Like its namesake, the Blackbird Lamp balances itself on two thin feet. This minimalist light was designed by Berlin-based Hayo Gebauer and is crafted from a single sheet of steel. The LED light source is hidden underneath the neck, resulting in a soft, downward-facing glow, and is placed alongside a motion sensor that lets you turn it on and off by waving your hand or dim it by holding your hand in place.
If we went by first impressions alone, the Orrery Lamp would stand out as a beautiful example of minimal design paired with practical functionality. And if you go one step further, it's even more impressive, as the Orrery is an abstract representation of the Earth and Moon orbiting our host star. Made using custom, hand-blown glass, machined brass, and a walnut wood base, the Orrery Lamp can also be adjusted using the companion website to correspond perfectly with the actual moment, now or in the future. Available as a table lamp or floor lamp in midnight blue or brass and walnut.
Combing the simplistic design of an archers bow with the functionality of a wall lamp, the Bo Light is art with a purpose. A curved piece of solid oak houses the light source, shining the LED bulbs toward the wall and creating a soft glow. The two ends are connected by an industrial bronze braided wire, which also acts as touch controls for the light. Available in a natural oak and ebony finish, the lamp can easily strike up a conversation in a living area or provide a subtle brightness at your bedside.
This is not the type of pendant lighting you get at the local hardware or big box home store. The stainless steel pendant is sourced in the Midwest and powder coated, then added to Conway Electric's signature braided cloth cord with the addition of an in-line rocker switch for easy usage. It can be plugged directly in to a three-prong outlet or hardwired for more serious integrations. A standard medium base allows for bulbs, including LED, of up to 70 watts. With 12-feet of cord to play with, add it to the workshop to instantly have the most sophisticated and moveable lighting source to find tools or put extra light on a project. Available in solid black or ACDC white and a two-tone cord.
Perched atop four legs made from hand-picked, vertical grain walnut, the Henry Floor Lamp makes a handsome addition to any mid-century-inspired decor. The cross bar is crafted from solid brass, and the hidden power cord eliminates any visual distractions. It stands over five and a half feet tall when topped with its USA-made linen shade, and accepts dimmable bulbs up to 150W.
You might not always have batteries on hand during an emergency, but you probably won't have trouble coming up with salt and water. And that's all you need to power this Saltwater Powered LED Lantern. It can be used for up to 80 hours, as the ingredients work with oxygen and a magnesium power bar to create the positive and negative electrodes needed to generate electricity. Just pour salt and water into the top of the light and plan for the apocalypse, or maybe just the power going out during dinner.
Proper lighting is a key component of any room. Hyde Integrated Lighting lets you get it right without realizing there are any lights there at all. This intelligent system integrates LED light strips and/or numerals right into the 12mm thick wall panels. Wireless control lets you adjust brightness, set schedules, and change the lights' positions, and a tongue and groove system makes it easy to both install and move the panels around as needed. Available in three looks to match nearly any decor: raw concrete, white marble, or yellow pine.

Elegantly simple, the Andrew Neyer Crane Light is a clever lighting solution that takes up as much or as little space as you want. The bulb is held out by a 180-degree pivoting arm, held in place by tension from the cord, and can be moved up or down by feeding the cable through the arm. Place it against the wall to reclaim space, then swing it out when you need extra lighting. Available in white, black, or gray, with arms ranging from two to six feet in length.
A light bulb that's both functional and beautiful. With its jeweler-facetted gold center, the Plumen 003 LED Light Bulb is a fixture on its own. A downward facing light illuminates as much as a standard 60 watt to brighten the surface below, while the central gold structure releases outward a soft candle-like glow. Powered with the efficiency of an LED, this bulb will keep your space lit for up to 10,000 hours.
Inspired by New York City appeal in the late 1930's, this Menu Tribeca Reade Table Lamp is part of a series of lamps, pendants, and chandeliers. Søren Rose Studio scoured the U.S. for vintage lamps and parts and used their findings to come up with these timeless designs. Available in brass, brushed steel, black, or white, it's certain to add an extra layer of minimalist class wherever it's plugged in.
Don't let the term chandelier fool you. Although it may technically fit into the category, the Workstead Industrial Chandelier replaces the frills of a traditional chandelier with a clean, mechanical design. A combination of repurposed industrial joints, vintage brass Hubbell sockets, and exposed bulbs shape its industrial aesthetic, while the three cast iron arms can be rearranged into your ideal shape. The fixture can be hung anywhere from three to five feet, giving it the versatility to adapt to any interior.
Made from a pair of headlights from a retired 747-400, the Boeing Headlight Lamp is just as much of a sculptural piece as it is a light source. The aluminum body evokes the same aerodynamic lines as the iconic jumbo jet and is supported by a certificate of authenticity. The structure has been reinforced to stand upright and sits on a custom-fabricated steel base. All of the electrical components have been updated and the two halogen sealed-beam headlights have been covered in a film for a more subtle glow to your industrial den or home office.

All the benefits of LED lighting, none of the style-cramping design. Appropriately named for an Edison-style light, the Alva LED Pendant Light uses a downward-firing LED to light the detailed "filaments" that are laser-etched in the optic crystal bulb, giving it a classic look. The 14.5 watt light delivers up to 290 lumens of illumination, can be adjusted from 3,000K to 2,200K depending on your needs and preferences, and is completely dimmable. Available in two finishes, it arrives with six feet of cuttable cloth cord.
Bright, tough, and a snap to install, Garage Series LED fixtures from Haiku Home are built to provide the mission-critical light your toughest spaces require. Each one produces more light than 16 60-watt incandescent bulbs, and its high-efficiency LEDs are rated to last for 150,000 hours, or more than 130 years of three-hour-a-day use. Its body is crafted from a single piece of anodized aluminum for added durability, and every fixture comes prewired for simple, single-person installation. Add in a motion sensor and it'll even turn on and off automatically. It comes with a seven-year warranty, and can be secured to the ceiling or hung on the wall with an adjustable mount.

Inspired by the silhouette of French aerialist Philippe Petit — he of Man on Wire fame — the Apparatus Highwire Light strikes a balancing act between art and functionality. It comes in both single and tandem models, and in both small and large varieties, with leather-wrapped "balance beams" measuring 35" and 64", respectively. Finished to order and assembled by hand in New York.
When we went looking for an un-briefcase that wasn't like the other mini-suitcase-looking situations already out there, we got ahold of the brains behind San Diego-headquartered Bradley Mountain. The result is the Uncrate edition Courier Briefcase. Crafted from water-resistant waxed canvas and English bridle leather, the collaboration bag comes in our signature all-black combo and is finished with hand-set brass rivets. A minimal interior fits up to a 15" laptop, several journals or books, and all the memos and recordings that you'll need for your day as Special Counsel. It's also got three exterior pockets, a reinforced leather bottom, and comes with a removable shoulder strap. Measures 18" wide x 12" high x 3.75" deep. Ships free within 24 hours.
Vague Watch Co.'s Grey Fade Submariner gets its name from the dark grey bezel insert, meant to mimic the sought-after "ghost bezel" effect found on the faded black bezels of well-worn vintage sport watches. It's built with an automatic movement, meaning you'll never have to change a battery, as the watch is powered by the movement of your arm during wear. With a stainless steel case, a screw-down back, and a 100-meter depth rating, the watch is also rugged enough to handle some serious time in the water. On top of that, it ships with a sharp military-inspired case, watch tool, and a classic nylon NATO strap to switch out with the stainless oyster band.
Yes, we know — technically, the candle is going to put off light on its own. But there's a big difference between the luminance of a votive and the light sources inside the Lumir C Candle-Powered LED Lamp. This highly-portable light uses the heat energy from small candles to power an LED light, giving you a reliable source of light no matter where you are. It's available in two varieties: Mood, which uses an array of four LEDs and a diffuser for ambient light, and Spot, which has a single, aimable LED for tasks like reading or working.
As we move towards smarter lighting solutions, it's becoming obvious that the lights of the future will let us pick their hue on-demand. The Fluxo Smart Lamp is a pendant-style light that lets you change both the color of your light and it's direction. Thanks to a ring-shaped cluster of LEDs, it can send its light in any direction you choose. It also learns your routines and adjusts the lighting based on your preferences, and turns itself on and off using built-in presence detection sensors. Which makes it not just smarter than a normal LED bulb, but better looking, too.
Far more useful than a simple night light, these Ellum Motion Sensing Lights can light your way in the dark without the need for an open outlet — and look great doing it. They use a pair of sensors to detect movement in the dark, turning on their powerful LEDs for 20 seconds when needed. Machined from solid domestic hardwood, they mount easily using 3M adhesive or screws, run on AA batteries, and are available in 22" and 6" variants with White Oak or Black Walnut bodies.
Our bodies used to stay in sync with nature, waking and sleeping in accordance with the sun. But we don't live outside anymore. The Ario Smart Lamp automatically adjusts both its color and direction throughout the day, mimicking natural light to help restore your circadian rhythm and improve both your health and productivity. It uses a Wi-Fi connection to choose optimal lighting based on the day, season, and local weather patterns, while also adjusting to your own personalized schedule, and its LEDs ensure that it will last for years to come.

Finding an ideal table lamp normally comes down to two things: its looks, and its light placement. The Normann Copenhagen Acrobat Lamp does well on both counts. Created by French designer Marc Venot, it uses a magnetic connection to the base to let you place the light where you want it, from a downward-facing ambient pose to a more upright, direct stance. Its minimal design is both passive and curious, and it's available in four different shades to match your decor.
Bringing to mind antler lights, tree boughs, and other rustic lighting and decorations, the Branch Chandelier is a clean alternative for minimalist decors. With as many as 28 lighting elements, the Margus Triibmann design uses LED technology, and is made from aluminum with a powder coat finish and a galvanized steel support. In addition, the individual elements are posable, making this a more versatile solution than your standard chandelier.
No artificial lighting can compete with the actual sun. That's why the Lucy Sunlight Bender doesn't create light. Instead, it uses an adaptive mirror and a series of intelligent sensors to track the sun throughout the day, keeping it focused on the same spot — just like a lamp. And since it's always in the sun, it can run solely off solar power, setting you free from the constraints of your home's existing wiring.
Exposed filament, Edison-style bulbs have been a popular choice with architects and interior designers for some time now. The Bare Light extends this design trend to the next most logical place: the light socket itself. Suspended by a cloth cord, this fixture features a glass socket that exposes the light's inner workings and allows refracted light to illuminate the space above. Crafted by expert glass blowers in Los Angeles; bulb not included.
It may be inspired by the sea, but the Bollard Oil Lamp is plenty fit for use on land. It's named after the tie-off posts on docks, and its teak base shares their stout characteristics. The vented stainless steel lid is joined to the integrated handle, the glass jar is ribbed to create a more interesting light pattern than you'd see from a typical hurricane, and the sleek design is meant to blend in to nearly any environment, whether it be placed on the ground, a tabletop, or suspended in the air. Made in Thailand, it burns readily-available lamp oil.
You need light. You want music. Unfortunately, your space only has a solitary light fitting. Not to worry — the Sony LED Light Bulb Speaker can take care of both. As the name says, this multi-function gadget fits into the same fittings as ordinary bulbs, providing up to 360-lumens of app-controlled lighting, as well as an integrated 2 Watt speaker system that's ideal for filling small spaces. It connects with your phone via Bluetooth, and also has a remote that can be paired over NFC, but as with many gadgets this unusual, there's no word yet on a US release.
Combining magnetic levitation with wireless power transmission tech dating back to Nikola Tesla, the Flyte Levitating Light is modern day magic masquerading as illumination. Its shatterproof LED bulb floats and rotates slowly in the air above a sustainably-sourced wood base, which plugs into a standard power outlet and lets you turn the light on and off with a single touch. As an added bonus, the base doubles as a wireless charging station, so it serves a purpose even when you don't need the light on.
Take control of your home's lighting with the Smfx Smart Bulb. Available with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity, this LED-based bulb lets you adjust the brightness, color, or power status right from your iOS or Android device. It can reproduce 16 million different colors, is good for 40,000 hours of use, and, in case you're in the mood to party, boasts a Disco Mode that changes the light along with the music.

Don't bother looking for the power button on the Brick Lamp. You won't find one. This simple LED lighting tool is designed to turn on whenever you pick it up and to rest on either of its four outer wides, letting you direct the light where you need it. It's powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for up to 5 hours and recharges via USB, and comes in a variety of finishes, including wood, cast concrete, and anodized aluminum.
Sporting a design from Konstantin Grcic, the May Day Utlity Light is just as handy as the utility lights you can buy at the local hardware store. It just looks a lot better. It's crafted from injection-molded opaline polypropylene, feature a hooked handle that doubles as a cord winder, takes standard 60 Watt A19 bulbs, and sports a waterproof push button power switch built into the shade for easy use. Made in Italy and available in black or orange.
