Fish Out Of Water
This product is aptly named to convey the typical reaction people have on seeing the elements of water and electricity been used together. The association between the light and the water creates a particular effect. This can be adjusted to set different moods by coloring the water.

Hurdle Lighting for your desk
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.
The Spider
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
