We feel squeezed
Soft Light by Simon Frambach /
You lay down in bed to read for a few minutes. You need both a night light for reading and a pillow to life your head. In the creative mind of Simon Frambach, that combination is one. Simon created a inventive new way to create light and rest by combing polyurethane foam and a lightbulb with a protective cage. The soft white polyurethane foam turns the harsh bright light into a warm glow that you can stuff anywhere. You can tuck the light under your head and use if as a pillow. Jam the light in a small spot where it stays nestled in place providing you with a little extra light for reading or play. (via induldg.com)

‘Miss Maple’ designed by Elisa Strozyk and photographed by Sebastian Neeb /// Text from the designer’s website:
MISS MAPLE
pendant lamp, 85 x 85 x 35 cm
material: wooden textile, steel
The pendant lamp “Miss Maple” is showing the use of a familiar material in an unconventional way. We usually experience wood as a plain surface, but here it is broken down into a grid of triangles. This makes a flexible lampshade which can be transformed manually in three-dimensional ways.
While the lamp generates warm light at night the surface outside becomes more evident with daylight and turns the lamp into sculptural object.
We switch on
An incandescent lamp meets concrete / ‘The concrete that embroiders the cold gloomy city buildings has been transformed into a warm sensory item. Made from Asbestos-free certified cement, not only is it eco-friendly but nontoxic. The incandescent lamp has been tuned with LED light to enhance energy efficiency and increase its lifespan. From the series ‘Pure Mold’ designed by Better Mix Studio

Bad Boy
“Good Boy” lamp designed as part of the London’s the Art Below exhibition on London Underground stations. Available as limited edition / designed by ‘whatshisname’
The design intention was to create an object of every day use that would make the use uncomfortable with its every use. Consequently the switch for each lamp is indeed design as the doggies poo and must be pressed or stepped on for the light to turn on.
