The Moment lamp takes inspiration from a somewhat dark yet entirely hopeful place. Its deep symbolism is a reminder of war – specifically, the moment in which an explosion occurs and bright light is emitted in all directions. Designed to rest on and overhang from any edged surface, it’s at once a stunning light source, sculptural accent, and reminder of the importance of peace.

Central London. Bustling. Central New York. Crowded. Central Mumbai. Congested. Central Tokyo… surprisingly calming. Residence K is a home designed for a space in the heart of Tokyo. Surprisingly, this house looks calm and inviting, as opposed to any house in the epicenter of any other city. Residence K has an unbelievably relaxing aura for its location, being an ode to Japan’s love for minimalism. I don’t think I’ve seen these many straight lines on my comb! <3

A chandelier inside-out is still a chandelier. It’s also more attractive looking. The “Birth” chandelier looks like steampunk meets Scandinavian. The bulbs face inwards, making it look pristine, giving it a naked, angelic aura. The wires go around the outside of the device, definitely making the chandelier look different in a way that almost redefines lighting design.
Now the dilemma is: Do I continuously stare at this beautiful thing? Or do I value my eyesight and not directly look into the light?
