Funky fresh design Tetris table lamp

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

Tetris computer game design home accessories

We’re having a ‘funky lights seem like buses’ kind of time at the moment….as just as we find one fab design light, along comes another one that’s just as good.

So today we can’t help but bring you another lovely light, this time based on the classic computer game, Tetris.

Best fresh design lighting ideas

This brilliant Tetris light not only evokes the feel of the classic game, but it also brings with it a tiny bit of game play too. Okay, so it’s not quite like the real thing, but you can take the different shaped blocks apart and rebuild the design of your lamp, which is pretty cool.

The lamp comes with seven multi coloured Tetrominoes which fit together, plus a mains adaptor and cable, and it’s perfect for using on a table.

Firefox have the Tetris lamp in stock for just £29.99 – a worthy investment for die hard Tetris fans.

Zade designer table lamp made from plastic bottles

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

Lamp made from plastic bottles

Amazingly, this Zade table lamp is made from two old plastic bottles and is a brilliant example of recycling in action.

The flower design lamp head is crafted from an empty Lucozade bottle and an Oasis bottle. The bottles are cleaned and sandblasted to create an opaque surface, before being dyed into bold colours.

The lamp itself is both decorative and functional and can be bent and angled to your desired position.

The Zade lamps are made to order and a choice of colours are available. They can be ordered for £69 from Bouf.

Tripod style home lighting ideas

Tripod lamp

We love the tripod style of lamps and this particular lamp has a bit of an industrial vibe to it.

It’s sleek and stylish in black and chrome, and is available exclusively online from Urban Outfitters.

Just be careful if you order it as there are two versions – one with a UK plug and one with an EU plug fitting – and you don’t want to end up with the wrong one.

The black tripod lamp is priced at £85.

Contemporary design home lighting ideas

Contemporary floor lamp

This floor lamp is a brilliant design!

Although it reminds us of a stacked block tower, the kind a child would make, it’s taken a bit more than child’s play to design this.

The blocks can be rotated to provide light where you need it and are inlaid with a gold colour to provide a nice glow. It’s an unusual and tactile design and the perfect accessory for a contemporary home.

The Gemma floor lamp is available from Fashion For Home.

Contemporary designer home lighting ideas

Contemporary transparent lamp

Who knew a transparent block design lamp could be so appealing?

Designed by Harri Koskinen for Design House Stockholm, this simple but highly effective contemporary table lamp is artistically made from glass. It looks a bit like a giant ice cube with a light bulb encased inside!

The transparent effect is great, but thankfully the light produced when it’s turned on isn’t too harsh or overpowering, so it works well as a table lamp.

Made in Design have the Block lamp table light in stock, priced at £155.

Bring a bit of outside in (sort of..) with this Mini Foresti pendant lamp. The design is inspired by leaves found in forests and, although the greenery is artificial, it can give the impression that you’ve got plants hanging from your ceiling.

Fresh design lighting: Jeeves wall light and table lamp

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

Fresh design contemporary wall light

A while back we featured the somewhat quirky and unusual Jeeves and Wooster pendant lights – aka hats in the guise of lights. Now the black hat designs are back in force, this time used as a wall light and table lamp.

The Jeeves wall light and Jeeves table lamp are both designed by British designer, Jake Phipps.

We rather like the wall light, as it creates the impression of the hat effortlessly floating on the wall. The  table lamp is fun too, especially as it looks like the hat just happens to be balanced there, and the anodised gold lining shows up well in this design.

What do you think? Would you use the Jeeves hat lights in your home?

Both the Jeeves wall light and table lamp are available to buy individually from Graham and Green.
