Fabio Fornasier makes unique and exquisite chandeliers out of hand blown glass.

Each one is a different color and shape. They almost resemble swans in the throes of ecstasy…

Or deep sea creatures…

I am in the process of making it look like the 80’s vomited all over my living room for a pre-30th birthday celebration tomorrow. I figured it’s a nice inner child indulgence for this milestone of adulthood.
Thematically, Philippe Boulet’s LED chairs would be appropriate (didn’t everything just seem to have a neon glow back then?).

Actually, they are kind of a Victorian-80’s fusion design. And while I’d typically be opposed to having my tiny frame illuminated by a piece of furniture, I appreciate the novelty.
I would love to see the constellation of lights the 91 LED endowed arms of this chandelier cast off.

It reminds me slightly of those flashlights with the clear strands coming out of the end that I used to play with as a child (anyone know what they were called?)…only far more beautiful. I truly adore novel lighting concepts, especially when they evoke natural phenomena.

Via Yanko Design.
I cannot believe I never thought to do this. I’ve been around so many X-rays, and envisioned countless hypothetical lighting designs. I’m shocked that I haven’t created one of these.

These particular lamps are the work of Sture Pallarp (the website contains nothing but contact info…and a fun image to dress up in various glasses with the click of a mouse).

From Design Zen.
I can pretty much guarantee that if I get married, my wedding will be slightly eccentric (in a classy and meaningful way, of course).
One thing I’ve always wanted to do is design and/or make my own dress. But here’s one thing I never envisioned…a light up dress!

Although I wouldn’t want to glow this brightly on my trip down the aisle, I’m now wondering if a much more subtle LED network could be included in the pattern of the dress. Something that resembles faint, twinkling stars in a night sky.
Lumen Shadow Projectors make me regret my lack of wall space.

Lumen is a series of acid-etched, stainless steel, oil lamp shadow projectors designed by Brooklyn-based artist and product inventor Adam Frank.

How beautiful these must look with all the lights out as the flame gently flickers.
