The Lightbone Floor Lamp Looks to a Japanese Bamboo Forest

It only takes a glance to see where the Lightbone floor lamp got its monicker – the connection point between the spherical glass globes and the wooden sections. Inspired by a bamboo forest on a trip to Japan and designed by FÄRG & BLANCHE for Oblure, Lightbone was originally exhibited during Milan Design Week 2017 as part of the “Armour Mon Amour” exhibition. At that point of the conceptual phase, the floor lamp was textile and measured up to three meters tall! In the following years it’s continued to evolve into the product you see here.

“We are really happy that we were able to develop this version of the Lightbone together with Oblure,” said the designers, Fredrik Färg and Emma Marga Blanche. “This time in solid Oak and all made in Sweden.”

The floor lamp can easily be used next to a sofa, but also looks amazing in a group or two or three. Multiples begin to resemble a small forest or act to divide spaces in hospitality projects.

Lighbone is available in natural Oak with a Black stain, Smoked Oak, and Cobalt Blue. It’s also available in custom colors on request.

Create an Array of Light + Atmosphere With the Kori Collection

The new Kori lighting collection, designed by Stockholm-based TAF Studio, is a welcome contemporary addition to Finnish design brand Artek. Its essence captures everyday beauty in a five product series that creates a diverse array of light and atmospheres. Three pendant light models, a table light, and a floor light feature modular design and pared-back aesthetics displaying the best of form and function. At the core of the design is a “basket” (kori in Finnish), a unique element that’s key to blending direct and indirect light – like sunlight filtered through trees.

Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom of TAF Studio shared, “With Kori, we wanted to achieve an atmospheric and glare-free light with different models adjusted to different spaces and contexts. The diffuser around the light source became very central, and through lots of experiments with shades and reflecting parts the different characters in the family appeared.”

Kori’s compact floor light provides great reading light in larger spaces, while the table light works well for bedside tables, sideboards, or shelves. The pendant light is arguably the most versatile, available in three models. When paired with a shade it provides a direct downlight and diffused uplight, ideal for smaller spaces. Add the Dune shade and illuminate the surface beneath while spreading glare-free light across a wide area. Or, choose the inverted Disc shade that reflects a soft cone of diffused light downward, good for smaller tables and sideboards.

The entirety of the energy efficient Kori collection occurs within a 200km radius in Italy, and the die-cast “light basket” is made from 100% recycled aluminum. A universal E27 socket ensures longevity, that bulbs are easy to replace, and the ability to choose from a full range of bulbs.

“Color-wise, we were inspired by the way light hits the matte white texture of an egg, and the thinness of an eggshell,” said TAF Studio. “Kori comes in extra matte white and a color that reminds us of egg yolk.” The Kori collection comes in a matte white powder coating, and the floor and table lamps are also available in a matte orange.

DMTV Milkshake: Ian Yang on Making Gorgeous Lighting at a Reasonable Price

A truly beautiful piece of lighting can transform a room – and often costs more than we might think at first (well-lit) glance. Ian Yang, CEO and founder of Gantri, understands that push (toward great lighting) and pull (away from $1800 lamps). But Yang has long investigated the space between impulses: His education took him to the London School of Economics, but also revered art school Central Saint Martins. As a kid in China, he toured factories with his parents, who has a global logistics firm – and when he moved to San Francisco, he joined TechShop, a maker space fueled by a community fluent in the next-wave manufacturing processes like 3D printing. The result of all those influences is Gantri: “At Gantri, we’re rethinking how lighting is designed, made, and sold using 3D printing,” he says, in this week’s Milkshake. “We’re supporting independent designers and studios – and making great lighting designs more accessible and more sustainable.”

Gantri partners with designers around the world – like Oakland’s Prowl Studio, Felix Pöttinger in Munich, Heitor Lobo Campos in Brasilia, and former Milkshake star Bradley L. Bowers in New Orleans – to create their work at a reasonable cost. Here, Ian shows off the Kobble task light by none other than Karim Rashid: “It’s typical Karim – really blobby, really beautiful – and the entire product is actually made from two different types of plant-based materials that we call Gantri, plant polymers,” Ian says. “They’re both derived from sugarcane, which is a really amazing material.” Each part is 3D printed, then QC’d multiple times before it’s hand assembled. (We loved this collection – which includes task lights, wall lights, and floor lights – so much that we covered it when it debuted last year, saying that “while each piece of the lighting series can easily work alone, the group together has the ability to make a space feel extra balanced.”)

Also in this Milkshake: Ian shares how digital-centric manufacturing processes alter a product’s look and feel – including layer lines and subtle textures – and tees up the brand’s latest Independent Creative Release, which included the Hula Collection by Pöttinger, the Gallery Collection by Andrew Ferrier, the Noah Collection by Filippo Mambretti, and more. “It’s a way for us to really support independent desires and studios who wouldn’t otherwise be able to launch products to market with a lot of visibility,” Ian says. “So we thought by creating this platform – where we launch a bunch of designs from a whole collection of designers – we can really maximize their voice and amplify the effect of the product launch. Last year, we launched more than 20 designs as part of this initiative, and this year we’ll continue to do that with even more designers.” To see more of what Gantri has in store, tune in!

Diana Ostrom, who has written for Wallpaper, Interior Design, ID, The Wall Street Journal, and other outlets, is also the author of Faraway Places, a newsletter about travel.

Milkshake, DMTV (Design Milk TV)’s first regular series, shakes up the traditional interview format by asking designers, creatives, educators and industry professionals to select interview questions at random from their favorite bowl or vessel. During their candid discussions, you’ll not only gain a peek into their personal homeware collections, but also valuable insights into their work, life and passions.

This Viral, Renter-Friendly Wall Light Installs in Mere Seconds

When it comes to renter-friendly solutions for decorating a space, sometimes we have to choose the road that’s less aesthetically pleasing and more budget-minded to keep our landlords happy. With the Poplight Wall Light though, it doesn’t feel like we’re settling for something we don’t really want. It actually feels we found exactly what we want in a wall light. The lighting fixture is currently going viral on social media and we can see why. It’s accessible, modern, easy to install, and doesn’t leave any marks behind, much to the joy of landlords everywhere.

Available in Vermillion Red, Sage Green, and Matte Black, the Poplight Wall Light comes with a back plate that conceals two command tabs, so you won’t see the annoying ends of the strips once the light has been installed. A built-in level helps you get the perfect placement and eliminates the need for extra tools. Once the back plate has adhered to the wall, the Poplight pops on and locks into place with a slight swivel. Because it’s rechargeable via USB-C, you can remove the battery and charge it where you do have an outlet or leave it plugged it if you prefer. A single battery charge is estimated to last about 2-3 days if left on continuously.

Poplight is available to purchase via Kickstarter and has already reached its original $9,100 goal (currently at $109,495 at the timing of writing!). To learn more, visit poplightoforthepeople.com.

The Avro Pendant Lamp Powers up Your Electronics

It’s a common circumstance in which many of us have found ourselves from time to time. It’s that annoying moment when our phone pings us that it’s on 10% battery or our laptop screen went black because we kept ignoring the alerts – only for us to look around and discover that there are no sockets available nearby. It’s in this moment that the Avro Pendant Lamp really shines. Designed by Studio Natural for Martinelli Luce, the luminaire has a hidden feature: the lower part of its shade conceals a socket, allowing you to power your devices right at the table.

Available in four different colors (orange, light blue, white, and black), the Avro turns any dining table into a workspace. No longer would you need to find a vacant outlet or ensure your cords are long enough to reach the wall. By plugging in a multi-socket, you can power up a whole team’s worth of devices.

Cobra Studios’ Decor Thrives on Surprise + Charisma

Architect Kenny Decommer and scenographic designer Hugues Delaunay have otherwise been known as Cobra Studios since 2020. The Brussels-based duo work together to bring creative, sculptural furniture pieces and interiors that overflow with color, material, form, and texture to life. The studio recently launched a series of chairs, tables, lamps, sofas, and curtains. Initially designed for a specific space in the Art Deco SHELL building near Brussels Central Station, the collection can be combined with other pieces previously released by Cobra Studios for an inimitable aesthetic.

Cobra Studios’ manufacturing process for the series includes reusing and recycling materials and objects – including leftover resin stock – to bring these new pieces into the world. The original elements of the Art Deco SHELL building include travertine, marble, and concrete and have been combined with latex, clay, stainless steel, foam, resin, velvet, and aluminum. The end result is a surprising, charismatic, and chic visual experience that retains an air of fun.

Gantri’s 3D-Printed Lights by Chris Granneberg Feature a Simple Twist

Graphic designer Paula Scher once attributed the importance of play in opening the doorways to creativity. “I play when I design.” Unencumbered by prescriptive expectations, possibilities, often simple and easily overlooked become obvious. It’s a sentiment similarly drummed up while reviewing industrial designer Chris Granneberg’s collection of lighting designed for Gantri, a joyfully fun collection of colorful cubes offering a literal twist in form in service of function.

The easiest way to add joy to someone’s life is through color.

The childlike spirit effused by Granneberg’s design is rare in the task light category, where the proposition of serious work for serious people too often results in seriously staid designs. The simple, compact shapes of the Analog collection were inspired by the designer’s daughter’s LEGO collection, and whose propensity to anthropomorphize the IKEA FREKVENS inspired the “authentically playful” trio of lights. The result lands somewhere in-between the nexus of plaything, the ethos of Eames designs, and a Lightolier Lytegem.

“I stacked 10cm cubes into a directional task light, wall light, and floor light and rendered them in happy colors,” explains Granneberg, “I imagine the collection would be 3D printed.”

Occasionally wishes are granted. In this case Granneberg’s concept was brought to 3D-printed life by sustainable lighting brand Gantri in the form of a task light, floor light, and wall light, each design revolving around a 360-degrees rotating light cube feature capturing the playful spirit of the designer’s daughter, and now available for all of us to illuminate our inner child… even when attempting to complete the tasks of adulthood.

Take Control of the Mood With the Nivél Pendant

Pablo Designs is hoping to redefine pendant illumination with the Nivél Pendant. It’s formed from a simple, pure silhouette and brought to life with a spun-shade form and a flat panel LED light. The LED pivots on an axis to focus light downward or as a soft wall wash, giving you the control to set the mood for any space. While on, Nivél only uses 10.5W of power, making it 90% more efficient than comparable halogen light sources and 40% more efficient than CFLs.

The Nivél Pendant can be suspended on its own or grouped in a multi-light cluster. The group can then be powered by a single hardwired light, allowing the user to reposition the height, span, and direction of each individual pendant. Choose from two available sizes, 15”(38cm) and 22” (56cm), and six powder coated finishes: matte white, Terracotta, Forest Green, Slate Blue, Espresso, and textured black. You’ll then have the option of pairing Nivél with a graphite or white fabric cord and ceiling canopy for a truly personalized experience. Nivél is also available in a flush-mount version in white for both sizes.

The design is sustainable, using minimal materials and containing no hazardous materials. And it’s ready to stand the test of time, lasting for 50K hours or 25 years of daily use – whichever comes first.

5 New Colors + 1 Retro Pattern Refresh Panton’s Flowerpot Range

Arguably better than a fresh bouquet of flowers, the iconic Flowerpot range designed by Verner Panton is getting a spring refresh from Danish design house &Tradition with five, new, vibrant colors and a black & white pattern that has us feeling nostalgic for retro styles. The reissue of Panton’s hypnotic, wavy pattern is a particularly exciting one. According to family archives, it was first used in the 1970s and adds a bold, graphic element into interior spaces.

Monochromatic in color, the rest of the new Flowerpot arrivals add their own vibrancy, even when switched off. Those looking for that perfect poppy shade of red can lay down their search with the Vermillion Red color, which was first used in an invitation for Panton’s 60th birthday party in 1986. For something a bit moodier, Dark Plum is a never-before-used shade for the Flowerpot range that brings a chicness similar to black.

Perfect for spring, Tangy Pink delights like a full-bloomed tulip stem, adding a happy pop of color and energy to a space. In the cooler range of hues, Swim Blue is fresh and aquatic while Cobalt Blue is more subdued and sophisticated.

Muuto Collaborates With 3 Designers for Spring 2023

Muuto’s Scandinavian designs are recognized for their aesthetics, functionality, craftsmanship, and expression. Rooted in tradition, the brand also continues to expand their offerings with fresh ambition and perspectives as they push forward. Spring 2023 newcomers that are soon to be released include thoughtful product collaborations with Normal Studio, Sylvain Willenz, and Johan van Hengel. The Wrap Lounge Chair, Couple Coffee Table, and Ease Portable Lamp bring with them clean lines and small details that will long be appreciated.

“Designing the Wrap Lounge Chair, we had the image of a lounge chair with a soft blanket simply draped around its ample silhouette in mind, playing with models and prototypes to find a fluid way of incarnating this idea,” said Paris-based Normal Studio of the design. “We were driven by the idea of creating a really snug chair with an enveloping feel and generous proportions that don’t feel chunky. A highly comfortable lounge chair with lots of personality.”

With a duvet-like covering that wraps around the shell, there’s no other word that comes to mind aside from comfort. The loose-fitting upholstery required extensive research and development, taken on by both Muuto and Normal Studio to solve. A light steel frame takes away from this perceived bulk by adding support that’s visually light for a sculptural aesthetic that balances intention and happenstance. There are no rules on how to use the Wrap Lounge Chair, sit or lay on its generous shape however you wish to read, relax, and more.

Inspired by the traditional tile table, “The Couple Coffee Table was born out of my research into this traditional and essential piece of furniture,” said designer Sylvain Willenz. “I wanted to come up with a new yet subtle take on its materials and typology. I was inspired by the materiality of fired earth-like brick and terracotta, finding that a beautiful synergy occurs when it is combined with wood.”

Bringing together FSC-certified wood and tactile ceramic stone, a hard, dense clay that can be compared to Bone China. You have the option of two table top tiles: a plain surface and a sculptural wave. Choose one or the other, or mix them for a truly tactile piece. The Couple Coffee Table is available in three sizes, from a small one-tile to the large coffee table.

The Brussels-based furniture, lighting, and product designer went on to say, “Thanks to these materials, their finishes, and fine design details, Couple Coffee Table subtly merges a familiar piece of furniture with forward-thinking features.”

The Ease Portable Lamp, created in collaboration with Dutch designer Johan van Hengel, transforms the traditional table lamp into one that’s sized to go wherever you do. It has a small footprint, yet gives off a lot of light by using a high-quality, dimmable, no-glare illumination that features three levels.

“I wanted the Ease Portable Lamp to have a remarkable quality of light, striking a versatile balance between atmospheric and functional light – after all, that is the wonderful thing about a portable lamp – you can bring a distinct ambience to literally anywhere,” shared van Hengel. “I landed on the idea of the top and bottom gently touching, softly meeting each other… This feature allows a large surface to emit light, while the flared bottom firmly stabilizes it.” The lamp’s barely flared bottom makes the base easier to grab hold of, while adding even more character.

The Ease Portable Lamp can be used in many spaces, in many ways: the bedside, a reading nook, home office, on a restaurant table, in a co-working space, or within a library.

Your Personal Bellboy Is Ready To Be at Your Service

A friendly bellboy is always a welcomed sight to see at a new destination and the same goes for Fatboy’s new Bellboy table lamp, a cordless design with a quirky spring neck and a fun operating mechanism. To switch the Bellboy on, simply tap the touch button on his cap to turn on his warm LED light. For nights when you want to create a bit of an ambience, pressing the button a little longer will dim the light’s intensity. Another tap turns the light off, and the next time you need it on, Bellboy will remember your chosen light intensity.

While the battery is located in the cap, the lamp is charged via the base. Once that’s done (about three hours for a full charge), you can take the lamp anywhere indoors or outdoors to illuminate your space for about nine hours.

Bellboy is available in six different colors which you can preorder now for end of February shipping at fatboy.com.

Children’s Mental Health, Institutional Gaslighting, and Mother-Blame

There is a class action lawsuit against Iowa over failure to provide legally-required and medically necessary mental health services for Medicaid-eligible children.

The Unexpectedly Playful NomNom Light

“NomNom Light is about playful minimalism with unexpected logic. The
silhouette is simple, but it has an unexpected playfulness to it that keeps you looking,” said designer Odin Visser. Created for lifestyle brand Moooi, the contemporary, versatile suspension light adds to their overall collection.

Visser’s goal for the NomNom Light was to design something playful yet elegant, simple in functionality but visually intriguing. It doesn’t get more simplistic than a sphere and two straight lines, the only components of the light. The two lines gently squeeze the glass sphere, holding it in place and giving the illusion of chopsticks picking up a bite of food. The minimal design makes NomNom ideal for use in a corner or suspended above a side table – or opt to group several lights together for a more dramatic effect over a dining table or in the entryway.

NomNom is available in six colors: Nori, Wasabi, Ginger, Blossom, Indigo, and Ruby. Moooi’s Wireless Wall Switch – available in White and Anthracite – gives you full control over the light with a single touch and needs no electricity (excluding the 110V version). Its most interesting function is that it uses an energy harvesting technique, which means that it charges itself as you use it! A full dimming range provides bright light for tasks such as reading or cooking and low light when the mood calls.

Lee Broom Exhibits Within the “British Capsule” at Maison&Objet

This year, British designer Lee Broom had the honor of being invited by Maison&Objet to share his work in an exhibition that featured iconic pieces, fresh developments, and collaborations from some of Britain’s top designers. For the “British Capsule” Broom included his new Divine Inspiration collection of lighting, as well a selection of complementary furniture and decor.

“We are thrilled to be selected to join the British capsule at Maison&Objet. In the spirit of Maison’s theme ‘Take Care’, we are showing an edited selection of pieces that bring a sense of the comfort of the home combined with an element of spirituality and mysticism,” Broom declared.

Inspired by the light and shadows created by lancet windows found in church arches, the highlight of the exhibit is Broom’s four meter tall Hail light. The elongated aluminum elements and reeded glass lightbulbs are asymmetrically placed, while its impressive size adds to the drama.

Alongside Hail were the Vesper Duo lights. Dramatic in their own right, Vesper’s prolific design leans on the simple geometry of Brutalist sculpture and modernist cathedral lighting. (The shared inspiration between Hail and Vesper doesn’t go unnoticed.) Using extruded aluminum, the lighting’s rectangular cube-like shapes are joined together by illuminated spheres.

Broom’s portion of the exhibit resembles a dining room setup, using light greys and brushed silvers to create a modern calm. His round Musico Table and Musico Chairs make a statement with their hand-bent, twisted stainless-steel tubes. Two Fulcrum Candlesticks, made in Nero Marquina Marble, reside on each side of the booth. And reflecting it all back on the viewer is the Split Mirror hanging on the back wall. With a precisely cut vertical slice that’s shifted upward, it reveals an unexpected oak-trimmed view of the black frame.

Marcel Wanders’ Skynest Lighting Doesn’t Use a Single Bulb

When we think about a light fixture – whether it’s a wall sconce, floor lamp, or ceiling pendant – we often conjure up an image of a bulb and some sort of covering, like a lamp shade or glass orb. Marcel Wanders’ Skynest lighting for FLOS checks off none of these characteristics. Instead, the Dutch designer employs filaments of light to illuminate both the fixture and the space it is placed in. Twenty-four LED light sticks are woven like thread with 48 tubes of textile. Like a spirograph made three-dimensional, Skynest attracts your eyes with its geometric design and challenges the idea of the typical bulb lighting archetype. In other words, the basket-like “shade” is actually the light source. Available in four colorways (Almond, Blue Tormaline, Brick, and Anthracite) and various models (including Pendant, Ceiling, Wall, and Ceiling-to-Floor variants), Skynest creates an unforgettable moment in any space.

VARMBLIXT Provides the Biggest Effect With the Least Resources

“I wanted to take an unexpected approach to exploring the idea of how lighting functions within the home, and to inspire people to consider new shapes and elements which blend into and highlight different types of interior spaces in new, bold, and artistic ways,” says Rotterdam-based designer Sabine Marcelis. Her 20-piece VARMBLIXT collection is a collaboration with IKEA that includes sculptural lighting objects, serveware, rugs, and more.

Each piece of lighting is designed to interact with both direct and indirect light, and align with IKEA’s hopes of shifting the perception of it in the home. Rather than simply being functional, lighting can be emotional in that it can transform the look, feel, and atmosphere of our spaces.

The four lighting pieces in the collection will become a permanent part of IKEA’s offerings. They include the VARMBLIXT LED pendant lamp, which features curved pipes of frosted white glass, and the VARMBLIXT LED wall mirror, designed with a semi-transparent glass panel and light strip. Both are sculptural objects when turned off, and a display of light engineering when illuminated.

“At home, I have mainly indirect lights, as I love the soft effect they give. I also have a lot of art objects that double as lighting, something I love because it blurs the boundaries of function and art,” said Marcelis. “It’s really a lost opportunity if you don’t think about the appeal of a lighting element when it’s in its ‘OFF’ mode – because a lot of the time a light might not be turned on, but you still need to live with it and have it be part of the interior.”

We find it to be a true sign of a successful collaboration when the designer features the products in their own space. “I have a donut lamp in my son’s room, which he loves, and the curved line in my living room high up on one of the structural columns,” Marcelis shared with us. “I love how it highlights the connection with the ceiling. I’m planning to mount them on all the columns to really add to this architectural feature.”

A motif that can be seen throughout Marcelis’ work – the infinite doughnut – finds its place as the VARMBLIXT LED lamp that can be wall-mounted or displayed on a table. You’ll also find two serveware sizes in orange and green in the same shape, alongside a beautiful set of glassware.

Marcelis admitted that, “Just yesterday I brought home a set of the champagne glasses and made some dry-January mocktails in them. I have to say, I’m very proud of how the glassware turned out. It’s a product category I have not worked on before, and it’s so satisfying to drink from something I have designed myself and directly interact with it on such a close level.”

With a focus on warm colors, VARMBLIXT includes two rugs inspired by the setting sun. The larger of the pair, made from 100% hand-tufted wool, features a sunset-like color gradient that fades from deep orange to amber yellow. An overlapping style adds extra interest while creating the illusion of depth.

Marcelis told us that she’s really learned how to get the maximum amount of effect with the least amount of materials/resources used through VARMBLIXT – and that was her aim all along. “To not solely rely on the lusciousness of materiality, but to strip everything back to essentials and with a singular gesture make it gain its desirability. The pieces needed to have my signature, but also be anonymous enough to be able to be applied in many different types of homes. It taught me more than ever that less is more.”
