Slideshow

Lighting is the most overlooked aspect of interior design. We tend to worry about it only after we’ve settled on, say, furnishings and paint color. And yet it has a disproportionate effect on our rooms. There are signs, however, that lighting design is coming into its own. The International Contemporary Furniture Fair, which ended Tuesday in New York, seemed to have more lighting than in previous years, and lighting of a startling diversity. Click on the slideshow below for a sampling of this year’s lighting designs

Cascade Modern Chandelier by Michelle Brand

As the popular movement now “To think Green” is progressing, the designers again and again create something interesting using the used plastic bottles. British eco-designer Michelle Brand is making his lighting fixtures out of the bottom parts of clear bottles.
The American showroom Vivre recently displayed one of his creations “Cascade” made of 572 bottle bottoms.
The parts are connected with an invisible string. The esthetic effect is reached due to a long band of plastic flowers coming from the ceiling to the floor.
