Pendant Lamps Inspired by the Old Industrial Lamps: Kaschkasch Cologne
The series of fixtures 'Industrial' was inspired by the old industrial lamps of XIX-XX centuries. The designers of the project - Florian Kallus and Sebastian Schneider from Kaschkasch Cologne - have chosen high quality natural materials for the products just as in the past centuries craftsmen did. Hand blown glass is used as a basic material for shade; oak wood is used for a cone holder. All items of the lamps are processed by sandblast machine. Suitable for almost any interior, different types of lamp of the series can be combined with each other.

Switch by William Lee
The latest work of designer William Lee was presented at NY Design Week. This is lamp, which has no on/off switch and power cord. The Switch is the embodiment of the minimalism in design. The exquisite style of the lamp gives the impression of a high-tech object. It is rechargeable and is made of an acrylic construction with 60 LEDs hidden underneath. It is in flat position when off, as if waiting for something. As if coming to life, it changes its orientation from flat position, when toggled on.

This totally new extraordinary design of pendant lights is created by young Japanese designer Yoshiyuki Hibino. The designer has presented his new projects at the Stockholm furniture fair.

The first consists of easy elastic shade that is rolled up in uncoated metal - a material that changes over time. In the second version the shade is formed by halved sheet of material fixed on both sides. Due to transparency of elastic material the lamp has a soft diffused light.

Lamps Shaped Dogs by Whatishisname
Modern art is interesting by its eccentricity, openness and even queerness to one’s taste. But this is the the main attraction of it. Each item of nowadays art has a sense, it can speak and it talks about everything that surrounds us. It explains talks, argues, cries, laughs and makes us share the same feelings, express the same emotions. The first emotion that awakens in us when we look at Whatshisname’s last work is laugh. This is a lamp in a shape of a black dog with the on/off switch that has very interesting shape, you can see it on the picture below. More precisely there are two similar lamps: ‘Good Boy’ and ‘Good Puppy’. The lamps were designed with the intention to make users uncomfortable while using them. Except the appearance the lamps certainly have an important functionality. The lighting they provide has a romantic and soft glow. Good Puppy is available in limited editions, so you can try to buy it. [caption id="attachment_22613" align="aligncenter" width="620"] good puppy lamps[/caption]
