1. Paperclip Lamp [link]
When is a paperclip not a paperclip? When it?s a LED lamp by Teague, of course. As the ubiquitous paperclip lends itself to being picked up and bent, the designers of this lamp, Ben Collette and David Wykes, applied the same tactile approach to the structure of the lamp. See the lamp flat on a table, why not bend it into shape? Transformation after the jump. UPDATE: The Paperclip Lamp is a prototype. Teague is currently seeking manufacturing partners. Judging from the email and comments, there’s a ready market for Paperclip…

6. Lull Flower Lamp Concept [link]
Lull is a lamp that opens and closes like a flower. As a bud during sunrise it stretches its petals to bloom. It opens carefully and dims up to give a powerful morning light. In the evening LULL acts the opposite. When it’s time to go to bed, the flower slowly closes while the light is dimming down and it turns into a bud again.
7. Steampunk Lamp by Michael Pusateri [link]
Made of an old wooden cigar box, two 60 watt bulbs, a handful of copper wire…From author: “I used an old wooden cigar box, a few ceramic bulb mounts, a rheostat and few other odds and ends. I did get a little fancy and paint the ceramic mounts with textured copper paint. The wiring was trivial, but I got a chance to use an Underwriter’s Knot. There’s a lot more steampunk I could have thrown at it, but I like the simplicity of this. I used two 60 watt bulbs, so it can get quite bright. It’s much more pleasant at a lower light level.”
8. KOZO Lamps by Design2009 [link]

The Peel Off Light by Sehwan Oh enables each person to take home a mass produced lamp that can be customized by peeling off the pre-scored tiles.

12. IVY, The Organic Lamp Shade [link]
?IVY is a home source of light made from LED?s. The Lamp consists of modules. Connecting them we decide the form and size of the lamp. The base of the lamp is a flowerpot, in which we are planting plants like ivy. The light is penetrating through the leaves of the plant, creating interesting lighting effects and the unique mood in the interior. the design is our attempt to combine nature with technology, two seemingly unfamiliar worlds.?
13. Twist Together Lamp Is Hackerish [link]
The Twist Together Lamp encourages you to design your own lamp. Individual blocks connect together and illuminate with a simple twist. Many creations are possible from a single set of 4 blocks, but you can also connect multiple sets together (up to 6 on a single power supply) expanding your options indefinitely.
Aside from the interactivity, the lamp(s) has an enticing glow adding a warm, modern ambience to any room. It?s energy efficient too - LEDs provide a safe, low-voltage and long lasting light source while consuming less power than a standard night light.
14. Architectural Mood Lighting [link]
The Penta lamp is probably one of the more striking designs I?ve seen. In a time when most modern lamps follow the molded poly road, this one uses structure to dynamically change its shape and ambient lighting. Its shape suggest rotary motion but the seemingly complex design is actually quite simple. Flat packed and made of recycled components, the Penta was designed by Luca Casarotto.
