Light IQ: We design, supply and install innovative and inspirational lighting schemes.

The Tulip

The Tulip table light joins the extensive range of exceptionally beautiful lights in seemingly impossible designs created by Within4Walls. The bouquet collection features flower shaped laser sintered lights which take their shape from organic forms that although unknown feel familiar.

The lights are created by using ultra high-tech Digital manufacturing and are built with successive layers of powder bound by a lazer beam, creating a self supporting structure.

Translating a beautiful object from our visible world into a work of art.

Young at heart

Thomes de Lussac caught our eye at 100% Design with his fun and quirky light fittings.

Originally we thought the Bony Pirate wall light and Rocket table light would be wonderful for a boy's bedroom but on reflection we decided we loved the Moonwalk Cosmonauts and would like them for ourselves. They look great individually or walking along shelves in groups.

Thomas has been designing since 1999 and concentrates on a minimalist style. Influenced by the 1930s he finds a lot of his inspiration comes from observing life, the environment and the lines in nature.

The Moonwalk Cosmonaut lamp and Pirate Wall light are made in lacquered steel, cut by lazer and folded, they are available in three colours Orange, White and Black. The rocket ship is made of satin plexiglass with a blown glass nose and comes in orange and violet.

The Urchin - playful and tactile

The Urchin soft light is irresistible, a conversation piece inviting hours of playful interaction. The Urchin will morph through a multitude of forms as it is rotated through and around its own centre with your hands. The elastic movement and shifting organic form are similar to the wonderful sea creatures that flow and undulate under water.

The softlight is part of Molos's innovative award winning collection and will include an undulating overhead canopy called 'cloud soft'. The series is an exploration to provide animate, ambient diffusion for the energy efficient light sources of compact fluorescents and LEDs. Made of flexible, durable honeycomb weave craft paper, the fold-up lanterns embody Molo's versatile design philosophy and come in a variety of shapes and sizes which work well alone or in groups.

Alone

The coat hanger in your hallway is probably the last thing you would think of investing in. However when the improvement is substantial, the change is definitely worth making.

The "Alone" light hangers come from Daniele Trebbi for Palluco. Available in black, white and red, the circular hangers emit a soft wall light that casts a shadow on the articles hanging on them, creating interesting light patterns and a positive alternative to the coat hook. The clear-cut linear design is enhanced at the rear by an opal finish ring that fills with light creating a bright halo.

Alone can be used in various ways – on its own, in a row or randomly scattered, it can also create a functional pathway of light in the narrowest or dimmest of hallways.

Making Light in New York

This September Ingo Maurer is celebrating 10 years in New York. For forty years he has been taking risks as an innovator, manufacturer and inspired dreamer and is one of the most celebrated designers in the world.

Fascinated by the 'magical and mystical' properties of light he is among the first designers to experiment with LEDs with his modern inventive designs, as in the Luster Light, which is a sketch of a chandelier printed on glass with tiny LED lights that illuminate the whole thing. A beautiful and inspiring re-working of the traditional chandelier.

Moving away from the tradition of lighting on walls, ceilings or floors the lighting of furniture is a fun and individual way of making a statement in your home and Ingo Maurer does it beautifully with tables and benches lit with small LED lights giving a magical quality to the furniture.
