Dezeen's design and interiors reporter Jane Englefield highlighted a variety of unique lighting designs over the past month, featuring materials like silicone, resin, and repurposed objects.
**Lineair by Baptiste Vandaele for YSM**
Belgian designer Baptiste Vandaele drew inspiration from Bauhaus design for the Lineair table lamp. Developed in collaboration with Japanese company YSM, the dimmable lamp showcases a minimalist approach with its composed linear planes.
**Boxing Ring Lamp 081 by Matthieu Doucet for KØGE**
This whimsical table lamp, designed by Matthieu Doucet, mimics a boxing ring with its springy silicone strings. The lamp's lightweight structure is made from delicate washi paper that diffuses light softly through its translucent surface, all supported by a stainless steel frame. The tactile element of the silicone strands adds playfulness to its design.
**Flora Lamp II by Marcin Rusak**
Polish designer Marcin Rusak is known for encapsulating real flowers in resin. At the Collect craft fair in London, he showcased the Flora Lamp II, which features flowers and leaves illuminated by a dimmable LED light, creating stunning effects that appeal to design enthusiasts.
**Trishelf by Place in Place**
Emerging studio Place in Place presents Trishelf, a collection of stackable wall lamps inspired by architectural elements. Made from colorful resin blocks, these lamps feature E-shaped gaps that allow light to emanate from within. They can be displayed in various configurations, offering versatility in design.
**Fluid by Nao Tamura for WonderGlass**
Japanese designer Nao Tamura's Fluid pendant lamp resembles a heavy wine decanter filled with water, capturing the beauty of light refracted through liquid. This piece was created for the Italian brand WonderGlass.
**Donut by HAHA Studio**
Swedish design firm HAHA Studio introduced Donut, a lamp formed from two stacked solid aluminum rings. With integrated fittings, it can be used as a table, pendant, or wall-mounted light, embodying the soft curves reminiscent of doughnut shapes.
**Buké Lamps by Simon Skinner**
Simon Skinner's Buké Lamps gained attention at the Stockholm Creative Edition for creatively repurposing second-hand glassware. Skinner transformed bowls, ashtrays, and figurines from thrift shops into vibrant table lamps that appear to suspend objects in ice, presenting a striking visual commentary on discarded items.
**Orbita by Pleto Studio**
Ukrainian Pleto Studio crafted the Orbita floor lamp using a unique mixture of clay, hemp fibers, and wood shavings, culminating in a textured base. The shade, made from natural wool, emphasizes the beauty of organic materials.
