Why choose just one?

Posted on 10/10/2014 by Troy Turner

The Vialattea pendant, designed by Paolo Manganaro for Formabilio, immediately becomes the protagonist of your interior thanks to its unique character… or shall we say, many characters! The unconventional design is actually 4 unlikely shades playfully paired together. Kinda schizophrenic… but totally cool. Get it here!

Thin is In

Posted on 10/10/2014 by Troy Turner

The ITO lamp forms symbiosis between the latest in lighting technology and smart functionality. Its sharp, irregular, geometric aesthetic is formed by a pattern of ultra-thin, almost transparent OLED modules that can be individually controlled via the user’s smartphone. Turn one or all on/off, control brightness and set the mood with a simple press of a button or finger slide. See it in action after the jump!

Petal-like Pendants

Posted on 17/09/2014 by Troy Turner

Folded from a single sheet of aluminum, the GINCO collection of pendant lamps a simplistic yet fun shape and cool neo-retro style. With the seam visible, its unique and sensible construction is made apparent for all to see, and is further highlighted through a single sliver of light shining through. However rigid, the series has a delicate and light aesthetic reminiscent of flower petals and leaves. Get it here!

Poplar Pendants

I am Groot… Pendant

Posted on 06/08/2014 by Conner Flynn

In tribute to The Guardians of the Galaxy, Artist Danica Asurdzic, aka DeeArtist on DeviantArt, created this amazing Groot pendant. It is made of copper wire and gemstones and really captures his likeness perfectly.

For the eyes, she used blue sheen labradorite and for the back she used clear quartz points, orange carnelian and more. There is a place to run the chain through the middle, so it can be flipped and worn on either side without taking it off.

She really nailed the details of his face perfectly. If you haven’t seen The Guardians of the Galaxy movie yet, you are really missing out. Go do that now. You will appreciate this pendant even more.

Star Trek Galileo Shuttlecraft Necklace: NECK-1701-7

Posted on 15/06/2014 by Paul Strauss

While the Starship Enterprise seems to get a disproportionate amount of geek love, I’ve still always been a fan of the good old Galileo Shuttlecraft. In fact, I remember building a model of one when I was a kid. And while I’m not sure that I’m confident enough in my masculinity to ever wear a necklace, lots of Trekkie girls out there will surely want one of these Shuttlecraft necklaces.

The perfect complement to your Starship Enterprise ring, this pendant was designed by the consistently awesome Paul Michael Bierker. Each one is made to order, so you can choose from silver or gold, and then load it up with tiny bejeweled passengers. Paul recommends that you go for the colorful stones starfleet uniform colors shown here, including a couple of redshirts.

Prices range from $395(USD) with synthetic gems, while you can rack up over $1000 if you go for real stones and the 14K white gold version. Either way it’s way cheaper than an actual Shuttlecraft. Ask Scotty to beam you over to Etsy so you can order yours now.

These Water Balloons are for Lighting, Not for Fighting

Posted on 18/12/2013 by Conner Flynn

Water balloon fights are fun and they are a mandatory part of childhood. Adults love to get in on the action too whenever we get the chance. So if you are looking for some fun lighting that has a bit of nostalgia and a playful attitude, check out these water balloon pendant lights.

These unique and playful lights are inspired by water balloons inflating under a faucet. They were designed by Torafu Architects and they were displayed at the IFFT interior design show in Tokyo last month.

They’re not light bulbs in the usual sense, though they do have the shape. Each of these glass bulbs is backlit by an LED which highlights the bubbles and curves in the glass. They look like they emit a nice soft glow.

Too bad you can’t pluck them from their leads and throw them at each other for a light/fight show.

Space Invaders Silver Pendants Drop Down and Invade Your Neckline

Posted on 07/07/2013 by Paul Strauss

Let’s face it. No matter how many times you fire your laser cannon, you’re never getting rid of all of those Space Invaders. Heck, they’ve been around for 35 years, so don’t count on them going anywhere any time soon. So you know how they say “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?” What better way to do that than by wearing a Space Invader around your neck?

These Space Invaders-inspired pendants come from South Africa’s Duke & Dutch Jewellery, and are cast from sterling silver. Each one is inlaid with colorful enamel to bring out the details of said pixelated alien – and so you can color-coordinate your aliens with your outfit.

They sell for $35(USD) each over on Etsy, and you can choose from several different lengths for the accompanying silver chain – so your invader can drop down as much or as little as you’d like it to. They also make a Space Invader ring if you’re into the whole matchy-matchy thing.

Stalactites of Light

Posted on 11/04/2013 by Troy Turner

The Stalasso pendant lamp was inspired by one of nature’s own art forms, the stalactite dripstone. The elegant form captures the essence of the naturally occurring contrast of water as it drips from the tip of the mineral deposit. It’s versatile as a single hanging “drop” of light, an ambience-inspiring cluster, or an expansive arrangement across large spaces.
