Lighting Stucture : Santachiara’s Zabriskie Point

Lighting Stucture : Santachiara’s Zabriskie Point
From the center of Denis Santachiara’s Zabriskie Point suspension lamp is an egg-shaped lighting structure designed for Italian lighting manufacturer de Majo Illuminazione.

From the center of the fixture, Santachiara attached glass fragments on all sides to capture and change the arrangement of light as it bursts from the Zabriskie Point. Elegant and striking, this lighting sculpture would be a fantastic addition to a dining space for those looking to leave their dinner guests wowed. Certainly I would be stricken by this bold accent in a contemporary space, and it definitely caught my eye right away on the internet (so I can’t imagine how I’d react if I saw the Zabriskie Point in person aside from “wow”ing. Or possibly “ooh”ing and “ahh”ing).

Luján & Sicilia’s Zona Lights System

The Zona Lights would be smart accompaniments to long or circuitous hallways, accent lights for low-lit patios, or mood lighting for a modern bedroom possibly.

Bordered by a clear acrylic frame and developed from a polypropylene diffuser, Francisco Luján and Jaime Sicilia’s Zona Light pendant lights have an industrial feel that’s hard to find in colorful complementary light systems. Available in several sizes and several different colors, I love the way that these lights are a modern, progressive take on the shape of a lantern, or a creative a fusion of a spotlight and a table lamp. Either way, the acrylic frame allows for the Zona Light to both diffuse light evenly as well as glow on its own.

Creative LED Lighting Sculpture : Cumulus Maximus

Creative LED Lighting Sculpture : Cumulus Maximus
Though built from steel and glass, the design of the Cumulus Maximus has a weightlessness about it, and would have a fantastic addition to a hip dining room or for designers interested in creating an airy, delicate motif for a space. Certainly it draws the eye, but I feel that it would serve an interior space with round, white furniture and large, flat curvilinear accents really well.

Designers Daria Burlinska and Wojtek Traczyk have developed this creative lighting sculpture from the concept of a bulbous (no pun intended) cumulus cloud. Made from hand-formed glass bulbs, the Cumulus Maximus emits a subtle blue accent from LED lights strewn through the sculpture.
