A unique light source. The lamp lives in the corner of a room, creating a glowing triangle that seems to blend-in and stand-out simultaneously.
A steel bracket containing the light source mounts in the upper corner of a room. A magnetically attached fabric diffuser attaches to the bracket to complete the iconic light fixture.

nice! too bad about the electric cord though. I wish that was tidier.
thanks for the link to the pdf, cheapo. seeing it at a slightly different angle, i get why you like that lamp. me, i couldn't tell by that straight-on view.
ps.. welcome! ....
this lamp caught my eye. it's the big teardrop-shaped lumps demanding to be grasped.
A joint venture between JOBY and designer Peter Stathis has produced a 102-diode LED lamp that may win over even the most ardent lovers of incandescents.
medesignmag said...British firm Another Country will be showcasing several new additions to their range of contemporary furniture as part of the A.S.A.P. design collective at this year's Clerkenwell Design Week, which begins in London today.
Building on the success of their 'Series One' collection which launched last September, Another Country have come up with a new desk, two new coffee tables, plus a bench with a backrest, all beautifully hand-made in solid wood in their workshop in Dorset.
Another Country's selection of stools and bar stools will also be on display, as well as its popular daybed.
Another Country's Paul de Zwart says;
"Our designs call on the familiar and unpretentious forms of the British country kitchen, Shaker, traditional Scandinavian and Japanese woodworking. It's the spirit and functionality of these honest styles that we endeavour to reinterpret for a modern customer."
The firm are also launching a new retail partnership with twentytwentyone. Visitors to twentytwentyone's showroom in Upper St, Islington, will be able to see Another Country's square and rectangular coffee tables and its new pottery collection from late May onwards.
If this whets your appetite, then get ready for more later in the year as AC will launch the full Series Two collection during the London Design Festival in September...
they sure do. i really like their plain 3-legged milking stools. the day beds look cool, but don't look very sturdy to me; i could be mistaken. i'd have to jump on one for a minute or so and see if it breaks.

i wonder what the weight of 5,800 nails does to this table. the legs don't appear to be steel. (i like the table, btw)
(ok, they are made from cork and mdf, not pebbles)
clothes before hoes said...Like a polished pebble from a riverbed Marco Sousa Santos’ Lasca tables are softly rounded but unlike them, rich in texture thanks to its cork construction.
Made of agglomerated cork with a lacquered MDF table top, Lasca comes in different shapes and sizes. Says Lasca producer Materia, “Lasca functions as a support or work surface. Steadier than a tray, more practical and unrestricting than a table, you can use it to rest a TV remote or glass, prop up a computer or set your notebook or reading material down.”

the ampersand lamp is their most popular and it was out of stock last i checked. the other options can be seen here.
binary low table - they do chairs, too!
now, i know what (one of) mick's reactions is to this, and no - i wouldn't want to be in charge of keeping it clean, either.
Peg uses a simple clamp mechanism found in a clothespin rather than the traditional twist socket utilized in most household lights.

my treadle sewing machine has a lamp just like this; if the machine ever dies a final death, the lamp will definitely become something like it.
these futon-chairs are a great idea, but is babyshit green trendy these days?
this Brickmaker's table and the sewing lamp both come from Restoration Hardware

this is so lovely. LED moon.
i'd be tempted to play catch with it.
speaking of bathtubs (I was)... i almost covet this, if for no other reason than the size. square corners in bathtubs seem a place for mildew.
but gosh it looks damn cool.
