The latest lighting design from award-winning ISM Objects has been created with flexibility in mind. The stylish Loft wall lamp can transform the feel and function of a room with a gentle swing from its wall-mounted pivot.

Melbourne-based ISM Objects was formed in 1990 by Celina Clarke and Simon Christopher, who share a passion for enduring, unique lighting designs. A commitment to local manufacturing ensures that all products are crafted at its factory in the Melbourne suburb of Mentone. Some 75% of ISM Objects’ designs are created in-house and the rest are conceived in collaboration with other leading Australian designers. ISM Objects’ outstanding designs have also received international acclaim through exhibitions across the globe.

The Loft Wall Lamp is the latest in ISM Objects’ unique range of lighting designs. Constructed from sturdy steel and spun metal, Loft features a matt black finish with elegant brass elements. Simple adjustments allow you to direct the light in the direction you require to instantly transform the ambiance of a room.

We fell in love with these beautiful lights from Hugh Altschwager, a sixth generation farming son from South Australia’s Limestone Coast whose upbringing saw him splitting his spare time between the ocean and the workshop.

Working under the brand Inkster Maken, Hugh’s lighting products are created using turned South Australian limestone and a variety of timbers. All products are designed and hand crafted by Hugh in Melbourne.

Custom designs can also be developed for the individual project. For further information visit:

Introducing the all-new Josh & Jenna range of designer lamps, a collaboration between Beacon Lighting and the former Block contestants. 

As two-time stars of the Block (and now brand ambassadors for Beacon Lighting) Josh & Jenna are experts at using lamps as an easy, affordable way to update a room with the latest trends.

The first releases in the exclusive Josh & Jenna range capture their love of transforming raw materials such as copper, cork and concrete into contemporary pieces that are right on trend.

Check out the new Josh & Jenna range at Beacon Lighting stores or online.

Kicking off Globelight’s 2014 program is the ‘River’ installation by James Tapscott.

River is an evolution of previous wind based works that seek to engage our understanding of a space in a different way, using a different sensory tool. The work is comprised of custom made weather proof and light-weight light bars tethered to tree branches through a specially designed rigging system enabling them to hang in perfect unity. The effect in the wind is such that the lights bars oscillate and flow like a river.

The actual construct is merely a medium for the site to express itself, rather than my own compulsions, and the art resides in the experience of the viewer as they watch the oscillating movement of the light, understanding the wind from the trees’ point of view.

River is best viewed on a windy evening, access to the site after hours is available Monday-Thursday until 9pm. Until May 25th. Incinerator Arts Complex - 180 Holmes Rd, Moonee Ponds.

It also marks the beginning of Globelight’s 2014 program. For details about Globelight go to www.globelight.com.au

Melbourne based designer Adam Cornish’s latest product launch is a series of lights made by hand from natural and locally sourced stoneware. 

The Stoneware Lighting range was conceived on a visit to a local artist and is influenced by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which believes there is great beauty in design that is honest and embraces the process in which it was created. 

We love the natural organic form and texture of these pieces. Make sure you call into Corporate Culture to view them for yourself, 680 Elizabeth Street Melbourne. Prices retail from RRP $560.00.  

RMIT Industrial Design students have their Lighting Studio Exhibition titled ‘Switched On’ coming up on Monday 2nd December, 6pm - 9pm at 78 St Kilda Rd, St Kilda. 

The exhibition continues 2nd - 8th December and is open 10am - 4pm. Make sure you call in and see some of their amazing lighting projects.

New from Stephanie Ng are these wonderful Scoop pendant lights. The concept behind Scoop was to create a simplistic form with clean contours that wrap gently around the globe reminiscent of an ice cream cone.

The bright coloured ring pops suggesting different flavours that appeal to various individuals with option to alternate with bright coloured cords. The top of the light is turned hard wood and provides a tactile surface before curving into the metal spun cap that lives right on top of the globe to minimise glare from light shining directly at you. This allows the eye to wander above to appreciate the beauty in the natural element of the design of the wood grains and knots.
