Mystic wall lighting by Jonggun Kim

toma — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 09:00:36 +0000

Fun and witty iconic design.

This design was inspired by the light on the wall, and it was designed by reinterpreting the image of an imaginary UFO as a child into a baby-like image that was friendly to people. When you turn on the switch, it is an Indian mood light that adds fun to the shape of the UFO. This product is designed to receive power from the battery and turn on the lights through the top button.

Click shelf by Studio Knob

toma — Mon, 25 Sep 2017 10:50:13 +0000

‘Click’ is the result of the action of magnetically joining the nylon ropes to the Click shelf, but it’s not the sound that is the dominant feature of the product… its the result of this sound.

Quite unlike any cabinet/light you’ll ever see in your life, the Click Light by Studio Knob comes with a flat metallic plate that acts as a shelf. Along with the shelf come LED embedded Nylon woven ropes, with magnetic ends that conveniently snap to the metallic shelf. When they do, they light up with a beauty that’s pure and inspired, turning a flat, unassuming storage area into something much more. The nylon ropes can be arranged in any way, and even across different shelves, and they light up beautifully, creating a decor piece that’s difficult to describe without using the word ‘unique’.

The secret to the magical, wireless lighting is the fact that the metallic shelves actually have low-voltage running through them. Right down the middle of the shelf is a partition, that separates the live half from the neutral half of the shelf. The woven LED ropes themselves come with magnetic ends that have positive and negative signs on them, and these ends literally need to be snapped on opposing halves of the shelf to complete a circuit, and they light up beautifully, without wires or switches, leaving one with a sense of awe and amazement. “When designing light fixtures, one of our favorite challenges is redefining the light switch so that it becomes a part of the phase that the fixture suggests”, say Adi Azar and Yotam Shifroni, the designers at Studio Knob. The result is a product that’s equal parts a shelf, a lighting solution, and a feat of magic that will entertain the people interacting with it, liven up the space it’s in, and hopefully inspire us designers to think outside the box more!

Coral by Väliala

toma — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 11:06:40 +0000

The harbor service pedestal Coral is inspired by a species of coral.

This organic shape allows us to create many different configurations. Multiple service hatches and power outlets can be mounted – depending on requirments. The body of the service pedesal is made from durable plastic and is semi transparent to light. This allows us to turn this functional piece of hardware into a light fixture that adds esthetic value to the environment.

The Muul Ligh by Changheon Lee

toma — Sat, 08 Apr 2017 13:26:16 +0000

The Muul light isn’t as much about the light itself but is more about the effects of it. Look at that pattern and it looks innately familiar, but also incredibly calming. The Muul harnesses water’s ability to bend light, creating a caustic network of beautiful light patterns that sway and change with the water’s ripples. When you switch the Muul on, you’re immediately audience to these beautiful reflections as they dance around Muul’s blank canvas, created from a small pool suspended right below the canvas itself. The pool holds the water (which is gently agitated by an electromagnetic ball, creating ripples) while lights around its rim shine down on the water, causing the caustic reflections to shimmer on the white surface above.

What’s incredible is Muul’s ability to not be a light, but rather a phenomenon caused by it. It isn’t designed to make your room brighter, but rather, to make it more beautiful, setting an ever-changing ambiance that is restless, but also at the same time, relaxing!

The Honey Strip by Jinhwan Kim & Hyein Lee

toma — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 23:05:57 +0000

Not ideally the first thing one would picture in mind upon hearing the words Honey Strip, but all in all this product is rather fascinating. Using the Honeycomb structure’s spatial efficiency along with electricals to create a modular power strip, the Honey Strip lets you plug individual points into one another to create an extension board that not only fits your space requirements, but also looks like an interesting work of art rather than one of those ugly store-bought power strips.

Made of independent hexagonal units that can plug into one another, and also let you plug your gadgets, appliances into it, the Honey Strip is infinitely customizable. It even comes with these halos around the plug-points that give off a warm light when on, allowing it to serve as a patterned ambient light too, aside from fulfilling your power needs!

Nighthouse by Lianne Siebring

toma — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 16:17:44 +0000

Nighthouse by Lianne Siebring isn’t just a bedside table but is the result of a search for the most ideal nightstand. Why don’t nightstands have lights? Why can’t you find the right page of the book the next day? With these questions Lianne Siebring designed Nighthouse by Night. A book can easily be placed on the roof, ensuring you won’t have to search for the right page the next day. Another thing that makes the design unique is the lighting that is already built into the nightstand.

In the new production edition a different fitting will be used, Lianne is still busy looking for a nice, suitable fitting. The foot is made from metal and the house of birch plywood.

CAP Lamp by Mars Hwasung Yoo

toma — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 07:44:05 +0000

Product designer Mars Hwasung Yoo about project: ” Objects used to create fixed idea of form and even human imagination. Most products have own typical shapes to present their functions. These products, switching elements over to something that have similar shapes, seem to be useless because the original elements are already fulfilled their basic functions. However, this is not only converting shapes, but also contributing to various stories which make people imagine by themselves. What we design create opportunities to imagine.”

HAT lamp by Mars Hwasung Yoo

toma — Sun, 06 Apr 2014 09:30:50 +0000

This hat-shaped light replaces the conventional lampshade with the shape of a hat that bears formal similarity. This allows functional satisfaction while guiding users to freely imagine on the basis of images associated with hats. The product was designed in an expectation that such imaginative images can generate values beyond visual aesthetics.

Prism nightlight by Nicholas Baker

toma — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 04:38:40 +0000

Industrial designer Nicholas Baker about project: “Prism nightlight is a bedside light, turned on by a simple tilt. The goal of this project was to explore a personal light device and create an innovative product taking inspiration from a notable designer. I researched the subtle subconscious cues from Naoto Fukasawa’s design philosophy, along with his playful attitude to create my design. The Prism is a simple nightlight, inspired by the classic see-saw. The light is turned on by a single tilt of the product, easing the hassle of finding and flipping a switch in the middle of the night.”

toma — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 16:49:50 +0000

Designer Rens Hein about project: “I have made this project for an assignment. I was inspired by the photo graphics from Bernd and Hilla Becher. Especially the geometric shapes, in combination with the precise details and the rough materials, appealed to me.”
