sander mulder lamps at generate

i love contemporary lighting and i love generate as a resource. look here at the sexy (and environmentally friendly!) pieces that have recently arrived from slick dutch designer sander mulder: the beautifully minimal, dimmable aluminum halo lamp (no light bulb!), and the playful handblown pyrex ceci (mentioned before), which uses the shape of a broken bulb as a shade for an led.

one is $229, and the other, well, you’ll have to ask… but they’re both available right here.

cmyk lamp shade by soner ozerc

i like this interesting laser cut acrylic cmyk shade from london-based designer soner ozenc. it is both flexible and intelligent, due to its flatpack design and option of mixing and matching any two of the four colors cmyk stands for: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. it comes in single colors or double combinations, and requires self-assembly.

i appreciate the minimal amounts of wasted material and space in the manufacture and packaging of these shades and enjoy the idea of changing the color of the shade to suit my mood.

find it right here, and see more intriguing designs on soner’s website.

bellato round table

ack! i’m nutty coconutty about this sleek round (well, the company calls it round) table by luciano bertoncini for italy’s bellato. it looks more like a wedge to me. revel in its curvy lines and the way it stores your stuff. three compartments open 360°, so all your remotes, mail, magazines and whatever else you have cluttering up your family room can now be hidden away.

bonus: this sleek piece of furniture is on wheels for added convenience!

i love intelligently designed furniture that can multitask — it’s almost like having an intimate, interactive relationship with what is in your home instead of simply occupying/admiring/dusting it all.

it’s offered in wenge or a black and white finishes, and dimensions are cm 59.5 x 59.5 x 37, or about 24″ x 24″ x 15″.

check out bellato’s website for more info.
