The Burlesque Suspension Lamp By JVLT.




The Burlesque Suspension lamp by Joe Velluto of JVLT may strike you as a very odd choice for a lighting fixture. But then again, imagine it in a clothing boutique, fashion showroom, above a runway, in a giant walk-in closet, hanging in a fabric store, the right restaurant or master bedroom and it takes on a whole new appeal.



Inspired by the act of disrobing and tossing one's clothes about, the fixture is a mix of shirts, skirts and pants composed of fine silk and cotton fabrics over a methacrylate shade. Made and packed in Italy, the clothes that create the lamp's silhouette are accented with Swarovski crystal buttons, adding some sparkle to the very unusual lighting fixture which exudes a sort of backlit diffused illumination.





The Burlesque 3 lamp shown above is available from P&V Lighting, contact them for purchase information.

BIRD IN HAND, A Ceiling Light Inspired By The Art Of Hand Shadows






This beautiful and unusual lamp by J.P.Meulendijks is based on, and is a tribute to, the universal art of hand shadows and hand puppetry. Playing with light and hand shadows was and is a centuries old past time long before electric light was invented.



"BIRD IN HAND" plays with this concept: All of the hands are positioned to look like a flock of birds, flying out in circles. The shadows cast on the wall looks like birds. This results in a very expressive, dynamic and striking looking lamp, with layers of humor and poetry hidden in the design.
