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. By combining classical tradition with modern innovation these artists, craftsmen, architects and manufacturers were instrumental in establishing the Viennese style of "moderate modernity". In collaboration with Jonathan Browning, Kalmar Werkstätten now offers reproductions of J.T. Kalmar's original works. 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.

With the release of their Chandelier Collection, Energy Focus is about to change the perception of fiber optics as a medium and as a source of illumination. No longer relinquished to being just another form of indirect lighting, the actual fiber optic strands are ingeniously used in these chandeliers to create the both the light fixture and light source. Possessing an aesthetic that is both ethereal and delicately complex in nature, these fiber optic chandeliers cleverly add the perfect amount of sparkle to any space.

Verner Panton's Scandinavian contemporaries thought his light fixtures were too en vogue to possess a timeless quality because he made use of unconventional materials, shapes and colors. Ironically, today he is considered one of the most influential furniture and lighting designers of the twentieth century with his designs still gracing the covers of design magazines. Conveying an elegant spirit all their own, Verner Panton's unique light fixtures are perfectly scaled to complement almost any style and are available through Verpan.
