When I first saw it on Daily Tonic it remained me a ballet dancer, this Kartell poetic lamp seems to elude the laws of gravity: The lamp shade floats inside the transparent frame and seems to materialise the most intangible thing: light.
Light-Air’s rectangular frame is formed of two pieces of laser-welded polycarbonate containing a conical parabola inside , which is diffusing the light rays at the same time.
The lamp with LED technology comes in two versions, transparent or mirrored.

Inspired by the breathtaking movement of Flamenco dancer’s ruffled skirt twirling around in the air, the Flamenca is an ambient light which captures the playfulness of this true essence.
With a gentle touch on the metallic-like plate, the Flamenca echoes you with the “dancing mode” which creates a soft flowing effect. Pressing and holding on the plate, you may pause at any illumination you want and hold to turn off. The design is an exciting combination of bicolor acrylics and curvy shape that achieves dreamy and bewitching lighting effect. Designed for three fabulous colors, Flamenca is suitable for decorating in multiple lifestyle scenes, including the dinning room, bedroom or any other preferable personal space.

Chic and modern the London table lamp by British designer Charlie Bowles. Joined Original BTC, the lighting company founded by his father, Peter Bowles. The London Table Lamp (2010) is Charlie’s first solo lighting design, and it’s clear that this young designer is in keeping with the family’s tradition “to design and produce lights that you are instantly at home with, that will fit easily and comfortably for many years to come.
Available in yellow, black or grey. Matching the shade color is a braided cotton-covered cord that is woven through the curved chrome arm for a neatly tailored finish. Every lamp by Original BTC has this braided cord, which was designed by Peter Bowles, who snipped the cord off the family iron when it gave him an idea for something better than an ordinary plastic cord. Available through DWR.

What an amazing chandelier, the ’38′ series is a new chandelier concept by Omer Arbel for Bocci. The lighting object is composed of globes of blown glass where by air is pushed in and out of the shapes which are intermittently heated and cooled. White cavities are then introduced into the spheres haphazardly,
causing an intentional intersection and collision of forms. Some of these have a depth which has the capacity to contain earth for small plants, while others are used to house lighting elements. each larger orb can host two or three lanterns, along with one or two planters.(via)
Bocci will exhibit the chandelier at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan next week.

It is amazing how many possibilities this sleek new pendant light designed by Ross Gardam can offer.
Touch is a multifunctional lighting product, which adapts to a variety of uses and situations. Touch comes in pendent, chandelier and table versions with more variations to come.
Touch was born from an aspiration to work with new processes and to collaborate with a glass blowing artisan. The outcome is a pendant offering diverse flexibility in both function and materiality. Touch is available in an anodised aluminium and a glass finish with an optional shade, which slides over the glass version to provide a more directional light. Various chandelier options and configurations are possible across the material range. The cord in the table version of Touch slides through the pipe stand allowing the user to adjust the light into a number of configurations.

I love the look of these simple pendant designs from Koskela. They would look awesome in a group above a dining table or a kitchen island. Just enough to add some punch of bright color.
