Kaleidoscope Lamp by Dodo Arslan

Share |

Remember those kaleidoscopes you had as a child? The lovely patterns formed in sections when you turned the end cap. Mirrors just multiply the coloured pieces. So it is with the Kaleidoscope Lamp by Italian based designer, Dodo Arslan. This table lamp only needs three light bulbs and the clever pyramidal shape makes it seem like a whole cluster of lights. Think of the energy you will save!

The lamp uses mirrored and semi-reflecting glass with gold accented metal finishings. It is designed for table tops but as you can see, it looks just as good on the floor. The Kaleidoscope Lamp is available from Axo Light.

“Parts of a Rainbow” Chairs

Share |

Rainbows after a drizzle are lovely to look at. So it is with Christian Flindt’s “Parts of a Rainbow” chairs for they are sure to brighten up living spaces with their multitude of hues. His chairs are unusual for they stack sideways unlike most chairs which are added from the top. It is perhaps the first side-stacking chair in the world. The innovative design means you can stack several sideways to form a colourful bench. In fact, by stacking them in a group, the full rainbow effect is achieved which is why Flindt called it “Parts of a Rainbow!” This prototype design won Flindt the 2005 Design Award at the Copenhagen Furniture Fair.
