Pendant Teelicht by Jan Bernstein

Filed Under: Lighting

It’s Clever idea, extraordinary pendant. This small light is made out of a classic cup from Arzberg (virgin White) and a pretty furry pull switch which reminds a bit of a teabag. Pendant Teelicht is designed by Jan Bernstein of 10 Liter Design.

Well, that might be a superficial reaction, but taking in consideration its one-of-a-kind design, Teelicht pendant makes me want to have fun. Made of a classic cup from Arzberg, it has a pull switch that has been made in the shape of a tea bag. Now, the light in its entirety is totally yummy and will look a stunner in a space above your table or your counter top in the kitchen. The lamp has a E14 metal socket for 25 Watt bulb and made of a 10 x 12 cm china cup. It’s retails for €65 ($82).

Sweet Intuitive Lighting Switch from Philips Lighting & Philips Design

I love the sweet color saturation ring featuring in this modern switch by Philips Lighting and Philips design in collaboration with co designer Tom Pelzer. It looks very intuitive and the lighting is called the To Be Touched Range. Available in four different models of On/off/dim (IR), Color Temperature (DMX), Color (DMX), On/off/dim (Dali), the new sweet lighting switch can automatically turn the light off in just 15 seconds when there are no human being detected by this cool lighting switch.

The ring color saturation as I mention earlier isn’t just showing color saturation, in fact, it will adjust to the way how bright you set the lighting. The dimmer you set the switch then the deeper color saturation you will get. It’s really interesting how today’s interior design really influence even up to lighting switches. I must admit that the color will beautify and act more than just a switch unlike in the traditional common switch we found.

How does this thing works? Then here is how it works. “The main iconic color ring is touch-based and backlit for direct feedback / feedforward. It therefore can change its appearance depending on which functionality mode is selected by using the touch mode buttons with intuitive icons above the ring (for example color, saturation and intensity for the color user interface). With the To Be Touched user interfaces you have a choice of an infinite variety of colors –at the touch of a finger. In short, you control light with light!” Check further at their original web site here.

Dragon's Tail by Luisa De Los Santos Robinson

Design by Filipino designer Luisa De Los Santos Robinson, a member from Movement 8 ( a consortium of Philippines' most innovative designers), Dragon's tail floor & hanging lamp is a result of glowing creations form of nostalgic childhood games and memories of dragon stories. An intertwining of simple materials with calculated execution.

Luisa is an advocate of modernism and clean designs. She is nimble and prolific and her designs are marked by lightness and grace. She brings an air of unnerving aplomb to everything she creates. Her designs are mostly inspired by organic shapes and the different characteristics of the natural materials she chooses, and the end result is something so pure and simple yet totally unexpected. The lines she creates are clear and crisp so that even the materials of choice are a determining factor. Luisa puts emphasis on materiality, on the substance in design inherent in a material which leads to a synthesis of form and function, or an enhancement of both.

Dragon's Tail is currently produced by HIVE, a design and manufacturing facility where various designers can create objects for production under one roof.
