Lighting solutions that span the spectrum.




While cutting-edge lighting designers like Carpenter Norris and Lightwave are working, respectively, on the age-old problem of getting natural daylight into interiors and finding new applications for energy-efficient LEDs, the vast majority of lighting design still revolves around traditional lightbulbs. The quality and variety of that work, as shown here, is impressive and includes everything from SWON Design's marriage of handblown glass with neon to Karim Rashid's multipurpose Bongo lamp-stool-table.
