Nice and simple the Easy table lamp by Giorgio Bonaguro wants to go to the basics of a lamp (from this comes the name), made up of only two parts: an arm with the light source and a base for it.
These elements are combined together simply fitting one into the other: the arm stands being inserted into the hole created in the base, making it easy to clean, and to store in a small packaging.
The lamp is made respecting an eco-friendly approach, the materials used are: wood for the arm; a composite material made with resin and marble powder (all waste materials from tha marble production can be transformed into it) for the base; the light source is made with LED lights with to possibles intensities of light, if you need a charmy light or a light to read.
Also the Easy table lamp is part of a system made also by a floor lamp and a stool-chair.
This system is made to go to the basics of a table lamp, a floor lamp and a stool. They have only two parts: an arm that can be the part of the light source, or the back of the chair, and a base for it.
These elements are combined together simply fitting one into the other: the arm stands being inserted into the hole created in the base, making it easy to clean, to assemble and disassemble.
They are made with eco-friendly materials, like the table lamp: wood for the arm; a composite material for the base; the light source is made with LED lights. (via)

Gable by Swedish designer Lukas Dahlen is a light fixture playing with the illusion of the softness of the glass. The glass is blown into a mould that leaves marks for the cable creating the visual impression that the cable is forcing the glass to swell around it. The marks are also keeping the cable in place so that the glass bubble doesn’t fall out. The lamp cap is held in place and hidden by the cork. Gable was recently introduced at the Salone Satellite 2012.

The modern and architectural Petra lamp by Studio Klass which was recently unveiled during Milan design week is made entirely from limestone. Just another example of perfect marriage between art with function.
Petra is a table lamp inspired by the famous monument in Jordan, entirely dug and carved into the rock; the leccese stone, a material with great tradition in the architectural world, becomes the protagonist of a sculptural but also functional object, which enhances the properties and the different opportunity of industrial manufacturing. The lamp is composed of two parts, a main body with the light source and an upper body which shields light by directing on both sides of the lamp: the two parts are entirely made from a single block of stone, avoiding any type of waste .

The acclaimed Japanese fashion designer and recent Design Museum’s Design of the Year 2012 awards winner Issey Miyake has applied his trademark, ingenious 132 5 pleating technique to this new series of delicate textile lamps manufactured by the Italian brand Artemide. Called ‘IN-EI’ – Japanese for ‘shadow, shadiness, nuance’ .
‘The IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE lighting collection was co-developed and manufactured by Artemide. The project revolves around a fabric derived from entirely recycled materials, diffusing light in extremely interesting ways; it is a re-treated fibre made using PET bottles. The bottles are processed using an innovative technology that reduces both energy consumption and CO2 emissions up to 40% when compared to the production of new materials. Issey Miyake’s artistic vision, applied to the new 3D mathematical process, combines the Japanese tradition of light with Miyake’s unique ability to translate tradition into modernity.’ (via)

I like bed side table lamp that you can hang on the wall. This lamp Duii mini is a collaboration of Italian clothing brand Diesel and lighting company Foscarini. Inspired by both: its namesake Disney character and a form of ‘the headlight of a classic car’, ‘Duii mini’ is available in two colors; bright yellow or dark grey and the design was presented earlier last month at the Temporary Museum For New Design in Superstudio Piu.
From the designer site: “The instant appeal aroused by Duii has now been transferred into a mini version, designed to be used on the bedside table but also on the wall; it is also flexible due to the free cable and easy to transport. The pressed glass and metal diffuser stimulates fantasy and lends itself to different interpretations. In fact, as well as the headlights of a classic car, it also looks like a worker’s helmet, with a dive into the industrial world, or a shaved head with a single central crest, like a Mohican, the historical symbol of Diesel in its punk and rebel meaning”.

What a great idea, the newly designed custom piece of Garden Lighting by Iris Kadouri Rizenbah collaborated with Amir Gallery can be extanable and manoeuvred according to a client’s specifications.
A celebration of nature and geometry create this extravagant yet simple design. Watching the moon as it lights in its full over the Guatemalan Volcanoes was the inspiration for this piece. The brightness and the symmetry of the moon lead to creation of Luna, our first ever outdoor lighting piece.

The Artic pendant light by Italian designer Giorgio Cattelan for Cattelan Italia resembles a frosted icy surface textured by linear details like ski tracks in snow. It actually does feel cold don’t you think?

Designer group Form Us With Love exhibited new work, including their Form Pendants for Design House Stockholm, during Stockholm Furniture Fair February 7-10. The exhibition “Form Us With Friends” was held at The Swedish Museum of Architecture at Skeppsholmen in Stockholm.
The idea behind these lamps is that, by arranging them as you wish, you can have your own creative input into their design. I would love to see them above a dining table or a kitchen countertop.
