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.

Alien Torchere by Dmitry Grigoriev and Alexey Zudin

This far-out floor lamp takes on the familiar shape of a playful UFO! Called the Alien Torchere, its exaggerated legs and fluid shape are reminiscent of ones you might see in retro science fiction flicks. Decorative blue inlays inspire the imagination and look like windows for curious creatures inside! They also emit a cool blue light when the lamp is switched on. In contrast with its otherworldly form, its material composition is natural and organic in raw wood that’s polished to extraterrestrial-like perfection!

Private Moon by Leonid Tishkov

The project Private Moon, created by Leonid Tishcov, a Russian artist, is a beautiful piece of art. His photography and poem captures the essence of each photograph as it creates a story about the Private Moon.

Leonid Tishkov explains his work,” Private Moon is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life. In the upper world, in fact in the attic of his own house, he saw the Moon falling off from the sky. Once she was hiding from the Sun in a dark and damp tunnel. But the passing trains frightened her. Now she came to this man’s house. Having wrapped the Moon with warm blankets he treated her with autumn apples, gave her a cup of tea, and when she got well he took her in his boat across the dark river to the high bank overgrown with moon pine-trees. He descended into the lower world dressed in the clothes of his deceased father and then returned from there lighting up his path with his personal Moon. Crossing the borderline between the two worlds across a narrow bridge, immersed in a dream and taking care of this heavenly creature, the man became a mythological being living in a real world as in a fairytale. Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right. Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.”

Tête d’Ampoule Lamp by Jonathan Gomez

Designer Jonathan Gomez about project:

Tête d’Ampoule was a 3-day project where I was asked to reseach ways of connecting and interacting with the user. I decided to explore the quality of visual interaction, looking at how children interpret objects and forms in their environment. When choosing to design a lamp, one of my aim was also to show what is usually meant to be hidden in light fittings: the bulb and and electric cord. I wanted to put those two parts at the center of the design.
