Lightings : Tord Boontje Garland

Lightings is something I love ever since I was in Poly. During the period, I even part-take a competition with my CCA team by designing a lamp out of recycle materials. It did won us first prize in the tertiary catagory. Anyway, the competition did made us research a bit more on how a lampshade functions. it covers the glare of the bulb & redirects lights around. In this post, i would like to share a really detailed lamp design by Tord Boontje.

If you like floral imprints you can't miss this master. He had done plenty of projects with lightings, furnitures, tablewares & recently a HP laptop.

This light particularly in my interest is the Garland for Artecnica. Its comes flat in a metal sheet, but when pull out is a continues vine with branch out blooms of leaf & flowers. This long vine is then twirl around a bulb to create a shade.

It also project nice floral shadows if you place them near a wall.

The best place to get this is from ebay. Sometimes people do sell this at quite a good price. Its retailed around USD$86 for shade only & you can fetch one @ USD$30 if you are lucky.

All you need then is just a Cord from IKEA & you are good to go!
