Charles Trevelyan continued his rise as a designer-maker by placing as a runner-up in the Laurent-Perrier New Design Award. With his Archipelago tables and Titanic lamp, he once again captured imaginations with his innovative use of materials and non-linear design ideas. Charles' work can be found on our e-shop, www.hiddenartshop.com, and in his designer-maker directory.

Don't be deceived by its simple form or somewhat ironic name. While it certainly resembles a hurdle, Hurdle Lighting aims to remove, not create, barriers to getting the right amount of illumination on a table or work space. The light structure is designed to stand either horizontally (like its namesake) or vertically, more like a desk lamp. A sensor detects how it's been positioned and operates the light accordingly.

Hurdle Lighting was designed by Koreans Lee Suk Woo and Byeon Dong Jin, and received a Special Mention in the 2007 Lightouch Design Competition in Singapore. No word on its commercial availability yet, but every contemporary work space could certainly use a lighting device as sleek and user-friendly as this.

This odd amoeba looking lamp is actually made from broken tempered glass coated with a silicone lining. This affords it the kind of malleability that Play-Do would be jealous of. The edge of the lamp is lined with white LEDs. The idea is to bend and fold it anyway you please to get different types of lighting effects. The shattered glass helps create interesting reflections.

Taking inspiration from spiders and formed by circling of convex rods around a coloured bulb, Spider stands out from the crowd with its sculptural form. When switched on, the coloured bulb emits the light backwards and the lamp casts giant shadows on the surface. A surprising effect that comes as a bonus
Material: stainless steel / brass

Carpyen, Spain
The family enterprise Carpyen was founded in 1954 when it started working with the designs of Antonio Carpintero y Encamacián. In 1972, Roberto Capintero joined the board and this led to a radical change in the company’s direction and products. Renowned designers such as Pascual Salvador or Gabriel Teixidó were asked to cooperate in the design and development of Carpyen lighting. They identified themselves strongly with Carpyen’s mission and created a number of lights that still shape the company’s identity today: for example the Galilea light which was awarded the Delta Prize Silver by ADI FAD in 1994. Carpyen is a founding member of the SIDI design group in Barcelona.

In Germany, Carpyen lighting is exclusively distributed by Interactive Light GmbH Cologne

A new range by the Belgian designer Luc Ramael, resulting from a reinterpretation of the typical table lamp. Two elements in blown glass without any metal connection characterize the explicit and elegant shape of GLAM: a cylindrical diffuser with flattened, closed top and the truncated cone base that supports it and holds the non-visible bulb support, The white, red, black milk-glass or mirror finish of the diffuser combines with that in white milk-glass or transparent crystal of the base.

A perfect circle for a downward light emission
Its clean and sober shape - a disc opaque upwards and luminous downwards - makes of tau a selected product to prevent light pollution.
It is designed on purpose for low pole lighting of pathways, walkways and gardens.
The disc, available in 2 diameters, is suitable for the new 22 and 55W circular fluorescent lamps.

“This constellation of lampshades arose while playing and composing with many different sizes. I was struck by the strong image that appeared when I just combined them as a bunch. They are composed with care but still random leaving it a lively nebula hanging from ceiling.” Joris Laarman

light bulb is a levitating yet powered lightbulb. It will float stably in midair and remain on for years without any physical contact, charging, or batteries. Ironically, with the levitation and wireless power circuitry both on, this entire package still consumes less than half the power of an incandescent bulb.

This is not a trick or a photoshop manipulation. The bulb and the casing contain hidden circuitry [shown in figures] that uses electromagnetic feedback to levitate the bulb roughly 2.5" from the nearest object, and uses coupled resonant wireless power transfer to beam power from the housing into the bulb itself.

Tesla invented wireless power transfer in the late 1890's. However this effect is still largely underutilized. I wanted to explore this effect coupled with feedback stabilization of a naturally unstable object. Details in the figures highlight the embedded circuitry and techniques used to levitate and power the bulb.
