This a great lighting piece. Modern and smart.

This flat-packed, cleverly named chandelier from Mioculture marks an advance in designer/client collaboration: Its leaflike shades of powder-coated, laser-cut steel in white, silver or electric lemon may be folded up or down according to the owner’s whim and need. Accepts a 20-watt fluorescent globe. Hardwiring kits sold separately. (via Elements of Living)

I bet this puppy would throw some cool shadows.

you're a star, baby, a STAR! so you most definitely need a starry lamp shining from your ceiling

Jaime Salm took a thin piece of steel and said to himself "How can I design a wicked-nice chandelier while wasting as little of this material as possible". What resulted was the Bendant Lamp, a product so inspiring you get to design it yourself.

With little wasted material and little wasted energy, Jaime has created something environmentally friendly that is made right here in the USA.

You can buy the hardwiring kit or you can just throw up a hook and let it hang from the ceiling by the cord (the on/off switch is 48 inches from the plug) (via Follow Function)
