The Ghost Lamp by Studio Durbino Lomazzi
Italian designers Donato D’Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi have created the Ghost lamp for Bonaldo.
From Bonaldo:
The Ghost lamp has a white polyethylene stem which forms a single whole with the base, and a white polycarbonate diffuser. Thanks to the light source inside the stem and the diffuser, Ghost illuminates the surrounding environment and delicately spreads the light upwards. Its soft lines make Ghost a discrete presence that harmonises easily with any type of style.
Bonaldo will exhibit the Ghost lamp at the upcoming Now! Design à Vivre show in Paris.

The What Watt? Chandelier by Tim Fishlock
London based designer Tim Fishlock has created the What Watt? chandelier.
Tim says:
What Watt? is a memorial to and a celebration of the humble incandescent lightbulb. It’s a spherical chandelier, 1010mm in diameter made up of 1243 suspended bulbs of various shape and size, illuminated by a single low-energy light source. By 2011, all forms of incandescent light bulb will have been phased out in favour of greener alternatives. What Watt? marks the passing of a beautiful design that has remained relatively unchanged since its invention 130 years ago.
Designed and fabricated for a private commission. I will be producing an edition of ten.
You can watch a time-lapse video of the construction – here.

The Good King Henry Lamp by StrawberryKingdom
Polish designers Dorota Kulawik and Jan Modzelewski, are both recent graduates from the Industrial Design Faculty at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. The two young designers have now formed their own design studio called StrawberryKingdom, and have created the Good King Henry Lamp as one of their first designs.
The Good King Henry lamp is made out of oak and powder coated steel tubes. It is surmounted by a fabric shade. The authors were guided by the idea of a perfect workmanship. The simplicity of the structural elements stresses their functionality and the combination of the bright colours with the pale hue of the wood gives the object subtleness. The shade was placed on a movable arm, which enables the users to adapt the inclination of the lamp so it best fits their needs and the nature of the interior. The irregular arrangement of the slats gives the lamp three different faces – the shape of the object changes according to the perspective from which it is observed. It awakens curiosity and encourages user interaction.
