When it comes to design inspiration for all sorts of things, nature is one of the most popular sources. From architecture to technology to lifestyle products to product concepts, we see all sorts of designs that take its cue from nature all around us. Lighting fixtures are no exceptions and this project in particular is based on plants and transposed to a pendant light.
From the name of the project itself, Nature Inspired Pendant Light, you already know where the designer got its inspiration from. It’s a Chinese Lantern like lighting fixture but with a combination of organic curves and the visuals of a plant fruit pod inside a husk. This is an aesthetically pleasing design and the challenge was to produce an actual product that can keep the original idea.
Since this is a pendant light concept, there is an adjustable fitting to hold it in place and it represents the stem of the plant although it’s located at the top. The top cover is made from aluminum sheet base with. Then you have the glass globe with the LED light inside and then steel rods surrounding it. At the bottom of the fixture is a leather cord with tassels to give it another natural looking element.
The final output of this project looks like a combination of a plant pod and a jellyfish which still gives off natural vibes. This is still just a project and a prototype so commercial production doesn’t seem to be in the cards. But it’s an interesting take on the pendant light which is sometimes more industrial or elegant looking than natural.
Experience the perfect blend of artistry and functionality with LUA, a moon-inspired lighting design from the Madrid-based furniture brand Woodendot. This innovative lighting collection transforms any space with its soft, ethereal glow, offering a unique way to create a cozy and inviting ambiance.
With its delicate shapes, LUA is designed to reflect light softly, instantly making any space feel cozy and inviting. Drawing inspiration from the celestial beauty of the moon, Woodendot has crafted LUA to replicate the serene experience of gazing at the cosmos. This new addition follows up on Woodendot’s ALBA table collection, which launched in 2019 and captures the essence of sunlight on rippling waters. While ALBA, meaning “sunrise” in Spanish, brings the warmth of dawn, LUA, translating to “moon,” offers a subtle luminance that creates a tranquil atmosphere.
The intention behind LUA’s design extends beyond mere functionality. Raquel Hernandez, the designer of LUA, stated that their aim was to create a lamp that not only provides illumination but also enhances the atmosphere of any space. She explained that by incorporating unique textures and a front panel with a strategic fold, they achieved a balance between soft illumination and captivating design.
LUA consists of two wooden panels that enhance its aesthetic appeal. The back panel is corrugated, adding a textured element to the design. In front of it, a smaller panel with a slight fold casts an eclipse-like light onto the background, creating a captivating visual effect. This thoughtful design process involved collaborative participation from Woodendot’s users, who helped decide the three distinctive shapes of the LUA collection. Available in seven colorways and three sizes, LUA is the missing element for creating a room that is warm, inviting, and cozy.
When placed on a similarly finished wooden table, LUA looks like an extension of the table, blending seamlessly and enhancing the space’s overall design. Its aesthetic appeal and functionality make it the perfect way to achieve the room ambiance you’ve been dreaming of. Thanks to its delicate shapes, LUA reflects light softly, complementing your room and creating an instantly cozy environment.
LUA’s ethereal look offers a unique perspective on room lighting. Designed to create a cozy ambiance in the busiest rooms of a home, like the living room, LUA combines shapes and pieces that complete the space and invite you in. The lighting pieces are composed of three carefully positioned panels that portray light organically, forming a halo effect. This, combined with its light intensity, creates the perfect atmosphere for any room.
Woodendot’s LUA lighting collection is a masterpiece that brings the soft glow of the moon into your home. Its blend of art and functionality, combined with thoughtful design and user collaboration, makes LUA an essential addition to any space, transforming it into a cozy, inviting haven.
A few months back, HMD Global, which now brands itself as “Human Mobile Devices,” teased the existence of a Barbie-branded flip phone. Since it has Mattel’s name riding it, was surely not some simple marketing ploy or early April Fools, but an actual product that was just biding its time. That time has finally come and the official and functional Barbie Phone is finally here, or at least for some markets. The retro-chic flip phone is unabashedly pink and, well, totally Barbie, and just like the era that it pays homage to, the phone goes back to a time when mobile phones were really just mobile phones. Perfect for a GenZ vacay, or so HMD says.
Although the recent live-action film put the iconic doll in a very different perspective, generations will always remember Barbie and her friends as fun-loving teens. Of course, the franchise has a rich history with many twists and turns, but the spirit of the product has always revolved around the joy of the moment and spending it with friends. That’s the kind of almost Zen-like message that the HMD Barbie Phone is trying to send, telling the GenZ crowd to give their phones a vacay and enjoy their own vacay the old-fashioned way.
In terms of technology, the Barbie Phone is pretty much just a specially-branded feature phone with a classic clamshell design. It opens up to reveal a small 2.8-inch “QVGA” (that means 320×240 pixels) screen above a conventional T9 keypad. It runs the old Nokia S30+ platform, which means it barely does anything other than make calls, handles text messages, and a few specialized utilities and light games. Even the 0.3-megapixel camera is terribly old-school, and not because HMD is trying to be cheap. Every facet and feature of the Barbie Phone is designed to deliver a retro phone experience for a reason.
In addition to decades-old aesthetics, the HMD Barbie Phone tries to embody the “digital detox” lifestyle that some GenZers are embracing, at least during vacations and breaks. The phone focuses on features that immediately connect friends on a more personal level compared to just tapping hearts and giving likes. You can still take photos, of course, but even that will be in the style of classic, old-school photos where everyone has to squeeze together to fit.
That’s not to say HMD is using it as an excuse to skimp on details. In fact, the HMD Barbie Phone is quite overloaded with knick-knacks and accessories that will make any Barbie fan gush. Two interchangeable colors add some pizzazz to that hot pink motif, while stickers, a beaded lanyard, and charms offer plenty of room for personalization. On the software side, you have a special watermelon-theme Snake game variant, themes and sounds from the franchise, as well as apps that guide you to be Zen in the middle of a summer beach vacation. The HMD Barbie Phone is going for 99 GBP, around $130, but it won’t launch in the US until sometime in October.

Advancements in technology, material science, and processes have taken man’s production capabilities to a whole new level. However, with advanced manufacturing, traditional craftsmanship and values have been left by the wayside, sometimes forgotten, and other times discarded as if they were no longer important or were even counterproductive to progress. Of course, this couldn’t be further from the truth, as there will always be elements of traditional crafts and modern tooling that could be mixed in an elegant way. Such is the premise behind this rather striking lamp, highlighting not only the beauty of traditional, handmade crafts but also promoting the culture and the livelihood that also grow alongside it.
Handmade products are admittedly not suitable for mass production. As many have realized by now, however, not everything has to be mass-produced in the first place. Simple, everyday items might be fine with generic and standardized designs, but in exchange for speed and ease of manufacturing, they often lack personality, depth, and impact. Fortunately, you don’t always have to go to either extreme and find some middle ground that showcases the strengths of both methods.
Catalina is a lamp design that does exactly this by combining ordinary lamp electronics and foundations with a lampshade that’s meticulously woven by hand. Specifically, it uses palmetto leaves and traditional weaving techniques called “llata” from Mallorca on one of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Unsurprisingly, this technique is passed down through generations and is mostly done by the women of the locale, a practice whose existence is being threatened by the rise of mass-produced furniture and lighting.
This lamp, however, illustrates the beauty that can come from the melding of past and present. The woven palm leaves form two cylindrical shapes in the form of an eight that encloses two bulbs inside each space. A gap between the two circles is filled by a transparent sheet of glass or fiberglass, serving as a diffuser for the light. The effect is a serene glow that passes through the weave like an otherworldly light.
Lamps like Catalina take time to make and are often more expensive because of the labor involved. That, however, also makes the design more special, giving it a unique character similar to a limited edition product. And unlike factory-made lampshades, these handwoven materials will have differences and imperfections, flaws that become selling points exactly because they are different from any other lamp from the same product line.
3D printing is a truly revolutionary technology that blasted open the floodgates of creativity and design. It gave almost everyone a powerful tool to realize their dreams and experiment with their ideas. These machines also made it easier to have more flexibility in the execution of designs, like adding an element of randomness to each output. That’s the kind of uniqueness that each of these Maze Lamps brings to your room, catching your attention with its unique lines and snaking paths, creating a play of light and shadow even when the lamp is turned off.
Most people probably think of 3D printers as extras large boxes that sit on desks, applying layer upon layer of melted plastic to complete a small shape. In reality, there are different kinds of 3D printers and different types of printing, and while the most popular machines are designed for use by individuals or small businesses, it didn’t take long for industrial-grade ones to pop up. This kind of printer offers a bit more flexibility in terms of movement and can cover a wider area as well.
The Maze Lamp design takes advantage of this capability by having an industrial 3D printer lay out the lines over a rotating axis. Normally, what you’d get is a cylindrical shape that looks like it was made from a spindle of extra-large spaghetti as the plastic material coils around and around the slowly spinning base. But if you move the nozzle forward, backward, and sideways while it spins, you can create more interesting patterns that look like the lines of a maze. Stack those lines on top of each other and you get a three-dimensional maze on a cylinder.
What makes this process even more special is that the pattern of these lines is random. No two Maze Lamps will ever have the same design, making each piece a one-of-a-kind item. For programmers and designers, this kind of procedurally generated pattern adds a unique characteristic to every iteration. As a bonus, the material used by the 3D printer is made from plastic shredded from discarded refrigerator doors, giving our own waste a beautiful new lease on life.
Thanks to the three dimensional patterns printed around the core, the Maze Lamp entices viewers whether the light is on or not. The light shining from the casts an eerie glow, almost like some otherworldly artifact found hidden in some ancient Aztec temple. On its own, the lamp becomes a sculptural art piece, not unlike a totem that represents the aesthetics and the technology of civilization that made it.
There are many metaphors and analogies related to dawn when the rising of the sun is often compared to new beginnings or opportunities to begin anew. Dusk, however, is just as magical a time as its polar opposite, when the light of the sun is all but spent but lingers every so briefly before giving way to the restful night. For many people, it is a calming moment that signals the end of a busy day and the start of a period of reflection and peace. That is the soothing atmosphere that this set of mood lamps tries to convey, and they do so in the most minimalist way possible using nothing more than a few pieces of regular cardboard.
Designer: Óscar Santos
Cardboard is a material that’s so common that it’s too easily taken for granted. It’s stiffer than paper but less durable than wood, so it’s often used for packaging that’s meant to just be thrown away. It’s a complete waste, of course, especially when the pieces of cardboard are still pristine, but there are few known uses for them outside of breaking them down and recycling them like paper, which also consumes water and energy. Fortunately, there are also a few creative souls who want to give cardboard a chance, like this collection of lamps that take advantage of cardboard’s natural properties.
CENIT, which means “zenith” in Spanish, is a group of three atmospheric luminaries inspired by the highest point of the sun just before nightfall, the dusk that heralds the transition of light into darkness. Rather than use a light source that has to be mixed with the right color temperature in intensity, these lamps simply rely on how cardboard actually naturally reflects and diffuses light in a warm tone and soft brightness. No additional parts are needed, no filters or other materials: just a normal white LED strip and two pieces of cardboard with a certain gap between them.
This super-simple configuration creates an equally simple design that makes it easy for CENIT to blend almost anywhere. The wall lamp is just two long capsule-shaped pieces of cardboard with the larger serving as the base and the smaller hiding the light elements behind it. The desk lamp is a bit more decorative, with the two pieces set on a rectangular stand. On the other hand, the pendant light offers more flexibility, as the smaller cardboard with the LED or bulb can be turned to face away from the other cardboard piece and toward any area that needs more direct and brighter illumination.
The minimalist design also makes the lamps very sustainable, replacing only the parts that get worn down or broken. Given how many cardboard boxes are discarded every day, there will be no shortage of materials to use for replacements or new lamps. It’s a very interesting and poetic design that is able to set the mood and atmosphere in a room almost like magic, just as dusk paints the sky with an enchanting hue before the mystical darkness of the night sets in.
The Hidden Honeycomb Light Box is a lamp that is a portal to a world of hidden beauty and captivating design.

Made from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a biodegradable material known for its eco-friendly properties, this light box stands as a testament to sustainable design. The honeycomb structure, meticulously brought to life through 3D printing, is not just for show, it’s a symbol of efficient material use, blending aesthetics with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
One of the most captivating aspects of the Hidden Honeycomb Light Box is its ability to adapt to different environments. Whether it’s gracing a modern office, adding warmth to a cozy living room, or bringing a touch of sophistication to a stylish bedroom, this light box effortlessly elevates any space it inhabits.

Customization is another feature that sets the Light Box apart. Available in a range of colors, you can choose a shade that perfectly complements your decor or makes a bold statement. Whether you prefer a timeless white, a dramatic black, or a playful pastel, the lightbox allows you to express your unique style while adding a touch of elegance to your space.
In today’s world, finding sustainable solutions is more important than ever. Sometimes, the best innovations come from rethinking old ideas. Working together is key in this effort, combining knowledge and resources to create products that meet today’s challenges. This is exactly what Norwegian studio Snøhetta and lighting brand Ateljé Lyktan have done with their new office lamp, the Superdupertube, setting a new standard for sustainable lighting.
This partnership isn’t entirely new. It began with The 7th Room, a stunning cabin in the treetops of northern Sweden, where Snøhetta and Ateljé Lyktan first teamed up to create unique lighting solutions. The Superdupertube uses materials that reflect Snøhetta’s commitment to regenerative design. The project started years ago with a team of architects and designers working with Ateljé Lyktan to find locally sourced materials with a smaller environmental impact. Hemp was chosen for its strong fibers and low environmental impact, cutting CO2 emissions by over 50% compared to traditional aluminum.
Working with suppliers Bergman’s and Trifilon, Snøhetta and Ateljé Lyktan explored sustainable materials. After testing pine cones and coffee grounds, they discovered hemp fiber. Superdupertube is the first project to use hemp-based material in an extrusion process. Hemp provided the necessary strength, and when mixed with sugarcane starch, it met the functional needs while staying true to the commitment to sustainability. Hemp grows abundantly and doesn’t deplete the soil.
Designed as a versatile office lamp, Superdupertube comes in four lengths and features a diagonal louver to reduce glare.
Superdupertube is a modern take on Ateljé Lyktan’s Supertube, a 1970s office light made from extruded aluminum. The simple design of the original Supertube caught Snøhetta’s attention, sparking a mission to update it for today’s ecological needs. After experimenting with various materials, they chose a composite of Dutch hemp and sugarcane-derived PLA bioplastic. This new material, free from fossil fuels, is sustainable and strong, making it a perfect alternative to aluminum.
The suspended light is a blend of craftsmanship and environmental consciousness. Its main body is created through extrusion, with injection-molded louvers and side covers giving it an organic look. Even the electric cables are wrapped in linen fabric, creating a natural feel. The lamp can be composted or recycled into pellets for future lamps, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.
The natural color of hemp means each lamp is unique, with variations in color and light temperature. The LED strips emit a warm tone through the material, available in two color temperatures: 4000K (adjusted to 3800K ambient light) and 3000K (adjusted to 2800K ambient light). Using PLA material from sugarcane and reinforced with hemp fibers, the lamp’s environmental footprint is significantly reduced.
Superdupertube uses various production techniques, including injection-molded louvers and side covers. Dimmable LED strips, encased within twisted louvers, offer visual appeal and practical lighting, making it ideal for modern offices. Available in four lengths, each lamp features an organic beige hue with natural patterns from the hemp composite, adding individuality to every piece.
Recognizing that most of a lamp’s environmental impact occurs during use, Snøhetta and Ateljé Lyktan focused on efficiency, incorporating smart lighting systems to reduce energy consumption and extend the lamp’s lifespan. The design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, with components sliding into place without glue and minimal screws, making it easy to replace parts and update lighting technology.
When I see pillars of light from the sky, my mind immediately goes to alien abductions, thanks to sci-fi movies and shows that show people being kidnapped by aliens on their ships. But light pillars are actually beautiful optical phenomenon that some are privileged to see in real life and not scary at all. To see it replicated in every day objects is pretty cool.
Designer: O_1 Design
The Fila Night Mood Light by Auge Light takes its inspiration from light pillars to give an atmospheric and aesthetic lamp. Using a magnetic suction filament, they’re able to somehow connect “the sky and the ground” at least inside the lamp. They also use a magnetic suction ball to represent the “floating heart of a human being”.
Basically you have a linear pillar of light shining inside this structure. You can control the brightness on three levels, with level 1 being 10%, level 2 at 50%, and if you want the full effect, you get 100% in level 3. It uses magnetic absorption LED to give you the lighting magic. You can also shake it to degauss (remove unwanted magnetism) the filament and invert the lamp body magnetic suction so the filament becomes vertical.
The mood lamp does look pretty especially when placed in dark areas as it adds a certain futuristic look to your space. I still feel like a UFO will pluck me from my house though especially as the top suction part looks like the entrance to an alien spaceship.
