Nomads: Lighting Trend

Thanks to featherweight LED technology and innovative material use, lighting designers are finding new ways to create floor and table lamps that can easily move around a space to meet changing needs. Read on to find out how floor and table lamps are lightening up:

Juniper, M Lamp, portable, lighting trend

M Lamp and Rivet by Juniper: Launched in 2011, Brooklyn-based Juniper Design has launched two portable lamps by British designer David Irwin. Introduced last year, the cordless, lithium battery-powered M Lamp is inspired by the archetypal miner’s lamps of 19th century Northeast England. The more recent installment of Irwin’s collaboration with Juniper, the wireless Rivet lamps take inspiration from another relic of the industrial revolution. www.juniper-design.com

Chiara, lighting, trend, portable

Chiara by Ilide: A hand-molded globe of Murano glass surrounds an inner globe illuminated by a high-performance LED, which operates with a blinking effect that is imperceptible to the human eye, but which reduces the lamp’s energy consumption, temperature, and overall performance during its lifetime. www.ilide.it
