SHADE by Christopher Moulder

Very cool new lamp by Christopher Moulder. Only concern would be the heat created. Listen what his PR team has to say: "SHADE brings new life to an iconic form with a formal, tuxedo-like appearance with its terminations to the bulbs referencing bow ties and the stainless steel button head cap screws alluding to silver studs and cuff links.

SHADE is a low voltage fixture using its aircraft aluminum body to conduct electricity to 28, 12V/10W high efficiency, long life and high color rendering Xenon Festoon bulbs. Finished meticulously with catalyzed acrylic enamel, SHADE is available in three colors: torch red, white and silver metallic." Christopher Moulder (via)

Polygon Crash Lamp by Flip Sellin (Coordination)

 

 

Polygon Crash – Pendant Light - Flip Sellin/Coordination 

Polygon Crash is a handcrafted, prototype pendant light measuring approx. 110 x 80 x 60 cm. It is made of mild and stainless steel and consists of three layered polygon shades, each holding a micro-tubelight. The partially mirrored polygons are suspended by thin steel wire. The shade’s composition creates a central void which the tubelight pouches are orientated towards. Once lit, the Polygons appear to crash into each other, reconstructing shapes, reflecting and incorporating the surroundings as sliced images. The object merges with the space, creating an iconic appearance and starts a dynamic dialogue between space, object and observer.

Moodwall by Urban Alliance

Urban Alliance consists of Studio Klink, Illuminate, Matthias Oostrik and Cube.  They have joined to create the Moodwall, which is a subway installation in Amsterdam.  This is what Urban Alliance has to say:

"Media architecture collective Urban Alliance has recently finished the Moodwall: a 24 metre long interactive light installation in Amsterdam. The Moodwall is located in a pedestrian tunnel and interacts with people passing by, improving the atmosphere in the tunnel and making people feel happier and safer. The interactive urban wallpaper is made from 2500 LEDs behind a ribbed semi-transparent wall. The curves in the wall make it less vulnerable to graffiti and improve visibility.

The Moodwall is a pilot project for a 70 metre long media wall proposal by Urban Alliance (in collaboration with Daan Hartoog) which won a competition for ideas to improve the public space of the socially unsafe area of the Amsterdam Bijlmer.

The Moodwall was designed by Jasper Klinkhamer (Studio Klink) in collaboration with Remco Wilcke (Cube), who was also responsible for the construction. The content was developed by Hans van Helden and Matthijs ten Berge of Illuminate in collaboration with artist Matthias Oostrik and students of the Dutch art academy HKU."

Wästberg Lighting Collection 2009

Colombo w092t - LED table lamp by Carlo Colombo. 

"The way to package/present the non-material light has always been a challenge. This lamp leaves the typical form of a task lamp with its often complicated mechanism and adjustibilities trying to capture the light in a softer way, like a leaf directing the light on the working place. The technique is hidden behind soft floating forms allowing the user an intuitive approach while keeping the form pure/clean."

Claesson Koivisto Rune w091t - LED table lamp by Claesson Koivisto Rune.

"Two feet. Two lungs. Two brain-halves. Two eyes… Supported and held together with a spine. The idea of a pair is fundamental to the human body, as in other parts of nature. Central, single elements for poise, twin elements on either side for balance. There is our lamp. Organic design."

Studioilse w093w - Halogen IRC wall lamp by Ilse Crawford.

"Studioilse w093w - Halogen IRC wall lamp
Humans have different needs for light. From a intimate - personal light, to a light to share. Starting from the desk light, we developed a wall light which is about the communal aspect of lighting and joins us around the table. It is a grown up friend of the desk light, as they share the same innate awkwardness but with an own personality."

Wästberg launched the new collection at the Stockholm Design Week 09.  (link) (via)
