The Balloon X LAMP by Haoshi Design brings you back to your childhood, when holding a balloon was such a joy… though temporary, as the balloon would sometimes float away or fade the next day. Haoshi’s Balloon lamp is a reminder of these sweet memories, except it won’t fade or disappear.

Marte Haverkamp graduated last year from School of the Arts Utrecht, Netherlands and her graduation project, Shadow Construction. She explains, “I have been fascinated by shadows for a long time and I wanted to do something with that. By capturing shadows of different objects and then materializing them, I came onto new objects. Objects with a high level of recognition that make you look twice.” Now, she’s interested in exploring these conceptual objects further, giving them more practical function

UK workshop Kirv exhibited its amazing powder-coated stainless steel line of outdoor furniture pieces at the London Design Festival last month. Designed by metalsmith Alex Moore, they’re meant to be as much works of vibrant sculpture as functional seating. The pieces, which are handmade to order in Sussex, have been ergonomically honed, so are quite comfortable. They can be left outdoors year round, and require very little maintenance.

The Louxor lamp reminds me of those bug zappers, except this one attracts design enthusiasts, not bugs. Designed by Paris-based designers Léa Padovani & Sébastien Kieffer of Pool , the light resembles a modern 3D kite that one might fly in the TRON world… Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook . © 2011 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments

Deryn Relph is a British textile designer with a penchant for color and a mean set of upholstery skills – we’ve already featured her work and we were so smitten we wanted to find out how she chooses her vibrant fabrics and makes her psychedelic designs. In keeping with the eco-mantra “reduce, re-use, recycle” Relph re-invents discarded furniture and lampshades, transforming them into contemporary treasures with fibers and yarns sourced predominantly from factory surplus stocks. She shares the steps involved in creating the Renee chair from her Retro Rainbow Rejuvenation collection in this month’s Deconstruction

During the 2011 London Design Festival, Object & Line launched the Moss Table, an experimental table that uses plants to generate energy on a micro level. Based on the research of Cambridge University designers and scientists exploring how moss and algae can be used to power lights and other small scale domestic products, the moss table may one day be able to power your beside electronics, such as lamps or alarm clocks. What would you use plants to power?

100% Design has been going since 1994, almost a decade longer than the wider London Design Festival , which launched in 2003. But it’s as contemporary as ever with exhibitors selected by a panel of design experts to ensure quality and relevance. It’s primarily a trade show, but is open to the public on the last day. It’s a more mainstream event than the East London contingent, but offers a glimpse of the coming year’s trends and a chance to spot design stars of the future. Here are my top trends for 2012… I mentioned the trend for metal furniture, which almost looks as if it’s been drawn in 3d, in my post on Tent London , and this outdoor furniture from Kirv is another example.
