Prisme Lamp

235554__rwvba1id4gzkhp9kf38b6eav

With an elegant, cheerful and flexible design, Prisme lamp from Yoann Henry may turn out to be a pleasant companion for dark rooms with no friendly lights.

The lamp is made out of flexible cubes that can be “mixed up”. Due to this fact, you can easily make up your own lighting, by simply moving the position of the cubes.

For more about this product, you can visit the designer’s web page here.

“Plain Lighting”

plain01dailyicon

This design was exhibited recently in Milan, Italy. The collection was named   Complimentary Colors, designer  Jin Kuramoto.

Jim Kuramoto says: “We have expressed a visual phenomenon which produces a three-dimensional impression of given objects when combined with strong colors.
 This results in complementary colors and light emission causing it to resemble a state when the moon loses the three-dimensional impression of the sphere, and to shine similarly to a planar like mirror.”

Fluid Rocker, The Way to Relax

fluid_rocker_01

Feel free to slip into sweet meditation with these comfortable and colorful rockers.

And because no one can describe the Fluid Rocker better than the designer himself, here is a statement from Nick Trincia:

“My entry for the RELAX Design Competition is one of the most relaxing of all pieces of furniture, a rocking chair. The Fluid Rocker’s soft curves and ergonomic form make it as inviting to look at as it is to sit in. The chair’s flowing organic shape is achieved through a one piece fiber glass construction with a high-gloss finish. For added comfort and texture, a layer of soft natural felt wraps over the entire outer face of the chair. On the upper side of the chair, the felt provides added cushion for sitting, while on the underside of the chair it provides for quieter, softer rocking, and protection for your floors.”
