Forget Meatloaf and his paradise by the dashboard light. Check out Paradise by the ceiling light, a modern light fixture by Ango, a design company based out of Thailand.
With a hand-finished stainless steel frame, Paradise acquires its interesting look from layers of silk cocoons. Silk cocoons are made in the glands within the silkworm’s body. Typically the cocoons are boiled before being used, but Ango uses the unprocessed cocoons in their natural color for Paradise.
To create the actual fixture, the silk cocoons are attached to thin wires which are then attached to the hand-soldered stainless steel frame, layer upon layer until the full shape is created.
What do you think about this chic ceiling light? Check out Paradise and other cool light fixtures at Ango’s website.

I love this tea-themed pendant lamp collection from Original BTC — it takes the phrase tea lights to a whole new level. This whimsical, quirky collection of teacup and teapot-shaped pendants and table lights were inspired by the 1930’s tableware that was once made in Original BTC’s Stoke-on-Trent factory. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

All the rain on the East Coast the past few days is causing me to long for the days of summer so recently behind us. Coming across the X-Code from Yoann Designs didn’t make things any better!
But they are pretty cool. The X’s on the X-Code are bendable areas of the furniture that allow it to be folded in to a upright chair, a flat bench or a convenient table. With alternating slats, the X-Code folds into itself and locks sturdily into position. It also folds up easily for storage during these winter months.
Depending on your preference, the X-Code comes in a variety of colors, shown above. Which would you pick?

Artist and designer Reima Honkasalo created this sculptural light from recycled and disposed material called Light Mincer. The only part that is new is actually the light bulb. Reima explains that with this design he was asking “What is the lamp producing — except light? Well, need for more electricity…!” © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Art , Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

Dik Scheepers graduated in July from the Academie Beeldende Kunsten Maatsricht , where he created a project called Pieces of Π (Pi) and is made from porcelain and ceramic glaze. I love the imperfections and the fact that each piece looks like folded paper.

Sunday, I took some time to check out the Hanging Around exhibit of permanent collection of modern and contemporary lighting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art . Here are a few of my favorites from the exhibition: First, I love the Lüster Chandelier, a tongue-in-cheek 2D LED chandelier by German Ingo Maurer. Also by Ingo Maurer is this 2003 lamp called “Wo bist du, Edison?” (“Where Are You, Edison?”).
