Hindsight is 20/20 and mine reflects on how much I wish I had focused during high school woodshop. But thankfully somewhere along the way, designers like Alex Earl did, and continued to make everything but ordinary designs. His studio designs everything except run-of-the-mill lighting and furniture pieces for international architects, interior designers, and private clients.

The fascination of this flower lies in its hues of colour and the regular geometry of its petals, almost as if nature acted as a designer. The acrylic Skitsch Dahlia lamp is based on the flower in terms of image and the regular sequence of its elements, which are the result of an almost mathematical design.

Made from heat-molded acrylic with a white lacquered base; includes white nylon screws to preserve the pure continuity of the white surface. For best affect cluster sconces. Available through Lumens.com.

Ah, I remember first discovering this light fixture back in design school, while in my 3-D rendering class to be exact. I saw it, and was so excited to sketch it into my lounge scene. Then I entered my class that week, pinned up my pride and joy, and was frustrated when my professor and students assumed that I had just forgotten to draw a light source within the fixture. Not true I told them, that is the entire vision of the piece! Designed by Italian architect and designer Massimo Iosa Ghini for Muran Due, Aria is a new lamp with an invisible light source in which the light only appears through a series of reflections. With a bubble-like aesthetic, the minimalist approach would suit a variety of environments.

Yet again, Milan Design Week was the place to be this 2010, as Italian-Singaporean studio Lanzavecchia + Wai presented a collection of lights for the transparency exhibition. Breaking out of the stereotypical mold of how and what an everyday light should look like, this series made of fabric stretched over steel wire frames was a great first impression from the design duo.

Sebastian Jansson has always been attracted to the idea of tweaking the everyday. Minor nuances in the folds and bends of something as simple as single sheet of paper or a paper bag intrigue him, and so he has used the objects of his fascination to inspire his design.
