What's Cool in the Lighting World?

Niels Datema has designed a lamp made entirely of graphite, which illuminates when its two parts connect.  He took advantage of graphite's electrical conductivity to alleviate the need for a switch to turn his Graphlights on or off.  Instead, the base and shade act as positive and negative terminals, which form a complete circuit when they touch and illuminate the bulb.  Graphite, more commonly used for pencil leads, is made up of a specific stable arrangement of carbon atoms that allows electricity to pass through easily.  Read more about Datema's genius product here

Daily Inspiration: A pair of skyscrapers by Milan office Boeri Studio, features as many trees as could be planted in a hectare of forest. The studio came up with the concept of Bosco Verticale, or Vertical Forest, as a way to combine high-density residential development with tree planting in city centers. Two towers, measuring 80 and 112 meters, are set to open later this year and are already home to 900 trees.

Daily Inspiration:

Architect Daniel Libeskind has designed a chandelier of hand-blown crystal glass shards for Czech brand Lasvit. The Ice chandelier by Daniel Libeskind is made up of clear glass cells blown into angular moulds, creating icicle-like forms. These pieces are arranged in a cluster and suspended from a reflective triangular plate. The glass sections can be reconfigured into different shapes. When hung below a light source, the light shines through the glass shafts and illuminates the edges.
