Photo Frame and Lamp in one Project - Splite - by Jaakko van 't Spijker
Rotterdam-based designer Jaakko van 't Spijker has invented lamp with a new purpose: this is a lamp-picture with a personal owner's photo. Splite (the name of the lamp) consists of photo frame together with an ambient light and 3D printed sculpture. Individual photographs are integral part of the resulting product. Buyers provide a set of photographs or pictures, which are mounted directly in the lights. Thus, when the owner gets tired of the picture, it can be easily replaced by the next out of the set. There are different kinds of lamps: they are hanging lights, wall lights and table lights. The stylish lamp spreads a soft light that gives the photos an original vivifying effect.

Pendant shaped bouquet of flowers: by Bocci
28 series pendant is a beautiful bouquet of luminous flowers, blossoming out right from above, designed by Omer Arbel (Bocci). The contemporary light fixture has a soft glow due to a large number of clear blown-glass spheres inside of which the smaller opaque milk glass globes - the very heart of the flowers - are located. Every single sphere is suspended on a tight wire so as to create a linear form. The most remarkable thing is that during the fabrication procedure the method is used, that produces a different shape in every iteration, so, as a result, every 28 series pendant has different individual shapes.
