Lindsey Adelman Studio - Birds + Bees
We're familiar with the facts of life, but the Birds + Bees table light was new to us. Containing a "female" and a "male" low-watt incandescent bulb, a handblown glass bubble 13 inches across is offered either as-is or embellished by glass tiles and/or gold foil. The hardware can be white-enameled—unless you prefer 24-karat gold plate, oil-rubbed bronze, or satin-nickel plate. 718-954-6572; lindseyadelman.com. circle 429

Artemide - Solar Tree
What could be a better indication of a prolific career than a bulging portfolio? A nickname. After nearly 30 years of free-flowing futurism—dreamed up on behalf of entities from Bernhardt Design to British Airways—Ross Lovegrove has earned the handle Captain Organic. While his recent lighting for Artemide may epitomize that alias more than any other work to date, two of the designs are also, ironically, among the most technologically complex efforts in his repertoire.
Aiming to reconcile the "most advanced technologies with the beautification of our collective environment," Lovegrove says, he teamed up with Sharp Solar on Solar Tree: an 18-foot-high bouquet of curved steel stalks, each topped by a plastic flower containing an LED bulb and a photovoltaic cell. During the day, the cells generate energy to recharge a battery pack that sits next to the blocky base of reinforced concrete; at dusk, the LEDs automatically illuminate. Solar Tree was first installed outside Vienna's Museum für Angewandte Kunst/Gegenwartskunst and later traveled to the streets of Frankfurt and Milan. A modified version appeared at the city's Salone Internazionale del Mobile last spring.
The Mercury series of pendant fixtures developed as a meditation on hydrodynamics and reflectivity. Each chandelier comprises two kinds of shiny pastilles, like supersize mercury drops. Die-cast aluminum ones house an R7 halogen source; injection-molded thermoplastic ones are purely reflectors, multiplying the light, the others, and their surroundings. Introduced this year at Frankfurt's Light + Building, the Mercury Cluster packs the pastilles into a tight colony. 631-694-9292; artemide.us. circle 412
Anta Leuchten - Bob
With the diverse range of lighting options from this company, there'll be no cursing the darkness. The Bob table lamp by Jörg Zeidler joins a squared-off stem to a disk-shape shade—both in aluminum finished in polished nickel or a matte black powder coat—and accepts a 50-watt low-voltage or 9-watt fluorescent bulb. With Hadi Teherani's Tubic table lamp and sconce, a 25-watt halopin bulb—the smallest halogen available—runs along the top of a glass rectangle framed in matte aluminum. And in the Cara pendant fixture by Andreas Ostwald, 70 LEDs are attached to pentagonal pieces of silvery polycarbonate to create a mobile that changes continually. 49-40-839-1037; anta.de. circle 436

Urban Electric Co. - Savoy
Since Thomas Edison's invention of the carbon filament bulb in 1879, artificial lighting has been as instrumental to interior designers as pigment to a painter.

Foscarini - Wagashi Wires
Thanks to a dye-sublimation printing process, a synthetic fashion fabric, typically used for ski suits, achieves the optical illusion that is Wagashi Wires.

Both versions are available in three sizes. 39-041-595-3811; foscarini.com. circle 425
