The What Watt? Chandelier by Tim Fishlock

London based designer Tim Fishlock created a memorial to the incandescent lightbulb - What Watt?

It’s a spherical chandelier made up of 1243 suspended bulbs of various shape and size, illuminated by a single low-energy light source. By 2011, all forms of incandescent light bulb will have been phased out in favour of greener alternatives. What Watt? marks the passing of a design that has remained relatively unchanged since its invention 130 years ago.

Making Your Own String Lamp

Being enamored with all things vintage, I have always been smitten on string lamps. Each time I saw one at an antique mall, like the ones pictured here at Uncommon Objects, I would think to myself one day I am going to figure out how to make these. Apparently this was the week.

Hemp pendant lamps

Uber-talent Heika DeHart strikes again. These lamps she made are genius. Plus, don’t you just love how they look with her wallpaper? She writes: “I fell in love with West Elm’s abaca pendent lamp a few years ago but, as usual, my taste was more expensive than my wallet could support. However, I was sure that I could copy them at a fraction of the cost.” I love the natural look of the hemp, but you could also use white or bright-colored string.

Lionfish Pendant Light

While we have seen many pendant light featuring flowery or swirl shape, this lionfish pendant light at least show us the different. Designed by Melbourne-based lighting company, Alex Earl, the lionfish pendant light is a unique shade emitting a luminescence from the intriguing form of a deep-sea creature.
