It only takes a glance to see where the Lightbone floor lamp got its monicker โ 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 FรRG & BLANCHE for Oblure, Lightbone was originally exhibited during Milan Design Week 2017 as part of the โArmour Mon Amourโ exhibition. At that point of the conceptual phase, the floor lamp was textile and measured up to three meters tall! In the following years itโs continued to evolve into the product you see here.
โWe are really happy that we were able to develop this version of the Lightbone together with Oblure,โ said the designers, Fredrik Fรคrg and Emma Marga Blanche. โThis time in solid Oak and all made in Sweden.โ
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. Itโs also available in custom colors on request.

If there's one rule of computing every system administrator preaches, it's to always back up important data. Unfortunately, even among sysadmins, this rule is often preached more than it is practicedโbackups tend to be slow, cumbersome affairs that are ignored for years until they're (desperately) needed, by which time it's often too late to get them right.
Fortunately, backups don't need to be tediousโand there are plenty of relatively low-cost, consumer-friendly cloud services that make protecting your data easy. The five services we discuss in this articleโCarbonite, Arq, iDrive, Spideroak One, and Backblazeโare cloud-based and inexpensive, and they operate seamlessly in the background.
For a backup service to work, it needs to be easy to install and use. Beyond ease of use, our preferred solution needs to be affordable and have a simple billing model. It also needs to operate reliably in the background, offer easy recovery, and provide archive depthโmeaning you'll have backups to previous versions of your files in addition to the current saved copy.
