A Lamp that Appears to Float

Shade, by industrial designer Paul Cocksedge

in Lighting

This Shade lamp is by British industrial designer Paul Cocksedge.

The Japanese paper shade, which appears to float, is actually hung from the ceiling using "capillary-thin wires;" the canister on the floor focuses LED light up into the shade.

"Shade started as a purely practical problem: how to rid ourselves of the clutter usually connected to light fittings," Cocksedge writes. "The solution turned out to be quite mysterious and dreamlike. It utilises floor and ceiling both, but appears unconnected to either."

The lamp was once in production by Flos, but no longer appears on their website; Cocksedge is selling them through his own site, for £850 (USD $1,082).
