Blown Fabric Light Installation by nendo

Blown-Fabric-Light-Fixture-Installation-by-nendo_001

Reminiscent of chochin paper lanterns, nendo created this blown fabric light installation for the Tokyo Fiber ’09 Senseware exhibition. Adopting the same technique that is used in glass blowing, these lights are blown from Smash - a long fiber non-woven polyester that is capable of being manipulated into different forms using a hot press form technology. Smash’s thermoplastic properties allow for the creation of seamless one-piece lanterns that are rip-proof and glow beautifully when illuminated from within.

As in glass blowing, the production of each piece can be interrupted at different intervals – creating completely unique ‘imperfect’ light objects that defy those found in standardized mass production.

LED bulbs in machined, aluminium sockets provide the light source and serve as an anchor to the hollow forms created by the hand blown Smash.

Colorful Spacewalker Lights by Constantin Wortmann

Color-Changing-Spacewalker-Lights-by-Constantin-Wortmann_001

Established in 1998 by Constantin Wortmann, Büro für Form is a German design studio with a special focus on industrial, interior and lighting design. Known for his whimsical take on lighting, Wortmann's Spacewalker light is fun and playful: a cosmonaut looking as if it just jumped out of its space-craft, weightless and exploring new territory all while providing an ambient glow. This light fixture was originally designed for large spaces but is perfect for landmark installations. The Spacewalker is available as a suspension light or floor lamp.

Industrial Iron Plumbing Pipe Lamps by DEMO / design clinic

Industrial-Iron-Plumbing-Pipe-Lamps-by-DEMO-design-clinic_001

Kozo lamps are the brainchild of DEMO / design clinic: a design co-op in Tel Aviv, Israel shared by seven designers. Kozo lamps are made out of galvanized iron plumbing pipes that are selected from different manufacturers around the globe; each bearing the trademarks of their origin. In keeping with the raw industrial aesthetic, the materials are left with a little rust at the joints and the markings left by hand tools used during the assembly process. Each lamp features an innovative on/off tap light switch that was developed in house.
