Thanks to my lovely reader Benjy, here’s an alternative (photo above) to the $480 Talak desk lamp by Artemide I posted last week. Benjy’s alternative, the Stilo Desk Lamp, is available on Lightology. It’s a similar design and look, not quite as slim, but nice design nonetheless, and it’s $121, much more reasonable.
It’s been a week of stumbling upon cool and slim lamps. I found these beautiful prototype lamps (photos below) on Coolhunting. Can’t wait to see what the future brings in lighting design. There is so much innovation in lighting today. The “S-Lights” by Portuguese designer, Lutz Pankow, were showcased at New York’s annual “International Contemporary Furniture Fair” otherwise known as ICFF. They were part of an exhibit of emerging designers, and their prototypes, who yet to have manufacturing. Coolhunting has a nice write up on the designer and features of the slim engineering. Using magnets, Lutz Pankow is able to keep the hardware to a minimum. Interesting stuff.
