Lampshade Designs! - December 12, 2009




I must be getting desperate if I'm actually looking at lampshade design, but they can really be pretty awesome. Most people are probably used to the umbrella shaped lamp design with some nice colors and shapes on them or whatever, but there's a whole world of them out there. For example, the one on the top is a lily shaped lampshade that doesn't just shoot the light out of the top and bottom, but rather muffles it to drown it out. With different colored materials this can look really nice and can bring a room together. The way it's designed gives it depth so you can see each pedal. The second picture is the Materialise.MGX, and is a collapsible lampshade. It unfolds and is placed right over the top of the light, giving it almost the same feel as the lily. The neat part is the folding feature, making it much easier to move than those pain in the butt normal ones. It's little features like that that make a good design great.
