Gala event shines a light on international designers September 18

Vancouver, Canada, 2018-09-18 - 

 Celebrating its fifth annual event, L A M P has announced its 2018 international lighting design winners and will present the awards on Tuesday, September 18 in Vancouver, Canada. The gala event honours the best in established, emerging and student designers from around the globe and kicks off the Offsite Programming for IDS Vancouver.

 

“BALANCE was a clever subject and we were very impressed by the diversity of lights,” says Ingo Maurer. “LED is certainly a big improvement in our daily technical life, but it is very important not to miss the following element of light: The essence of light. Congratulations to the winners. Keep on going and think of the light that pleases its core and our souls!”

Similarly, BOLLA is able to constantly equilibrate power and temperature to guarantee the desired lifetime of its LED. - Photo credit: LAMP

CONCEPT: Driftwood is inspired by pristine scenery within nature. It emulates a piece of wood floating on a calm lake, barely breaking the surface and floating without disturbances. The warm diffused light mimics the refraction of light within water, bouncing off the rocky shore and illuminating the floating wood. It is both literally and figuratively “balanced”, as the wooden disc is suspended in the air as if floating on water. The ambient lighting from Driftwood provides the room with a warm, comforting atmosphere. - Photo credit: LAMP

CONCEPT:  When turned on, the ARCH lamp lights up a small portion at the top, symbolizing the “keystone” of an archway, which provides balance and strength to the entire structure. From there, the user can adjust the brightness of the lamp using a touch sensitive control strip along the back of the lamp. As the user slides their hand down the side of the lamp, the light travels down the tube with their touch, creating an archway of light.  - Photo credit: LAMP
