stefan diez: rope trick lamp for wrong for hay + new order system for hay

Stefan Diez presented two new designs at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2014: the 'Rope Trick' lamp for Wrong for Hay and the 'New Order' shelving system for Hay. The 'Rope Trick' lamp is a floor lamp that integrates LED technology into a design based on a flexible rope mechanism. This design focuses on an intuitive method for light manipulation, allowing the lamp head to slide along the rope to direct light to various positions. The lamp, produced by Wrong for Hay—a collaboration between Hay from Copenhagen and Sebastian Wrong from London—features a dimmable switch in its handle for easy control with one hand. The innovative aspect of the 'Rope Trick' lamp lies in its use of a specially designed plastic extrusion profile. This profile is strategically slitted to provide both the necessary strength and elasticity, allowing the rope to maintain its form and support the sliding lamp head, referencing the historical 'Indian rope trick' illusion. The LED chip is encased within a heat sink that also functions as the light-emitting source. This unit is designed for optimal efficiency in managing the heat generated by the LED, ensuring high-quality light output. A plastic lens covers the heat sink, diffusing the light evenly and preventing glare. The 'Rope Trick' lamp is versatile, serving as a reading light next to a bed, chair, or table, and capable of casting light upwards onto walls or ceilings when the head is in its highest position. In addition to the lamp, Diez introduced the 'New Order' shelving system for Hay. This system is characterized by a basic grid structure made from aluminum profiles, available in various colors, cast, and extruded forms. The shelving units come with boards in two different heights: 80mm trays suitable for organizing smaller or irregular items, and regular shelves ideal for books and files. The design allows for customization with the addition of wooden screens and doors, which can be attached without tools using nearly invisible polypropylene fittings and hinges. This modularity ensures flexibility in configuration. The 'New Order' system is designed to be an economically practical solution for a wide range of applications, suitable for both office and domestic environments. The article highlights the innovative approach in both products, focusing on functional design, material efficiency, and user-centric features. The 'Rope Trick' lamp’s design process emphasized eliminating complex mechanical elements in favor of an intuitive, flexible user experience, while the 'New Order' system offers a versatile and adaptable storage solution. #StefanDiez #WrongForHay #Hay #RopeTrickLamp #NewOrderSystem #LEDTechnology #ModularFurniture #StockholmFurnitureFair #ProductDesign #StefanDiez #WrongForHay #Hay #RopeTrickLamp #NewOrderSystem #LEDTechnology #ModularFurniture #StockholmFurnitureFair #ProductDesign

IKEA’s sell-out STRÅLA star lamp has received a bold update
The IKEA STRÅLA star lamps, a popular item in Christmas decor, have been updated for 2025 with new patterns and a red and gold colorway. These lamps, known for their Scandi-style XL seven-pointed star shape, are often quick to sell out. IKEA experts provide guidance on how to style these decorations, which are affordable at £5 but appear more expensive due to their elegant design. Scandi paper stars have been a prominent Christmas trend, and the IKEA STRÅLA is recognized as a trendsetter in this category. Maria O'Brian, Creative Leader for the STRÅLA collection, explains that the 2025 designs were created in collaboration with Evelina Kroon and Katie Kirk to combine traditional holiday elements with modern touches. The seven-pointed star symbolizes hope and the festive season, and when lit, it provides a warm and comforting illumination, ideal for the darker, colder months. Additionally, these stars align with the oversized decoration trend, making an immediate and striking statement with minimal effort. For styling, Maria O'Brian suggests placing the stars above a dining table to enhance a festive tablescape, in an entryway to welcome guests, or on a mantelpiece to add sparkle to a living room. Traditionally, Scandinavian paper stars are displayed in windows. When aiming for an authentic look, the principle of 'lagom,' meaning 'just the right amount,' should be embraced. The star is a bold, sculptural piece that benefits from being balanced with simplicity. Key styling tips include playing with scale and height by combining different available sizes to create visual depth, especially in window displays. Visual texture is also important; the delicate cut-outs and patterns of the STRÅLA stars are enhanced when lit, casting intriguing shadows. Pairing them with natural materials like solid wood furniture, woven textiles, or a simple greenery garland helps create an earthy aesthetic. The stars are impactful even in daylight, so styling them against a clean, neutral background, such as a white or pale gray wall, allows their geometric shape to provide a strong design contrast before they are illuminated in the evening. Given their popularity and rapid sales, alternative affordable options are also presented for those who may miss out on specific IKEA styles. #IKEA #ChristmasDecor #ScandiStyle #HomeDecor #SeasonalDecorations #Lighting #InteriorDesignTrends #BudgetDecorating

jeff da-yu shi: LED bamboo lighting
Taiwanese designer Jeff Dah-Yue Shi, through his Dragonfly Design Center, has developed innovative lighting solutions that integrate bamboo and dimmable LEDs. His work, particularly the 'LED-bamboo' wall, ceiling, and floor luminaire, earned him the 2011 Gold Pin Design Mark award from the Taiwan Design Center. Shi presented these designs and discussed the versatile properties of bamboo fibers at Hong Kong's Business of Design Week (BODW). His approach highlights the aesthetic and functional potential of sustainable materials in contemporary design. The core innovation of the 'LED-bamboo' luminaire lies in its modular rhombus forms, each incorporating an LED light source. These LEDs are strategically placed at the base of each rhombus, covered by tempered glass and faced with a thin bamboo veneer. This construction allows the bamboo to appear as a seamless part of the surface when the light is off, only revealing its illuminated presence when activated. The design achieves a harmonious integration of natural materials with modern technology, creating a subtle yet impactful lighting effect. The modularity of the rhombus forms, combined with varying patterns and three levels of color intensity, generates an optical illusion of three-dimensionality. This feature allows the luminaire to function not only as a lighting system but also as a decorative and structural element within a space. The versatility of the 'LED-bamboo' system makes it suitable for diverse environments, ranging from luxurious clubs and corporate offices to residential settings, demonstrating its adaptability to different aesthetic and functional requirements. In addition to the modular luminaire, Jeff Dah-Yue Shi also designed the bamboo tube LED lamp, a smaller, more accessible lighting system. This cylindrical lamp prioritizes simplicity in manufacturing and reduced material consumption. It features a thin bamboo veneer strategically placed over perforations, which diffuses the light from the internal LED bulb to emit a warmer glow. The tubing of this lamp is constructed from rolled bamboo sheets, a method that ensures its durability and prevents cracking. A distinctive feature of the bamboo tube LED lamp is its magnetic base. This allows the lamp to be easily attached to various surfaces, including walls and ceilings, creating an impression of defying gravity. The magnetic attachment is robust enough to permit users to adjust the lamp's position by pushing or pulling it along the surface, offering flexibility in directing light and adapting to changing spatial needs. Both designs underscore Shi's commitment to combining traditional materials with innovative technology to create functional and aesthetically pleasing products. #LEDLighting #BambooDesign #SustainableMaterials #ProductDesign #DimmableLights #InteriorLighting #TaiwaneseDesign #ModularDesign
