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!

Prism nightlight by Nicholas Baker

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.”

Product Designer Yaksein Eliran about project: “The disruption of the scissors and the fracture of the familiar icon by multiplying it, adds gripping comfort in any condition, for any human hands. In a similar way to a peacock spreading its feathers in order to grab attention, the scissors test their luck of the working desk.”

The seating object is composed of a box component and five soft elements: two square cushions, two L-shaped cushions and a rectangular pad; all of which can be arranged in a number of configurations to function as an armrest, footstool or pouf, the main structural frame acting as a binding agent that can be used as a single bed.

The soft elements can be used independently from the main box frame.

The two square and L-shaped pillows can be arranged to act as either an armrest, footstool or pouf.

The individual components of “concentré de vie”.

All of the soft elements contained within the box frame form a sofa.
