MORPH CHANDELIER by Alicja Wasielewska
    The main concept takes inspiration from the transformation of nature in motion throughout free forms.  The MORPH CHANDELIER evokes the kinetic aspect of the morphological development in nature.  It's design ins based on the genesis of repetative patterns of transformation by random illuminated lines.  In terms of essential material, this design plays with a set of elastic fiber optics that are delicately manipulated to reveal this unique chandelier.  In terms of fabrication, the MORPH CHANDELIER reinterprets the traditional principles of making chandeliers.  The analogy of using traditional techniques of creating fabric like crochet methods is applied in this design, also is adapted by utilizing LED fiber optic technology.  In this way the entire construction of this "crochet space-frame" becomes a source of light supply.  So light is conducted through the fibres and they also define the structural frame.  

    Fiber optic technology is opening up doors in innovative design.  I love the movement, whimsy, and almost surreal characteristics of this chandelier.  These illuminated tangled fibers are a wonderful example of elegant chaos.

Wood Suspension Lighting Design by LZF Spain
    LZF Spain challenged designers to use their proprietary Polywood Veneer to create these spectacular lights for the Light and Nature collection.  Full of sumptuous curves, Link is the latest design from Ray Power in an ongoing study of form, repetition and geometry.  While the combination of Agatha, a concentric suspension light designed by Luis Eslava Studio, with Totem, a rhythmic column light designed by Dammer Et Calvo, creates one incredible light sculpture installation.

    When designing a light fixture, the first material that comes to mind would not ordinarily be 'Plywood Veneer', but the design world is enriched by those who thought to go there.  This collection is inspired by nature and constructed out of a natural material that adds a new texture and aesthetic to our notions of lighting.  

Morning Glory Floor Lamp by Aqua Creations   
     Aqua’s Morning Glory is a magnificent lamp spreading soft, dream-like light that brings character and distinction to any interior. The floor lamp is Aqua’s trademark design and lends its name to the extended Morning Glory Collection, inspired by highly stylized organic forms. Many of the pieces are distinct, featuring exotic creatures and flowers.

Helix Chandelier by Lyle London   
    The sculpture, comprised of illuminated dichroic glass is an intricate work of extreme elegance inspired by nature’s spiral forms and was commissioned by the Illinois Wesleyan University.  It is part of a series of Helix artworks conceived by London that are intended for public atriums.  Although the Helix itself is not moving, the illusion of movement and kinetic energy is produced by a fusion of color and animation created by subtly changing effects - both from the Robes, and the natural light permeating the glass walls of the Rotunda, and the interaction between the two. 

 Broken Light Bulb Lamp by Scheisse   
    Scheisse is a large pendant lamp shaped like a broken bulb.  Scheisse creates a distinct shadow and looks like a sculpture in its environment.  Scheisse is a blend of art and industrial design, an experiment with light and shadow as well as positive and negative space.  This large pendant light is as much sculpture as light and certain to dominate a room.  Made of steel, it has a matt covering of off-white, with the light bouncing off the segments of shattered bulb.
 

Shoal Chandelier by Dominic Bromley
    This fixture uses T5 fluorescent lamps.  Inspired by the bait-ball phenomenon where fish gather around to create a large mass in order to protect themselves from predators, Bromley created a light fixture made of several bone china fish sculptures.  A mass of fine bone china fish carying delicate sculpted detail, circle a central beam of light, creating a captivating cylindrical form.  Each fish is lit not only by reflected light from its neighbors but also from within, with the light passing through the delicate translucent china body.
