Round and brilliant like the ball that will drop tomorrow night for New Years Eve, the Calmares I and Calmares II are unique modern light fixtures for your home.

Shown above, the Calmares I is a limited edition fixture of 15 pieces. The Calmares II, shown below, is of a larger limited edition run with 125 pieces. Both are designed by Strala, a design company owned by Tom Strala, an architect “who does not build houses, but tables, chairs and lighting.”

Both the Calmares I and the Calmares II are made from fluorescent tubes that are connected to form a spherical shape. The Calmares I is made of 73 connected tubes, while the Calmares II is made from 13. Each light is energy-efficient, as each consumes only 24 watts of energy.

Would you rather be celebrating New Years around the Calmares lamps than the ball in Times Square? To learn more about Calmares I and Calmares II, take a look at Strala’s website.

Since establishing his own practice, Studio Alhadeff in 1990, Alhadeff has designed residences, multi-unit housing, and commercial and retail projects around the world, from the Turkish coast to Lake Como, from Manhattan to Moscow. Even the firm’s client list — large multinational firms, jet-setting families — is quintessentially cosmopolitan. Being a global nomad has had a formative effect on Alhadeff’s character, and on the character of his architecture: as the architect himself puts it, “If you’ve lived your life moving from place to place, you either make a point of standing out, or you learn how to blend in
