Light & Design Innovation in Modern Lamps

Description

Lux Lumière & Design Thames & Hudson 2011, 318 pp., 18x24 cm, hardbound. The official abandonment of incandescent bulbs and their replacement with energy-efficient light sources opened remarkable possibilities for designers. The diversity of materials now usable near bulbs that no longer emit heat has created lamps unimaginable just years ago. Designers also seek solutions to warm the light from these new bulbs—whether compact fluorescents or LEDs—and their creations in this field demonstrate remarkable ingenuity. This book, presenting over two hundred of the most beautiful and fascinating lamps, reveals the immense creativity of contemporary designers. Fine copy.
