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.

LZF Spain challenged designers to use their proprietary Polywood Veneer to create these spectacular lights for the Light and Nature collection.

All lights are all available in a variety of wood veneers.

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.

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.

As a means of promoting the idea of recycling to the South African public, Heath Nash created the "Other People's Rubbish" pendant lighting collection. Utilizing galvanized steel wire and re-purposed post-consumer plastic waste products, each light fixture is an amalgamation of South African skill and modern design. In the creation of the flower light fixtures, colored plastic flowers are attached to handmade wire structures; while the bases of milk cartons and fabric softener bottle handles are used to create the more structured light fixtures.

J.T. Kalmar, an Austrian lighting designer, spent most of his career collaborating with architects of the Austrian Werkbund.

Simply elegant, these light fixtures evoke the essence and spirit of the Austrian Werkbund.

Pieke Bergmans is a young product designer from the Netherlands who alters existing production processes to create new forms and functions. This "controlled imperfect production" technique transforms ordinary mass produced objects into objects that are once again personal. Her fabulous Light Blubs series stays true to this modus operandi by exploring the new forms that are created when light bulbs unexpectedly lose control of their original form. Each unique lamp is handcrafted crystal and equipped with LED lamping.

Tramp Lamps is the creation of Kelly Kerrigan, an artist from Nashville, who repurposes vintage lingerie into luscious luminaries filled full of sensual curves. Much of her time is spent scouring second-hand shops looking for vintage corsets, bustiers, bras and pantaloons of a bygone era. From her studio, she transforms her second-hand finds into ladies of light by stiffening the garments and then attaching decorative ribbons, flowers and feathers. Each sultry lamp comes with a distinct name and personality all her own.
