| Breaking Bulbs: 3D-Printed Lamps Seem to Shatter Posted: 29 Mar 2014 08:00 AM PDT The moment that a light bulb shatters upon impact with a hard surface is frozen in time with ‘Breaking Bulbs,’ a series of 3D-printed lamps by Swedish company Gässling. Made of a durable, lightweight nylon material, the series of three lamps includes three variations representing different ways of destroying glass bulbs. ‘Oops, I dropped the bulb’ is a table or floor lamp shattered into shards after hitting a surface from above, while ‘wrecking bulb’ is a cracked wall lamp. “Bullet meet bulb’ is a pendant lamp reminiscent of high-speed bullet photograph, wherein the split-second that a bullet crashes through an object is captured on camera. “I wanted to challenge myself and create object which would not be possible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods,” says designer Joakim Christoffersson. “The goal with the Breaking Bulbs project was to explore the 3D printing technology and find out how far I could push the technology. It’s a project which stands somewhere between art and design.” Each bulb is available in a range of colors, powered by a 6W warm LED. They’re available for €399 (about $548) at the Gässling shop.

| 3 Functions, 2 Pieces, 1 Super Transforming Furniture Hero Posted: 28 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT Multifunctional furniture is often some of the most inventive and fun furniture, and the Superbambi is no exception. The Superbambi from Scoope Design is composed of two pieces: a white base, and a bright orange piece that slots into different positions as needed. The orange piece is where the Superbambi gets its name; it looks a bit like a superhero’s cape extending from the white base. In one position, it is a simple chair. Remove the orange piece and the Superbambi becomes an end table or a child’s writing desk. The orange piece, placed on its wide end, can be used as a coat rack or bedside butler. When the orange piece is slotted into the bottom set of holes with its “feet” on the ground, Superbambi is a step stool that lets little ones extend their reach. This little transforming wonder, with its rearranging parts and multiple uses, is a terrific example of simple yet elegant design. No special tools or knowledge are needed to switch functions; the two pieces and the pre-cut holes are self-explanatory and lend the Superbambi a sense of almost toy-like fun.
