Boi and Leda Desk Lamps by David Weeks Studio
For a mid-century desk lamp with contemporary details, David Weeks Studio introduces the pop-design inspired Boi Desk Lamp and Leda Desk Lamp. While the Boi is more traditional in it’s shape, the carefully detailed cut openings on the shade do give it a bit of distinction. The Leda, while crafted out of the same materials (laser cut, powder-coated bases and nickel plated frames), its shape is a bit more futuristic, making it a mash-up of modern design with a futuristic silhouette.

Tati Lamp
Italian architect Ferruccio Laviani’s latest project for furniture manufacturer Kartell, the ‘Tati’ lamp, is unique in its design and shape. Greatly resembling a mini flat-screen television, the Tati lamp is made out of a fluorescent circlet which is contained inside the TV-like box, and comes in four different variations, which set different moods. Its base, unlike in conventional table and floor lamps, is a neat glassy cuboid supporting the lamp, with the wiring in place. Along with his other creation designed for Kartell, the ‘Bloom’ lamp, Laviani will be exhibiting his designs for public viewing at Milan Design Week 2009.
