Birds and Bees

I have long been a fan of Linsey Adelman's organic hand blown light pieces and it seems like she has outdone herself again with these birds and bees sculptural table light pieces.

Vintage lamp shades

I love these vintage lamps by Kathleen Hills. The vintage glass shades have been sourced by Kathleen and given a contemporary twist. I think thse beautiful hanging lights will add just the right touch of soft vintage style to any bedroom.

Linsey Adelman

I simply love these modern lighting by Linsey Adelman. Each hand crafted fixture is made to order with hand-blown glass globes and custom metal fittings.

Gypsy Chandelier

Simply adore this Gypsy Chandelier from Australian website Mini-Style.

Cycle of Life

One of my all time favourite lighting designers, Nicolette Brunklaus, has launched a new collection entitled "Cycle of Life". To see here entire collection, click here.

Better View

The Better View black-out shades by award-winning Helinski designer Elina Aalto are composed of small cutout holes that form a city-scape composition of Helinski, Tokyo, Stockholm or Paris. A wonderful way to turn day to night! (via momed)

Tutu Lampshade

I just love this! Available here.

Energy Bucket

Now this is one bright idea! Stefano Merlo is the brilliant Italian designer behind this cool illuminated bucket. It collects light via photovoltaic panels during the day and gives back at sundown in the form of a radioactive-looking bucket. It is not clear whether Merlo has any intention to create more of these light buckets but I really hope they do! Will be perfect to jazz up a garden or outdoor party, don't you think?

Lindsey Adams Adelman

I really think these glass chandeliers by lindsey adelman are so amazing! Lindsey had been in the lighting design industry for 10 years, but it was when she became pregnant in 2003 that her personal approach and interest with lighting became clear. Before that, she had felt that she was losing touch with the reason why she came into design: the feeling of making things with her own hands and having the freedom to evolve designs. Today, the majority of her work is made in close collaboration with the client's ideas and desires. This process allows Lindsey to constantly explore and show clients the most recent research and sketch models. It also allows her to be constantly challenged and sustain a fresh interest in her work. Lindsey also creates art with hair. Yes, HAIR! (see below)

Glasklasen (the Glass Cluster) is a chandelier and repository for drinking-glasses with stems by Swedish design company Form Nasielsky. With a clear bulb, Glasklasen will provide a pleasant lighting and will be a gorgeous centrepiece above a dining table. The reflections from the glasses also creates lights and patterns on surrounding surfaces in the room. Available at Style Nordic.

Sticky Lamp

Designed by Chris Kabel for Droog Design. Sticky Lamp is like a sticker. Simply peel off the back and stick it on the wall.

A Vera Wang-esque chandelier

There is something about this chandelier that I really love but cannot pinpoint exactly what at the moment. Think it is the combination of the colour and simple form that draws me to it. Very Vera Wang-esque. From oly.

Lumen

Have you seen these lamps by artist and inventor Adam Frank? Made of acid-etched stainless steel, this innovative (patent pending) oil lamps give a soft light and shadow on any near surface. The shadow even moves about when the flame flickers!

Fairground Studio

Check out these patchwork-inspired lampstades and gorgeous fabric-covered journals from local designer Karen Huang of Fairground Studio. Karen gets her inspiration from colours, music and childhood memories. Her beautiful handmade journals can even be personalised with a name or message. Lovely!

Kyouei Design

I am so FACINATED by these balloon lights by Kyouei Design. They look so much fun and am sure they will light up any party! These are selling at The Asylum (which by the way has a beautiful website. i.e. must click to understand what I mean. Love the crazy music on their site and Japanese 101!).These chandelier bulbs are also so clever! You can even hang your favourite jewellery on them! Wonder if you can hang your clothes?

Nicolette Brunklaus

I have always had a soft spot for subversive designs that challenge the norm. Like these lighting designs by dutch designer Nicolette Brunklaus. A painted chandelier and an inverted lampshade. Nice!
