Domino Lamps -- $ 145.00| Buy it here | [via Design Milk]

Brooklyn-based home furnishings company Grenkol creates an interesting palette of textures with their Domino Lamp series, consisting of cast oriented strand board concrete coupled with candlelight-brightness low wattage incandescent light bulbs. I really love the industrial toggle switch as a finishing touch. Available in 1, 2, and 4 socket configurations and also offered as a set.

30 Pencil Icosahedron -- $ 79.72| Buy it here | [via Design Spotter]

Designer Michiel Cornelissen creates a perfect blend of technology and readymade craft with his 30 Pencil Icosahedron kit. The connecting joints are 3d printed, and coupled with 30 pencils (provided by you) creates a cool icosahedron shape. I would prefer to skip the lamp shade function and just have them around to play with as a sculptural toy.

Leti Table Lamp -- $ 369.00| Buy it here

First of all, I don’t know how this has missed our attention. I’m 99% positive that one of us has posted it before and somehow it was deleted when we did our last site remodel. Second, how the hell did I miss that it’s also a bookend? It’s a great looking lamp, but that little detail makes it excellent.

Design by Matteo Ragni.
Large, 16.5″ H x 12.13″ W x 8.75″ D, $539.00
Small, 12.5″ H x 9″ W x 6″ D, $369.00

Sabine Iron Glass Desk Lamp -- $ 268.00| Buy it here

Simple, but the gold finish dresses it up quite a bit, no? It’s nice that it’s just the base and the glass- no shade to take up space. There’s also a floor lamp version but it’s price is a bit steeper at $880.

Dimensions: H:26” x W:12” x D:11.5”

or, as a ‘weekly special’: $230 here. (not sure how long that’ll last)

Mater Black Dome and Shade Pendal Lamp -- $ 700.00| Buy it here

I think my heart stopped at the sight of the Black Dome Lamp. What is it about black matte lamps? Maybe it’s that the appearance is so contrary to their function? Whatever the reason, these two lights are lovely and minimalist (and expensive).

The dome lamp is an iconic representation of “what is light.” Light emanates evenly in a 360 degree pattern from its source (such as in the case with the sun), so therefore the most honest approach toward the design of a lamp was a spherical solution. The design is essentially a “globe” form, “hollowed out” to allow the light to distribute. Such a mathematical solution enables the design to be timeless and familiar, however completely new in approach, as it is more of an engineering solution than a fashion-based one.

Shade Pendel Lamp (left), $1,000.00
Designed by Signe Bindslev Henriksen & Peter Bundgaard Rützou, (9.8h x 23.6w x 23.6d)

Black Dome Lamp (right), $700.00
