Burgundy – A New .PSLAB Beiruit Lighting Design Project

My favorite Lebanese lighting design firm, .PSLAB out of Beirut, has just finished another interesting project - a wine bar/restaurant called Burgundy. I just heard from my pal Ramsi at the firm this morning, and I am excited to share the project images!From the .PSLAB press release:A lighting project for a wine bar/restaurant having a substructure of wooden arched beams cutting through a wire mesh covering the ceiling. The setting of the space underneath the substructure is functionally divided into two sections: a bar area and a dining area. Highlighting the dual function, the lighting objects are set on two parallel ... Read More»

SevenUp – Tim Baute’s Chandelier-Esque Fixture

September 2nd, 2009 by Jim
Posted in Designers, Fixtures, Interior Design and Lighting, Lighting Design

Tim Baute's "SevenUp" fixture is a modern fixture with the form and structure of a grand chandelier. The beauty and function of his fixture is quite striking, as the structure leaves nothing to the imagination. Yatzer wrote an article about this fixture, and the text that they posted is great. Yatzer, I hope it's okay that I reposted this paragraph: Tim Baute of INTERROR.BE is a Belgian designer and creator of the chandelier “SevenUp.” Chandeliers have always been very romantic design pieces in every space…but according to Baute they’ve also been extremely massive! I guess no one can actually disagree! With ... Read More»

Paperclip Lamp – An Icon That Microsoft Tried to Kill

Ha, I kid. We Windows users loooove that freaking little paperclip, don't we...David Wykes and Benoît Colette have produced the Paperclip Lamp - a design that takes the ol' humble paperclip and turns it into something we don't rush to click off with our mouse whenever we open Microsoft products. The Paperclip Lamp is LED sourced, and works on the concept that people like me pick up paperclips and bent the bejeebus out of them without thinking.Well, that might be stretching the truth a bit - about the concept part. It's totally true about every time I pick up a ... Read More»

Diego Chilò's very large illuminated statue, the Granduca, was unveiled for the italian glass and lighting manufacturer Venini at EuroLuce 2009. It can be up to nine meters tall, and is covered with little opalescent glass plates. I am dying to know A) how many lamps are in the Granduca, and B) how on EARTH you change them when they go out!Thanks, Contemporist!

Sputnik, Dude. Except Not In Space, In Your Living Room.

Well, at least in the prototype/concept phase right now - Shane Crozier's Sputnik lamp design is an LED fixture-slash-art piece-slash storage container. It looks like it stands about six feet tall. Where the heck am I going to put that thing? According to Shane's page on the Sputnik fixture, the four LED antennae do fold in a bit, so you could stick it in a corner if you're like us, in a one-bedroom apartment. Check out some pictures:Thanks, Crunchgear!

Torn Lighting

October 8th, 2008 by Jim
Posted in Architectural Lighting, Home Lighting, Interior Design and Lighting, LEDs

One of the writers for the Yanko Design blog, Billy May, created a series of sort-of wall-integrated LED lighting fixtures - referred to as "torn lighting," they blur the edge between structure and fixture. I love the description on the site: Anyone who has spent a significant period of time either living in a small windowless apartment or tripping through the galaxy on a mind bender may have at one point felt the urge to tear a hole in the wall to let some light in.Torn Lighting

Posted in Fixtures, Home Lighting, Lighting Art and Installations

My wife pointed me to a post by Not Martha about the latest fixture from Adam Frank Incorporated - the "Reveal" fixture.Essentially, it's a projector, casting a multi-focus image onto whatever surface you desire. The fixture boasts steel templates, and small waves in the projected image creates a feeling of a light breeze moving through the tree scene.The "first edition" of Adam Frank's fixture is limited to 1000 units - at $380.00 a pop. It looks like a pretty interesting fixture, undoubtedly, but thank God I'm a lighting designer.Adam Frank also uses light as his medium as an artist - ... Read More»
