TOOLS: Inspirational Lamp images

This design for a humidifier is awesome! I'd put one of these in my home. The design is so simple, aesthetically pleasing, and best of all -- it's functional!

This humidifier is awesome for two reasons.

The first is that it uses no electricity: Instead, water is drawn up through the wood and evaporated into the air. According to the designers — the Japanese firm Okada — this process evaporates water six times faster than if you left in in a glass. At that pace, it’d be quite effective.

LED Destroys Incandescent Forever
I’m not sayin this lamp is going to kill incandescent lamps altogether, but it’s gonna slay some of them I bet, for sure. It’s called the “Allure” and it’s a pretty amazing floor lamp. It looks like a fantastic set of tentacles. Multiple light sources from the same lamp – that’s amazing! Amazing! And not only that, but while the lamp base is meant to stay in place on the ground, the lamp post rotates. Excellent!

The best part of this lamp is the remote. Maybe. Probably that it looks fabulous. But lemme tell you about the remote anyway, how about that? The remote’s got a power switch, a top light activator, a low light activator, and an RGB button. What do you do with that? You turn on all the different colors! At the base of the lamp is the source of the colors.

Beautiful!

Foscarini has introduced a new lamp to their family: the Allegretto, a smaller version of their Allegro lamp. Allegretto comes in three profile and metal color combinations: Vivace (brown), Assai (gold), and Ritmico (black).

With a look that’s tailored by man and inspired by nature, the contemporary Tulip table lamp by Quasar adds an unusual focal point to any space. There’s no doubt this quirky lamp design will “illuminate” you to the world of the whimsical. Modern stainless steel bases don “flower-bud” shades. When closed, each lampshade appears as an illuminated sphere with a soft glow. Five “petals” forming the shade open with zippers, which are prominently displayed on the exterior of the lamps in a playful twist. These lamps work especially well in lounge spaces, living rooms and libraries where they’ll be a certain conversation piece, and come in coordinating table lamp and floor lamp designs. Check out these unusual lamps at Quasar.
