another group i have previously posted about (here and here) is 5.5 designers. for the new skitsch collection, they have designed a lamp called the fire kit. i like the graphical style, and playfulness, which (as you will see from the other posts) seems to be an integral part of their design process. very nice [...]
above is ‘tidelight’, a glass and cork table lamp by paris designer pierre favresse, part of the inaugural collection by the new french design company petite friture.

another article on designboom that caught my eye was one about scottish-born/stockholm-based designer david taylor and his collective ‘made by:’. the post featured a few lighting designed that i liked the look of, including the ‘glasgow’ table lamp (above) and ‘branch’ lighting (below). the thing i like about the branch lighting is that there are [...]
