I don’t think anyone will ever doubt that the designers at droog think outside the box. Certainly Hector Serrano did when he came up with Clothes Hanger Lamp – so simple, but incredibly intriguing. A bright white shirt lit up in you closet. Granted this would not work in the scary closets of my children – however, I can see it in a pristine, organized fully built out closet casting a beautiful glow on neatly lined shirts – almost like a set…

In 1951, Isamu Noguchi began looking the age old traditions of Japanese lantern making in a new way. It was “… a logical convergence of my long interest in light, sculptures, lunars and my being in Japan…” Combining paper and bamboo to enhance the quality and sensibility of light – his Akari sculptures celebrated the “…less thingness of things”.
The name Akari means light as illumination in Japanese. It also suggest lightness in contrast to weight. Noguchi designed the sculptures as though they hardly exist – to the extent that they can be folded and put away when not in use. They do not encumber, they illuminate and as such have become an icon of midcentury design.
Vazo Methusela by Seattle based Rotoluxe makes a very big statement. At 44″ high and 48″ diameter, this giant lighted pot works indoors or out in public or private spaces. Rotoluxe’s mission is to bring a clean contemporary look in an environmentally friendly package – mission accomplished on both fronts. The products contain recycled post industrial consumer plastics and are, themselves, 100% recyclable. They are powered by a low wattage CFL or battery powered LED source. Available in 13 colors, although I’d have a hard time passing up natural, shown here.
