s a very interesting way of working with wood.
