Stripped down: Desk lamp has lunar grace

A curvaceous LED strip is secured in two magnetic metal bases that can be moved to change the angle of the light. The LED lights, which resemble little stars, shine light indirectly on the task at hand. The Fluida lamp is the winner of the Young & Design Award 2013.

The minimalist design by Marco de Santi and Alessandro Paoletti is a good example of the themes identified in our Re-enlightenment Rising macrotrend. For more examples of design inspired by the artful properties of science and space, read our Lunar Grace design direction.
