As the name, "48" suggests the lights use 48 discarded wire hangers to create a very modern shape an almost eye-wink reminiscent to the traditional lampshade without the cover. The design comes in both a standing and hanging version, "48 Hanger" and "48 Stand".

A truly unique way to re-use those once thought of as trash hangers by creating something very beautiful!

Ok so everyone has a secret passion for fashion if they admit it or not!

Twice named "British Designer of the Year", Hussein Chalayan is an internationally regarded fashion designer renowned for his architectural tailoring and progressive use of new technology. His spring 2008 collection Readings was inspired by themes of ancient sun worship and the contemporary phenomenon of celebrity, illustrated by pieces that literally emanate light. The extending laser beams represent the relationship between audience and icon. Waldemeyer's engineering genius made this challenging vision possible.

The dresses themselves are highly structured, creating bold silhouettes from which the laser beams radiate. They are embellished with Swarovski crystals that either deflect the lasers, or take in their light, depending on the angle of the beam. The effect is hauntingly beautiful; where lasers shine directly into Swarovski crystals, they resemble glowing embers; yet where they are deflected, the laser beams project into the surrounding space evoking phantasmagorical new-age sun godesses.
The result is one of the most dynamic examples of a new fusion, where fashion and design meet, each enhancing the other.

Well you have to admit you definitely would catch everyone's attention wearing this dress!!

Recently at Light IQ, we pushed the barriers of convention and used a projector to light up a room with........art!!!

Artscape Gallery started filming the first video painting in 2001. Video paintings are non-narrative; there is no dialogue, no sound. The camera is static and there is no subsequent editing or manipulation of the material.

Through the video painting, usually between five and twenty minutes in length, the artist leads us into a way of seeing which has no determinable meaning but which carries a unique emotional hue. Video paintings challenge us to let go of the endless search for closure or understanding and approach instead what it is to experience the world.

Why not let yourself unwind after a tough days work in the office by returning home to your own relaxing paradise of art!
