Description from the designer:

After having spent 20 years flying at 1000 km/h 10 km high above the ground, liners at the end of their life-cycle are left rusting at the far end of airport runways. These marvels of engineering with their ultra functional curves resulting from uncompromising technical research, are diverted from their original function in order to be integrated in our daily lives, thus offering them a second life.

The F-Light project is a diversion of the inner walls and windows of an Airbus 300. Its curves, windows and silvery isolation recycle the vocabulary of aeronautics to transform it into an unusual and functional light structure.

These walls are fitted together to create a « luminous ceiling » forming a shell in levitation. This dome delineates the space and offers a special intimacy beneath it. The system can be adjusted and offers unlimited variations : the panels can be put together in a row to suit the desired dimension.

The windows lighting offers circles of light which stand out against the panels and diffuse the light on the whole surface. A second indirect lighting set on the structure is reflected by the original isolating silvery material and enhances the feeling of levitation of F-Light.

Description form Byrne:

Offering a very flexible light pool, Levity is the only task light of its kind that retracts into the work surface. Byrne’s new hybrid of task light and power/data center was designed to be flexible and adaptable in order to fit many different work environments; private offices, benching, conference rooms or tabling. Designed by award winning industrial designer Peter Stathis to offer unlimited flexibility while having little impact on the work surface. The capabilities of Levity are there when you need them.. and are completely hidden when you don’t.

Description from POTT:

There is a new light. No dazzles, No marks. Not even corpuscles or lumens. It is a warm and porous light, coming from the hand made pottery piece skin.

Sponge consists on a clay sphere where the light slips through, thus becomes more than a lamp, as an unusual clay piece with an unique design that achieves a very particular look along its uneven surface.

Description from the designer:

The Skog series consists of several lights in different sizes, shapes and colours, which can be used in combination with each other or as stand alone pieces. They are all made in mouth blown crystal with a base in oak made by using the technique of wood turning. The design is inspired by the large forests surrounding Magnor Glassverk. Skog is the Norwegian word for forest. Simply place a few of the lights together on the floor or on a table in order to create your own little forest.

Description from the designer:

The design is inspired by tall wet grass, where the water droplets amplify sunlight and the grass stems bend downward from the weight of the moisture.  The stems of FRESH are bendable in all directions to direct prismatic light as a group or individually.  The lamp is composed of a rubber coated metal base, neoprene coated solid aluminum arms, and a dimmable LED light source with an acrylic magnifying lens.  The power voltage converter necessary for operating the low energy light source is placed in the base of the lamp for additional counterbalance.  FRESH provides a splash of color and a whisper of Spring to a home or office desk.

Tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE is proud to present Uros, a lighting sculpture installation from a recent series of works by Peruvian artist Grimanesa Amorós. Uros will be unveiled on Thursday, December 15 and running through January 14th, 2012.

When Amorós was a child living on the coast of Peru, she always loved the beauty of the ocean; everything from the tides to the colors, to the bubbles and the foam.

Off the coast of Puno, Peru are the Uros Islands. They are floating islets made of totora reeds grown in Lake Titicaca. The pre-Incan Uros, who live on these forty-two self-fashioned floating islands, build everything out of this material -from houses to boats to watch towers. From these two ideas, Amorós created Uros to reflect the natural elegance of sea foam and totora reeds. The sculpture will seemingly arise from the ground as if it were one with the earth.

Description from Doolight:

The ‘Drop Light’ is a brand new concept which brings us total freedom to create the interior mood via our lighting. The ‘Drop Light’ is cordless, heatless and limitless. It consists of rechargeable lights, or ‘drops’, which can be utilized as individual lamps; therefore, you can locate them anywhere in your home, adjust their intensity and create limitless moods. It works in just the same way as ordinary lighting when the drops are on the leaf base. However, thanks to the highly efficient rechargeable battery inside the drops, the drops hanging from the leaf base charge irrespective of whether or not the light is in use, so you can separate them from the base and use them as portable lamps at any time.

The ‘Drop Light-mini’, which uses only a single ‘drop’, is an alternative for smaller and more intimate settings. This lovely little lamp can be located in doorways or on tables to enrich and enliven your home life.

Description from the designers:

A collection of unique, simple and timeless lights that are based on an idea of ‘invisible’ volume with a floating reflector.  There and not there, seen and unseen, creating an ambient and artistic object.

The biggest piece in the collection is production pushed to the limit; these are the maximum possible dimensions of handmade blown glass.

This series comprises a tabletop model and two floor models.

Available in three sizes and different glass colours and reflector finishing.

Description from the designer:

1 x 1 is composed of:  a wood stick (made from factory waste) that is weighted at one end, a bendable aluminum rod with a neoprene cover, and an inset low voltage LED lighting strip.  The colored neoprene base comes in the pre-bent ‘support’ ribbon shape, and the purchaser is free to bend the base into their own configurations to personalize the design.  1×1 gives the consumer the opportunity to be co-creator.

One by one, we can change the world.

Description from the designer:

Hand-turned, thin-walled marble pendant lights with roughly finished interior, to add texture and describe the story of stone production.

Quarry utilises the marble’s translucent properties to diffuse the light and reveal its veining. The traditional material is offset by the use of an LED, which allows the large hand-turned internal cavity to remain open and uncluttered. The interior surface is reminiscent of the first cut by renaissance sculptors to rough out a form.

AKFD manage the factories the lamps are produced in, ensuring fair working terms, and actively pushes for safer working conditions.

Description from the designer:

The Ruray lamp is an LED Desklight named after a legendary wave ‘Tonn Ruraigh’, heard off the County Down coast in Ireland hundreds of years ago.

The name lends itself well to the sweeping wave shape of the main body of this newly launched RURAY lamp, which is handformed from one piece of composite aluminum.

This is truly a mixture of fine craft, high-tech materials, and low energy lighting. The LED strip provides superbright, but even light and a 30000 hour lamp light.

Lighthouse Lamp’ reflects the philosophy, that objects have an independent validity of their own and can therefore exist autonomously regardless of their surrounding environment while at the same time they have the ability to transform and re-establish the space.

Like a lighthouse, the lamp is intended to define its own environment through its functionality and presence in space; it is designed to develop a sense of orientation through radiation of light and energy, and influence in a positive way those around it.

The vertical use of the light which defines its form and design, provides a 360º diffusion of light in space while it is placed on the top of a tripod. In this way it offers a monumental character to the lamp seeking to attract life close to it.

“Lighthouse lamp” is made of soft maple wood, borosilicate glass (known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (~3 × 10?6 /°C at 20°C), which making it resistant to thermal stress and gives to it properties of high heat diffusion, more than any other common glass) and a 60cm customized led square rod from warm white 24v led strips and a dimmer.

It is produced on a 12 pieces limited edition series in collaboration with Paris based Tools Gallerie (www.toolsgalerie.com), which is the exclusive distributor in France.

Description from David Trubridge:

There is a Maori creation myth in which the gods gave to humans three baskets containing the knowledge they needed to live on Earth. They hold the knowledge of the natural world Kete Arounui (bamboo basket), spiritual world Kete Tuaatea (polycarbonate basket) and our rational world Kete Tuauri (aluminium basket). The knowledge needs to be in balance for us to live harmoniously on Earth. The light source is an energy efficient and long lasting LED spot light.
