This unusual lamp was designed by the young Pasadena-based designer Soo Kwon. The idea of the piece, which is reservedly called Licht, was to combine high-design with low-tech manufacturing (the latter allowed for the relatively low price of the product). Kwon noticed how the traditional lamp silhouette shapes the light and made this shape an inspiration. The result – clever, functional and effortless design. The piece comes in two colors and in both floor and table versions. The Licht can be purchased online.

The words ‘modular’ and ‘customizable’ are music to our ears, especially if we live in an awkward and/or limited space. Consider the Cocoon, a versatile shelving unit created for Ideal Form Team by the Italian designer Paola Navone. The Cocoon allows all customization imaginable – the shelf can be built to fit any space and any stylistic preference. You can choose between open and closed storage, various effects and finishes, several digitally printed designs… The combinations are endless. As is fun to pick and change them.
