When completely closed, it measures just 2.75″ tall (and looks like a high tech stapler). Open it up, and it can reach up to almost 22″ in height. This beautiful design doesn’t come cheap, the price is $595 USD, but if you want something cool and elegant you have to pay the price.

Brainchild
Brainchild of Brazilian designer Rafael Morgan “The Light Drop”. This watery light features a tap oozing out of a big drop of lighted water.

Just turn it around and you can control the effects. Must say this will indeed be a unique addition in your home decor.
Good Night Eileen
Good Night Eileen by Christine Birkhoven is based on the archaic hand-lamp, which was used for illumination moving from one room to another at home in the dark. The lamp uses LED technology which allows low electricity consumption. Electricity is transferred between the lamp and its base via magnetic induction with no visible connection. According to the designer, “the ceramic material plays an important role by transporting the user back to a time of candle-holders and hand-lamps by means of its appearance and feel and primarily by the way it is held.”

LULL is a lamp that opens and closes like a flower. In the evening the lamp gives a warm glow, to give a feeling of safety while it slowly turns itself off.

LULL is an award-winning product made for GiForm 2007, an industrial design competition in Norway.“
