Tom Dixon's Bulb: rethinking of led aesthetic

'BULB is an energy efficient oversized light bulb designed in reaction to the phasing-out of the incandescent bulb and the unattractive aesthetic of most CFL replacements. The quick start T5 bulb is unique to Tom Dixon and the standard thread means that it can be used with almost any light fitting. Bulb can be used individually or as part of one of three new chandelier frames.'

Pallucco: new dresses for Fortuny Giudecca

'Just like two soulmates who meet up again after years apart, the chemistry is at work again between the lamp designed by Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo in 1907 and the luxurious fabrics produced by Fortuny, the world renowned textile factory he established on the island of Giudecca in Venice nearly a century ago.

The lampshade is embellished with the legendary Fortuny fabrics, still produced in the same factory, on the same machines, using the same secret process and techniques handed down from generation to generation.
The creations are innovative, yet traditional, and the diffuser is available in three different extraordinary versions, chosen to complement the lamp’s tripod stand: Fortuny Papiro Ebony & White for the black lacquered structure, Fiori Caramel & White for the white structure and Onde Ivory & Gold for the titanium coloured structure.
And these are just the first three combinations: the customization options are endless and magic is guaranteed every time, if the Fortuny fabric range and imagination are anything to go by. '
