Lights To Inspire

This is just a quick post about a few lamps/lights I came across that I think are pretty cool and intriguing. Looking at the images below you will see they make use of everyday objects and recycle them to their optimum potential. These show that being 'Green' and Recycling can be fun, cool, modern and exciting.

Flower 001

When I came across this piece of lighting and was totally intrigued by it. Not only did I find it intriguing and interesting, I thought that the white design to this light was beautiful and simplistic.

I'm keen on anything environmental and to do with nature so discovering that this light revolves around these concepts had me even more excited. As the sun's rhythms influence how a flower opens and closes, the Flower 001 lamp moves its own petals according to the heat generated by the light it produces. The layers are spaced in such a way that the light is evenly distributed and so this movement can be achieved. This amazing design has been created by Christian Kocx.

SOMA by Ayala Serfaty

This is an installation representing the study of light. The installation has been created by thin, glass filaments being woven together to produce small structures, that are then sprayed with a polymer to create a skin-like layer. Therefore, forming a cocoon like lamp. It took around 6 years to create SOMA ( Greek word meaning Body) and it's supposed to produce the effect of glowing leaves of snow. She has used modern materials to expose it's delicacy while communicating her idea of nature's beautiful yet complex structures.
