Dynamic Lamp - Hand-Powered Lamp

Karin Johansson's lamp looks like a a globe of the Earth, powered by your hands. It transforms kinetic energy to light, through a dynamo placed inside the globe. As you spin it, it glows. Johansson explains: "The dynamo has fascinated me since before I knew what it was. I fell asleep to the sound of it when I was two years old sitting on the back of my mother's bike. My Dynamic Lamp is a part of the wireless society. It doesn't need any power supply or batteries, it just works with your own energy. It is based on the idea of producing your energy where you are, instead of transporting it in all directions across the earth. The sole by-product is exercise."

Marc Sadler has designed the Tress Lamp for Italian lighting manufacturer Foscarini.Tress is made with composite materials that are technically similar to those used by Marc Sadler and Foscarini when they developed the Mite and Twiggy collections, but with a completely different application and results, that achieve new expressive possibilities for the material and the development of manufacturing techniques.

RISES UP WHEN TURNED ON

When turned on, it goes up and stays up. When turned off, it falls limp. If you’re looking for a conversation piece, look no further. To clarify, V/a.g.r.a. is a lamp and its designer, Romolo Stanco of Italian design lab nonesiste, obviously has a sense of humor. Given the number of VIAGRA commercials broadcast lately, you really can’t blame him. Moving beyond the obvious puns, V/a.g.r.a. is in effect, a living lamp composed of “embryonic and morpho-organic articles that come to life, move and react as living creatures stimulated by light.”
