Night lights have never gotten this classy with Artecnica’s
penchant for exquisitely designed lighting fixtures.
The Icarus Pendant Lamp by Artecnica was likely inspired by the mythological
character of the same name, the boy whose father gave him wings so he could
fly. The Icarus Pendant is a multi-layered extruded polyester pendant light,
and the design’s resemblance to a bird’s wing is a testament to human
aspiration to flight. It was designed by Tord Boontje, who intended to
“[explore the realms of nature”, with the lamp.
It’s a beautiful lamp that banks a lot on the poetic simplicity of its
design. The Icarus Lamp is made entirely
of white, and (quite aptly) weighs very little. It runs on a maximum lamp
rating of 60 watts, and a conical safety protector for extra durability.
No less artistic is the Midsummer Light Pendant Lamp in White, also by Artecnica.
The Midsummer Light Pendant Lamp is made of two layers of a
special kind of paper called Tyvek, which was especially reinforced to make it
resistant to moisture. The pendant lamp lends a softness to any nursery, not to
mention gives an undeniable sense of style as well. The Midsummer Light Pendant
Lamp runs on a maximum lamp rating of 60
watts. Its Tyvek material also makes it a bit more impervious to normal wear
and tear than most lamps. It is resistant to constant changes in temperature,
as well as water.
Should you ever need to clean it, don’t chuck the lamp into
the washer with the rest of the laundry. It can be handwashed, though extra
care needs to be taken.
While the model featured here is in white, it is also
available in four colors: Lilac Fading, Red Fading, Green/Yellow, and
White/White. The white is a good pick for minimalists, and holds a certain
level of sophistication as well.
