Loop Lamp by Timo Niskanan

It’s back to the world of lighting and product design again and this crossed my radar a few weeks ago but I’ve just not had the time to post it for all of you to see yet.

It’s a beautiful table lamp in the shape of a Loop designed by the talented Finnish designer, Timo Niskanan. Designed to be be timeless it is meant to stand the test of time by remaining classic and stately in it’s form. Using LEDs as a light source means it’s also an efficient piece too.

If you click on the image above you will be taken to Timo’s website, where you can look at his other pieces. We also particularly liked the lamp which switches on when you place a two Euro coin in a slot in it’s base, very nice, called “Change”.

Whilst the loop light is listed on Timo’s website as a prototype it can only be a matter of time before it becomes a production model. Everybody says well done Timo, we really like this and hope it is available soon.

Recycled bottle lamp

Don’t get me started on recycling – it is a huge can of worms which is hard to keep to a short, single weblog post. But this is a way to recycle which I can get behind. Soon to graduate, Shelley Spicuzza, has designed a system which allows you to use your old drink bottles to good effect. The image above shows green bottles, such as Sprite or Mountain Dew but you could use red or other colour to create other effects by mixing them up.

Seems like a bit of a recurrent theme recently lights, I’ll be looking farther afield to find different stuff for you all next one. Promise.
