Inspire Yourself With New Modern Lighting

by Patrick Mahoney

Winter becomes an uplifting time of the year when you walk into a room that is surrounded by mists of warm, soothing light. The wide array of options for modern lighting on the market today can bring a sense of mellifluous relaxation to your living room or an enhanced brilliance to your work area.

No longer do we need to be plagued with plain, bright bulbed lamps of yesteryear. Prestigious designers and artists are blazing the way into a new society with their creativity. One such artist is Simon Karkov and his hanging lamp that brings any room alive with its unique presence. Guaranteed to be a winner in any room, this organic, floating work of art brings a simple aura of pleasing light to any area needing a touch of drama. A designer for the Normann Copenhagen Companies in Denmark, this well-known artist uses simplicity and taste in everything he does. The Karkov hanging lamp can be utilized as a single ceiling fixture or as a grouping for significant exposure.

Venezuelan industrial designer, Pablo Pardo, has a flair for creating illusions out of simple materials that are breathtaking. Pablo's Bel'Occhio acts as both a movable spotlight and a table lamp that spreads light gracefully around a room. The design is modern, artistic and easily stands alone as a mystifying piece of work.

Showcasing collectibles and personal treasures has never been easier than when using the Pablo light bench in a hallway or corner to achieve radience. Also fashionable as a resting bench, the white acrylic top resting on two clear ends, softly glows from within, the light source completely hidden.

Cubes have been around for years but the light box by Gus brings a change of elegance and style to adorn any living area or bedroom. Made of molded plastic, the box contains a regular light bulb that omits a four-sided light for use in small spaces. Strong enough to use as an ottoman, the illuminating square can also be utilized as an end table, lamp or hallway light.

New ideas abound with fresh artists and designers as our trend for lighting needs increase and expand. Light is no longer limited to the 100-watt light bulb sitting coldly on a lamp stem and with today's focus on green ideas, it seems the ideas are limitless in the area of modern lighting. Explore the exciting choices of today to see what has dramatically changed in the last few years. It could bring a whole new light on home living.
