10 Unique Lamps /Lighting
Lamps (since time immemorial) have played a huge and significant role in interior design by providing functional and aesthetic lighting solutions.
Lamps have the ability to set an atmosphere, highlight design elements and create focal points in a room. Because lights come in different sizes, shapes and customizations; they can be customized to match diverse design theses, enhance a room’s aesthetics and also affect the functionality of a space.
This article will highlight 10 unique designs of lamps and lighting.
1. Scroll Scones by Olivia Barry/By Hand
Olivia Barry is known to create clean-lined ceramic lighting that draws from her training in industrial design and ceramics. Olivia is an Industrial Designer and lifelong Ceramist; she is known for her dinnerware collections for Royal Stafford, Crate and Barrel & Bloomingdales.
Olivia’s Scroll Scones are designed in a way that the body of the lampshades the glare from the bulb, creating a luminaire, both bright and dimmable.
2. Phase 01 Chandelier by Anony
This lighting design by Anony is inspired by the exquisite balancing act found in hanging kinetic mobiles. This lighting design is an interpretation of a circle in 3 forms; a sphere, a melted semi-circle and a disc.
It’s made of steel, aluminium and plexiglass and finishes in brushed brass, black nickel and antique bronze.
3. Peaks Down by Michael Anastassiades
Peaks (lighting) is a family of pendants, that’s composed of a string of elongated cones in different configurations. It can be displayed as a single, double or triple arrangement; either pointing up or down depending on your preferred direction of light.
When the light is put off, the peak form appears very schematic — like it was borrowed from a geometric still life.
4. Ascoli Collection by Astro Lighting
The Ascoli collection combines minimal, clean lines along the basic rules of geometry to create a sense of priority, with its functions guiding the design.
5. Crystal Grid by Preciosa Lighting
The Crystal Grid is a compelling installation that combines the clarity of geometry with the sparkle of hand-blown crystal. It’s built using hand-blown crystal tubes with delicate bubbles inside.
Its composition is made using perpendicular lines, which creates a feeling of strength and clarity.
