At the 2008 Milan Design Week there were some cool items and I felt obliged to show you just a few from Milan. Today, I present you the Spiral Island Collection designed by David Trubridge, one of the most renowned green designers. The Island consists of lamps which float above the colorful seatings.

Old school or novelty? Which do you prefer? Both? No problem, here comes a lamp that combines them therefore there shouldn’t be any problem lighting your way with it. Christine Birkhoven mixed old with the new and came up with this lamp design called “Good Night Eileen” which is based on energy-efficient LEDs powered through magnetic induction. Pretty cool, huh? Well, maybe not… but the LED lighting surely is!

Everybody in the world hates tangled wires but this didn’t stop South Korean designer Kwangho Lee to make art from these ugly wires. He designed light installations based on tangled wires by studying them, but I don’t think that these lamps will change my mind. I will not totally blame them because we have to respect the work of the artist, but check on them and I guess you will agree with me, unless you love tangled wires.

This is got to be one of most bizzare lamp designs that I have ever seen. The lamp is called MYBrain and it was designed by Alexander Lervik and it actually represents the brain of the author. He took a MRI scan of his brain at the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden and he transformed it into a lamp with the help of a 3D printer. If you liked Lervik’s product you might wanna check out for more at his official website.

OLEDs (organic LEDs) use a new way of producing light that requires a considerably reduced amount of energy. Manufacturing costs are pretty high, for which reason nobody expected them to be integrated into lamps and be released to the market at this stage.OSRAM announced Early Future, a lamp that uses 10 distinct OLED tiles with 132 X 33 mm dimensions each.
They haven’t made public details about buying them or how much they would cost, but I’m not convinced they even expect to sell too many. As the name says, it is a little too Early to make such a lamp for regular people, as we have better options at this time.

Disappointed by the lack of light emitted by ‘New Museum’ from New York City, designer Sherwood Forlee decided to brighten up the structure. He created a miniature of it, placed a light bulb inside, and there you have it. It’s a new lamp.
The building was originally designed by Mihoko Ouchi, and, apart of its inclination that reminds of the Leaning Tower in Pisa, it just leaves the sensation that New York simply expects more from its newest buildings.

Jaren Goh’s new concept of lamps gives an unconventional choice of lighting a room for those sick of seeing the same things every day. Lampost uses non-symmetrical lines for defining the way light beams are distributed along a room.
It has interchangeable shades that makes it very versatile and is intended for large spaces. The image resembles with the one of mushrooms springing out for the sunlight and would be an attraction for the visitors.

I am not sure what most of you will think about this lamp designed by Christian Maas. The light bulbs of the lamp are perfusion-like and it reminds me of hospitals therefore I am not sure that I want to remember the days when I was sick. Mr. Maas called its project “Lichtinfusion” and his intention was to convert a regular object into an “outstanding contemporary design piece”.
Except the light bulbs, I really can’t see another defect - the cables flow beautifully to the ground and it surely will give the creeps to your neighbors.
