A wild and fun concept for a home where you’re looking to mix up the lighting scheme, designers Helen Evans and Heiko Hansen have developed Light Brix, a modular light system for any space. Activated by touch, Light Brix can be arranged in a number of sequences to create a dynamic atmosphere with soft white light. The images they provided were interestingly arranged on wall surfaces, but I think that Light Brix may have another calling as floor accents in bedrooms or interior walkways and hallways. Imagine lighting a space with a low ceiling with Light Brix by reaching up to turn on a sequence of lighting, or image integrating Light Brix creatively into a children’s room (particularly kids who enjoy interactive toys). Just think about it.
The designers at Shige Hasegawa Design in Tokyo have developed this interesting, nature-inspired table and lamp set which is designed to focus in on a sense of tranquility and inspiration through simplicity. ‘Hana’ actually means flower in Japanese, which is pretty clearly the inspiration for these products: first, the Hana table, inspired by origami, is constructed from five flower pedal-shaped plywood legs which collectively hold up the glass table top without the use of additional screws or bolts.
Second, those with a green thumb and a good sense of style will fall in love with this unassuming, graceful lamp design. The charming, fabric-covered lamp design, Hana Stretch, is subtle and stylish and would make a great addition to a simplistic atmosphere in dire need of creative mood lighting.

NEWS TIPS, Whether you go to bed with a book or just loves the idea of sporting the perfect table lamp for some lovely nights in ambient light, it’s definitely a must that bring out the beauty of the room and adds fullness to it. However, picking the right table lamp though, is quite confusing at times. With the millions varieties you get all dressed up so gorgeously, it’s inherent that you could ignore the functionality aspect, altogether. So here is a guide to buying the right table lamp and getting the best of both worlds.
1 The appropriate size
Your lamp has to complement the table it stands on, rather than stick out as a complete oddity. That’s exactly why you need to pick one that fits in perfectly and blends well with the dimensions of the space around. If the table is narrow and thin, then pick a stick lamp and if it is large and broad then experiment with the larger umbrella-styled lamps.
2 Match your interiors
Your interiors would already sport a certain theme or style, so the lamp has to go with the flow. If you have a classic and traditional-styled interior, then go for wood or metal as the base. The modern look can be achieved using more plastic and resin materials. The color and the design must go with the mood of the room and the rest of the accessories.
3 The shades
Ensure that the width of the lower brim is not too broad as this would direct most of the light just downwards onto the table and that the lower brim width will define the light distribution pattern. Try getting shades that you can swap to offer variety and ensure that they are made of fine quality material.
4 The length of the table lamp
If it’s too short, then your shoulder will block all the light. Sounds like a minor detail, but ignore it at your own peril. If you are reading a book at night, you might want to read it by resting on your pillow comfortably rather than sitting at the table, isn’t it? If the map is too long, then it will distribute light to greater distance and might disturb the sleep of someone else. All the more reason why you should get the length right!
5 The switch and even LED lighting
Now that electronics have developed in leaps and bounds, today you can have a traditional chain-styled switch, a socket at the base or even a remote if you are too lazy to even move your arm. Oh and you want to stay “green” you can even have a LED light bulb instead of the traditional bulb for better efficiency.
Buying a table lamp is both a matter of style and substance. Before you bring it home, check for the maximum wattage as you cannot use a bulb that exceeds the maximum mark. Follow these simple tips and the next time you go out to buy a table lamp you will sure spend the nights with better lighting…
