prop table lamp 2008

The Prop has been designed to a strict brief of efficiency both in use of material as well as energy, whilst still retaining a high aesthetic appeal. Completely manufactured in the UK for this first edition, the Prop is perfectly timed as consumers balance cost, both financially and environmentally with the desire for beauty.

The Prop is a black acrylic table lamp consisting of three laser-cut moulded pieces that radiate from a central triangular form. The manufacturing process used is the reverse to traditional acrylic moulding in that the acrylic is laser cut to size first and then moulded to ensure an absolute minimum of wastage from a single sheet, 3% in fact. The low energy light source reflects off the gloss finish of the lamp, playing with perception and the conventions of a typical lampshade.

MultiPot Table Lamp and Charger

MultiPot Table Lamp and Charger by Dante Donegani and Giovanni Lauda, 2005

"MultiPot belongs to a new generation of lighting objects and is the first of Rotaliana products to combine lighting with other functions. This hybrid, multifunctional lamp combines an LED ambient night light with multiple sockets, along with a space to keep cables neatly stored. MultiPot provides new comfort levels, both in the home and the the office by catering for both old and new requirements: our habit of emptying keys and other personal items, from pockets into containers, with new requirements to manage our increased use of rechargeable mulitmedia equipment, home computers and the transformation of televisions into home theatres. With its familar looks, lighting function and translucent finish (to filter the light while masking the electrical cables), the MultiPot is a picture of elegant functionality."--http://www.ylighting.com

So, have one on your office desk, yet?
If not, here's where you can get it.

Hurdle Lighting

Hurdle Lighting by Lee Suk Woo and Byeon Dong Jin

"Simple and functional, the Hurdle is would be completely at home among modern furniture (or an Ikea showroom), and it's so thin that the clutter factor is virtually nil. Just a concept/prototype right now, the Hurdle has a few hurdles of its own to jump before it can come to market, but we'll be first in line at Brookstone when it does." -- Peter Pachal

We would love to get one of these if it was at Ikea prices!

Clamp Lamp (1 cool lighting product / day)

From Dseign Spotter:

"Clamp lamp explores the concept of "truth" in design where the main
objective is to create an object which primarily utilizes the functionality of a
solid unfinished hardwood rather than a system of foreign components.
The
lamp itself consists of a solid maple base and free moving cantilevered arm, LED
strip, wire and transformer. The entire system is compression fit with no glue
or screws holding the lamp together.

Designer: Dana Cannam (Netherlands)
Manufacturer: Dana Cannam (Netherlands)
Inspired By: Old fashioned
wooden clamps
Material: maple
Colours: unfinished
Dimension: 70 cm X
65 cm
Price: 239 euro "

Very nicely designed, slick and simple.
