It's always intriguing to see which design studio is putting out what, and which products actually make it through the initial 'wow' factor and into the actual 'i want that and am willing to pay for it' consumer realm. So, with that said, Puur Design Studio has a small but interesting array of furniture and home accessories. I especially love the 'Whoa' light with the base that plugs directly into the outlet and allows you to bend around any which way you want.

Cuurve (Chair): Molded Plastic, € 750
Earthquake Clock: Aluminum, € 99
Magic (Chair(s)): Wood, € 1750
Whoa (light): Enforced bendable metal, € 69

We've posted the Lightweight and 'Heavy Guy' Chandelier (which is also currently one of our banner images) by Mischa Vos, and surprisingly somehow missed this little wall light. It's incredibly minimal (and affordable too).

"Subtle and sophisticated, the weight of a single, naked bulb is held suspended in air by a thin, steel rod. Simply adjust the length of the cord to create a beautifully curved line. A crisp, clean look in a captivating, contemporary form."

Materials: Steel rod, Wire, 40W bulb

Cord length: 19.75"

An elegant solution to overhead lighting, this wall mounted lamp is counterbalanced so that you may fully adjust it to your needs.

"Paolo Rizzatto's 1973 design offers the utility of a reading light and space-saving functionality of a wall sconce in one elegant design. Fully adjustable, Model 265 allows you to direct your flow of light from counterbalanced steel stem, which attaches to the wall by a steel bracket. Designed by Paolo Rizzatto for Flos®."

I love how simple this lamp is. Hinge, arm, bulb and that's it. No fuss.

"The Vintage Swing Arm lamp is a simple light fixture that swings from a stainless steel wall mounted hinge. It can be operated from a footswitch and includes mounting hardware and a vintage inspired filament lightbulb."

50"W x 10"H

This feather like paper pendant and sconce look like they would add a good amount of soft light. I think it would look stellar to do three pendants in row above a dining table.

"Filo paper and a brushed nickel shade. This wispy lighting piece is more like illuminated art and will give any room a new approach to lighting."

16"h x 7"w pendant.
Includes 50 watt MR16 halogen bulb.

Living in an vast expanse of concrete? Don't have enough windows or trees? This lamp creates the effect of moving branches on a tree outside a window. "As air currents pass through the projector, the branches of the projected tree appear to sway in a gentle, morning breeze. An ideal solution for small, urban spaces, and rooms that could use a "view"."

Designed by Jean Prouvé in 1950, the Prouvé Potence lamp provides overhead lighting on a pivoting swivel which is mounted to the wall. Dimmer on cord. 80" d | 43" h | 29.75" base height 60 Watt bulb required.
