There’s something about epoxy and wood that creates some of the most fascinating wood pieces we’ve seen—be it a side table, a bowl, or in this case—a hand-carved pendant light. For his latest wood project, YouTube creator Modustrial Maker combined epoxy resin and LED strips into a cookie slab to create his hanging pendant light:…
Since they came screaming onto the scene in 2010 with what is arguably the most original light bulb design since…forever (?) with the Plumen 0013, the Plumen crew has kept their innovation streak going with new updates to the humble light bulb in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. For their latest collection, the…
While those in the Western world may not think twice about flipping the light switch on at night, off-grid communities such as those in sub–Saharan African have come to rely on dangerous and expensive kerosene to keep the lights on after dark. This kerosene can cost 20% or more of an individual’s income and have…

May I grant you inspiration from Malgorzata Ratajczak and Sebastian Szlabs, the crafters…
Flat-pack designs are among my favorite when it comes to simplicity and intelligent thought.

Wood, steel, concrete. It’s a match made in design studio heaven and the perfect combination for an iconic, highly-priced reimagining of the chunky WWII era searchlights that entire Battalions were formed around. Having seen that New Duivendrecht launched the Barrel Lamp light design from design duo Tim Smit and Erik de Nijs of Nieuwe Heren,…

Details are what the designers agonize over and what the manufactures spend so much time trying to get just right. This post is…
I’m sure you’ve stood alone in a dark room, with silence as thick as the black crawling over you. Then screaming… and pies. Thousands of pies. But where are they coming from? No one knows. It all seems to appear from the darkness of space. Much like the light that suddenly turned on to reveal…
Well now. Last week we had a little challenge for ya. Model up a light design, the best one winning a 3D Print from 3D Print service i.materialise. We had just a few entries. With the new year starting, many were likely too busy. Either that, or one of the entrants hunted you down, strangled…
