Floating Table Lamps are Awesome

by twistedsifter

The Silhouette and Eclipse were designed by Angela Jansen, a Design Academy Eindhoven graduate, and developed by Ger Jansen, a mechanical and electrical engineer. Together, they run the company Light Light. The Light Light series creates an incredible visual conversation piece. It is like an optical illusion, yet one that is kind to the eyes and easy on the mind. Once you know how it works, it is still fascinating to behold. Both lamps are available at their online store, but such awesomeness does not come cheap as either model will set you back about $1,300 USD. Full information and pictures below. Enjoy!

Silhouette Floating Lamp by Light Light

DESIGN:
Angela Jansen has reinvented the standard lamp. The design evokes memories of old fashioned lamps, but when you see the floating part, you realize this is designed for the future.

APPEARANCE:
The lamp consists out of a handcrafted wooden base with a high glossy black finish. Attached is a stylish black fabric covered power cable. The conical shaped lampshade is manufactured in matt black fabric with a pearl white inner sid furnishing. The light flows through the openings of the mirror which covers the lower part of the lampshade.

TECHNOLOGY:
What makes this lamp floating is the integrated levitation technology. It consist out of electromagnetic components and a sophisticated control system. Next to the fact that they employ the very latest LED technology, the lamp is low in power consumption too. With a touch of your fingertip, the lamp can be dimmed to the intensity you require.

SPECIFICATIONS:
The fabric covered power cord is 2.00 meters long (6,5 feet) and is connected to the universal power adaptor with a power cable with the length of 1.85 meters (6 feet). The standard universal power adaptor has a EU two pins power plug, but you can order a US power adapter.
Light intensity: 300 Lux
Power consumption: 3W standby (only levitation on), 15W when the LEDs are fully on.

Eclipse Floating Lamp by Light Light

ECLIPSE: FLOATING LAMP
The resulting play between transparency and reflection makes the floating and glowing effect even more mesmerising.

DESIGN:
The Eclipse is designed with the focus on modernism. It consists of a hand-crafted glass foot which seems to sprout from the bottom, supporting the straight sided lampshade. The smooth curving shape gives the lamp a highly elegant composure.

APPEARANCE:
The lamp has a transparent glass base. Thus you can see the fabric covered power cord running inside. The drum shaped lampshade can be featured in matt black or reflective silver finishes. Both have a pearl white inner side furnishing. The lower part of the lampshade is topped with a mirror, through its openings the light flows outside. At the bottom of the lower part, there’s the fingertip light switch.
