Tea Light

We have seen tea cup lights before but as we all know it is the little details that make things sing.
This tea cup light from Das rote Paket, has the best detail of them all. 

I hope everyone had a good week last week. 
We took our first vacation ever, and it was fabulous... we did nothing. 
What I have always dreamed of.

Brand New/ Retro

 -
Taiwanese designer pili wu, in partnership with craft artist jian-an su have created 'IKEA plus tertial'. here, the IKEA tertial lampshade is given a transparent porcelain cover containing a pattern within - portraying a mythical battlefield of tigers and dragons - all brought to life as if in a fiery inferno, when the light is switched on. wu and su have transformed this typical desk light's plain bulb into a mysterious fireball.

This is a fantastic take on the whole ready made, re-purposing concept.  I love IKEA, but it can sometimes lack some soul that this really brings to the piece. The blend of design, production, ceramics, history and function really come together to make an exciting art piece.

Resolution

The lights designed by Guillaume Delvigne come in three different "resolutions" 300, 144, and 72. Called the DPI series (that takes me back to the dot matrix days) the lights use translucency and light diffraction for their effect. The different pixel densities create different light and shadow effects.

Flashlight

These flashlights are slipcast porcelain and work as pendant lamps. The item description does not say if they are translucent. Get them here. 

Light Brigade

This light is by designer Korean designer Hwa-jin Jung. I do like it. the casualness of the bulb combined with the tension of the plates strikes a nice balance. Although I am very sensitive to light (blue eyes) and I really hate exposed bulbs. None the less this is quite nice.

 

from the designer.

"I expressed new culture that comes from the difference of expression in describing the word “putting in” between the east and the west. Using the language, I created a new language design that gives us unreal feelings with western illumination and Korean container.  Sense of suspense was expressed through the type of piled containers and there’s an electric bulb at the bottom of the container. With the language of formative arts, the expression “putting in” was drawn out. As a result, considerate contemplation was elicited through traditional properties of containers and the illumination of foreign culture."

These light fixtures were designed for the restaurant Le Club Chasse et Peche in Montreal. The restaurant specializes in wild game fare, so the light fixtures are exceptionally appropriate for setting the scene. This takes our discussion on food and clay to a whole other place.


The lights were designed by Antoine Laverdiere and are made of porcelain.

Turning Magic Tricks

I saw Wolverine this weekend, don't hold it against me it was the second feature at the drive in, The first feature was Star Trek, super cool. Anyway, Wolverine sucked but there was one part with the character played by Dominic Monahan, worked a a circus freak who could create electricity. Part of his act was lighting a light bulb in his hand. So in response I had to post this lamp from The Afternoon. I only wish there was a better way to hid the wire.
