Ligne Roset and Florian Brillet have collaborated to create Sous Mon Arbre pendant lamp. A pendant lamp that easily moves from inside the house to the garden, and can be hung on tree branches within reach of a power point.
The pendant lamp sells for between €77 and €240 in France.
In 2010, after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Anna Stork and Andrea Sreshta got together and decided that there needed to be a lighting solution that could be easily and simply set up when utilities like electricity were not available.
They developed the LuminAID, a solar-powered lighting solution that was portable, lightweight waterproof and could float.

The Eliminator by Merve Kahraman is a desk lamp that uses shredded paper as its shade. It allows the user to totally customise the lamp depending on what paper the user chooses to shred.
At the base of the lamp is a plate that catches the discarded paper for easy disposal.

This lamp by Suzanna Malinowski is a delightful fusion of pot plant and table lamp. The base of the lamp acts as the pot from which a plant grows, the plant then influences the light that is emitted, simulating the dappled shade of a forest glade inside your home.

I absolutely love the idea of taking what you would normally throw away and making it into a functional piece of furniture or art in your home. So when I saw this, I was smitten! The lamp was made using discarded soda pop ring pulls, bent and manipulated to interlock with each other to frame the shade. The site is in Chinese, but the pictures are fairly easy and self explanatory.
I love anything that can serve double duty, like a table that folds into a partition, or a cell phone cover with space for your cards and ID. This lampshade from Czech designer Krystyna Pojerova certainly does that. It was developed with the modern desire to grow herbs in the kitchen. The lack of space meant that the herbs would have to be hung from the ceiling. Such an innovative design surely deserves to be put into production.

Steve Faletti has made a radiator that radiates light instead of heat, and to keep it true to its roots as a water based appliance, the light switch is a water spigot. This unusual home fitting is bound to be a hit with people who are looking for an alternative lamp for their living room.
The design was featured on Yanko Design and Kastormag
