Updating a lighting classic

One of the big winners of last summer's Italian Compasso d'Oro design awards competition was the Hope suspension lamp, a chandelier type light manufactured by leading Italian lighting company Luceplan. The Hope lamp is a modern update of the classic crystal chandelier, and it's one of a few recent re-interpretations of the classic overhead light with its multiple light sources or reflections.Batteries, either bestledstriplight or disposable, are often used to power electric bicycle lights.

Instead of traditional crystal glass, Luceplan's Hope lamp is composed of a series of Fresnel magnifying lenses pressed into thin polycarbonate plastic,Shop online for ledbulbs023.

The petals attach to a bent metal core and when Hope's single compact fluorescent (CFL) or halogen light source is lit, the light reflects off the magnifying petals for a dazzling effect.

Two years in development, Hope was designed by Luceplan co-founder Paolo Rizzatto and emerging Argentinian-born designer Francisco Gomez Paz. An initial injection moulded design for Hope was scrapped after Rizzatto and Gomez Paz didn't like the results of a production prototype.

Another modern chandelier with suggestions of space and time is the Nebula, a 2007 suspension light by 32 year old Dutch designer Joris Laarman. The Nebula is manufactured by leading Milan-based lighting company Flos.

Nebula's diffuser is a cluster of 10 blown white glass cones of varying shapes, suggesting – like the Hope lamp – a burst of energy frozen in time. The Italian lamp's origin isn't nearly as exciting – the design followed Laarman's discovery of various lampshades at a flea market. Bundled together, they suggested the configuration that became the Nebula lamp.
