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

Inspired by measuring tape, this coat-hanger is made from two strips of hollowly rolled spring steel. Thus, a very simple yet foldable coat hanger evolves which can easily be inserted even into tight necks and unfolds automatically through its tension.

Lightbrick picks up the heat-energy that is produced by the light bulb as a waste-product and makes it useable. The heat is bundled in the brick, which works light a heating and radiates even one hour after switching off the light. The colour adds to the idea and provides a very warm light. The brick can easily be disconnected from the bulb and can be used as a bedwarmer just like in granny's times.

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.
