Baccarat has introduced a new lighting collection called Jallum, designed by Yann Kersalé . Jallum is a modular and rechargeable cylinder made of an upper cut crystal section with a satin finish on the top, and a lower section of anodized aluminum set in a base with a soft touch finish.

Does your lighting have you in between a rock and a hard place? The Rock Lamp from Diesel with Foscarini is a contemporary lamp that will brighten your spirits, and your decor.
Available in a pendant or floor lamp, the Rock has unique facets on its outer shell as well as the bottom of the lamp, where the light shines through. Available in black or white lacquered polycarbonate, the Rock lamp reflects a strong light, despite its interesting nooks and crannies.
The Rock Lamp is part of the Successful Living Collection, a collaboration between Diesel (the clothing company!) and Foscarini, an Italian lighting company. The goal of the Successful Living Collection is to capture the Diesel lifestyle: “Ironic, unconventional, fun, fiery and creative.”

The W101 Lamp: a paper desk light. Like a paper lantern, but better.
Designed by Swedish architects Claesson Koivisto Rune for the Swedish lighting company Wästberg, the W101 Lamp is innovative and contemporary. Made of renewable materials, the W101 Lamp is created using DuraPulp, a combination of wood pulp and starch. Previously, the architects designed a chair out of DuraPulp but wanted to challenge themselves by combining light, electricity and paper all in one with the W101 Lamp.
In a press release, Magnus Wästberg, founder and CEO of Wästberg says: “Paper has been used throughout history for making lamp shades. Now we are using paper for the actual structure of the fixture adding advanced LED technology.”
What do you think about the W101 Lamp?

Mystically light up your outdoors with the Halley, an arched LED lighting system designed by Jordi Vilardell & Meritxell Vidal for Vibia.
The Halley has several different options including: floor-to-floor, floor-to-wall and floor-to-clamp options. You can mount it to the wall, clamp it to a table or just arch it from the floor. The bases can also be combined for another interesting arrangement.
For convenient storage, each piece can easily be taken apart. Although it is waterproof, the Halley also comes with its own carrying case.
To learn more about The Halley, check it out at Vibia’s website.

Talk about cool lighting! The VorteXX from Zumbotel has got to be the coolest lighting I’ve seen in a while. Today’s innovative lighting is due largely in part to the small and versatile nature of LED lighting, and the VorteXX is just another great example.
VorteXX is the work of Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher for the Zumbotel Masterpiece Collection. Each piece is made from reinforced fiberglass and translucent acrylic, and houses 190 LEDs. Special technology allows for the color mixing of red, blue, and green with a separate touch panel. More from Zumbotel here.

Korean designer Joongho Choi has designed a reinterpretation of the traditional Korean chong-sa-chorong lighting. From the designer: This lighting device could be hanged onto fixed metal pole, or held by hand, but most importantly when it was hanged onto a long fixed pole called “deung rong deh,” it would vividly show the difference between the wall and the illumination itself, building up tensions in the atmosphere. That tension could be maximized by just hanging on to the supporting pole, and I have brought along the advantageous idea from the “chong-sa-chorong,” which is being able to move from place to another in various directions. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook
