I like the idea of being able to use this as storage for your phone or glasses so they’re right where you put them when you wake up.

“The NOD Light is a unique and functional bedside table light or wall mounted light. The design incorporates storage for the reader’s current book, as well as mobile phone, glasses, iPod, or other small item. Designed for the bedside but useful in a variety of places, the design includes a passage through the back to accommodate the recharger cord for a mobile phone or other device. 30W (equivalent to 100W) bulb included. 6.5 ft. white cord.”

Look! It’s the repurposing of a the candleholder shape into a flashlight. This is pretty cool.

“This flashlight can be perfectly concealed on your bookcase or mantle top. It uses bright LED bulbs and is powered by 3 AA batteries (not included).”

Designed by David Weeks.

With their reflective enamel coating, these lamps would be the jewels of a room setting.

“Capturing inspiration from nature’s funkiest shape, these porcelain mushroom lamps are lively and light. Their deep color and reflective surface comes from a baked enamel paint.”

So freaking cool. I would be hesitant to actually use any of the matches since it seems as more of a sculptural type of thing, but that’s just me.

“To use just break a match off the block and scratch it along the block to light.”

A superb choice for your lighting needs, this pendant has presence with its orderly walnut veneer rings.

“The Meridian light is a simple expression of form and movement, like the paths of electrons around a nucleus, planets around the sun, or like the symmetry that the tropics, meridians and poles impose on the unruly shapes of the continents and countries of the globe.”

I know these aren’t new, but when I saw them again yesterday the table lamp struck me as rather beautiful.

“Made completely out of ceramic, it creates that traditional rustic look but with a definite modern edge.”

I don’t know anyone who would spend $800 on a set of candles, but these certainly aren’t ordinary. I suppose if someone just absolutely loved them beyond belief the price wouldn’t matter so much.

Some refreshing color options are now available on Pablo Tube Top Lamps.

“A minimalist statement in form and proportion. Tube Top combines a
transparent formed acrylic base to support its elegant mesh fabric
shade in tension, steering away from conventional modes of
construction. Its lightweight shade appears to float freely, gently
tethered by its fabric cord.”

The veneer used for the lampshade is quite lovely- that paired with the oblong shape makes for an altogether interesting light source.

“Hand made, its elegant and compact design is equipped with T-5 technology to ensure a minimum of energy consumption. In this way the ‘CLUB’ family achieves a duality between the warmth of ambient lighting and the illuminating power of fluorescent lights.”

Finishes available are white ash, cherry, red, green and grey tulip wood.

Shade: 15.7l x 2.8h, Total Height: 13.8h

This pendant light would look pretty stunning in the right space. I can see it over a large scale dining table with high ceilings.

Quite similar to the
Icarus Light, the Daedalus utilizes the same overlapping feather shapes yet provides soft lighting for tabletops.

“Activate or dim this dramatic sculptural light with a gentle touch to the chrome base. Inspired by the Greek mythological inventor, Daedalus, the shade is made of a white mylar polyester with a base of satin-plated steel. Requires one 60-watt bulb (not included). Simple assembly required.”
