Baxter 2016 Outdoor Collection

During the 2016 Salone del Mobile.Milano, Baxter presented the new outdoor collection at the garden of the Sheraton Diana Majestic in Milan. This magic place becomes a kind of winter garden where copper and the warm-brown selection of Baxter’s saddle leathers become the main characters. Comfortable seats made with stiff saddle leathers are highlighted and enhanced using materials like concrete. In the new outdoor collection there are also products in stylised shapes made with iron and matched with soft natural-shade leathers.

High quality making and materials, thought and produced to last over time, against wear and atmospheric agents, preserving their unique features. The main idea is to recreate an area where there is an exchange between indoor and outdoor, creating a sense of continuity and coherence in the surroundings. The final result is a place where each element is in harmony with another.

LAMPE DE MARSEILLE

A design classic created by master architect Le Corbusier for the Unité d'habitation of Marseille, a built residence between 1945 and 1952 . With this experimental building, Le Corbusier tries to achieve a new form of urban design: a "vertical village" called "residential units". He created the "Lampe de Marseille" to be installed in the residential units to optimise lighting. Reproduced by Nemo Lighting since 2010, the lamp is a symbol of modernism of the 1950s. The lampshade is made of two asymmetrical cones including two light sources for illumination both direct and indirect with adjustable arms.

Pragmatic and sober, the lamp shade features a diameter of 50cm and the body as well as the arm are made of lacquered metal. Available with matt grey or whitewash body and double switch on the cable for a functional and adjustable lighting source.

Intricate Brass Geometric Pendant Lamps by Futagami

Following our recent look at a selection of utensils and desk objects, we return to Japanese maker Futagami for more beautiful brass pieces. Designer Oji Masanori makes the most of the foundry’s 100 years of experience, channeling the team’s well-honed skills into a rustic line of textured, matte brass pendant lamps. Alongside classic cone and bowl shapes, more complex forms are offered with cut-out geometric patterns used across the “Star Shadow” and “Myojo” models.

Thanks to their pleasingly intricate surfaces, Masanori’s handmade shades cast a series of unusual shadows as light bounces off the interior; each one remaining equally handsome when switched off. Fans of organic, unrefined homewares can find the line available at Sanctuary Niseko.

Luceplan introduces the Stochastic & Mesh Lamps

In typical avant-garde style, Luceplan are championing the work of two inspiring modern designers in the form of Norwegian Studio Daniel Rybakken and Argentinian Francisco Gomez Paz Studio.

‘Stochastic’, created by Rybakken, represents a spectacular suspension lamp that breaks down barriers when it comes to theatrics and stature of contemporary lighting. Crafted from a range of glass spheres of different shapes and sizes, the lamp has no specific form as it allows for a multiple number of styles permitting on the creativity of the user. The beauty of the lamp resides in the fact that the glass spheres contrast against the centre source of the bulb to create a warm, indirect and soft luminous effect that will enrich any room.

The second lighting fixture lamp on display by Paz takes on a far more imposing façade. The result of endless experimentation with LED’s, the ‘Mesh’ lamp is a dramatic centre piece that blends luminance with highly innovative design. The design provides a range of different lighting scenarios and moods as the intensity and focus of each light can be controlled separately. The complexity of the design offers a strong, refined and even evocative lighting atmosphere, which goes someway in explaining why ‘Mesh’ was the recent recipient of the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design ‘Best of the Best’ award for 2016.

Take a closer look at both of the lights in the image gallery and see Luceplan's website for further information.

The Iconic George Nelson Bubble / Saucer Lamps

Together with Charles & Ray Eames, George Nelson (1908-1986) was one of the founding fathers of American modernism. Born in Hartford Connecticut in 1908, Nelson was part of a generation of architects who revolutionised product, graphic and interior design transforming everyday objects into works of art.

The Bubble Lamps, with their iconic sculptural shapes, were designed by George Nelson in 1947. They are constructed of an innovative taut plastic that coats a steel wire-frame. Nelson’s unique design and ingenious use of materials eliminate glare and provide an abundant, yet diffused light; A quality unique to this material.

Each lamp comes with a 5.25-inch brushed, nickel-plated steel ceiling plate. All sizes come with 6-feet of cord, with the exception of the extra-large which comes with 9-feet. The George Nelson Bubble Lamp® collection is also featured in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

A SCULPTURE OF SHADOW AND LIGHT: IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE

Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake has created a range of LED lamps for Italian lighting company Artemide that unfold from flat 2D shapes into 3D shades. Called IN-EI, each one is folded from a single piece of fabric that's made of recycled plastic bottles. Fibres in the material make it self-supporting so there's no need for a separate frame inside.

The project is a development of Miyake's earlier 132 5. project, where the same folding principles transform flat geometric pieces into garments.
