Modern Layered Lighting

The M.C.W. Bedside Lamp by Alexandre Boucher Looks Stratified

— March 12, 2014 — Art & Design
The M.C.W. Bedside Lamp doesn't look like a light fixture at all at first glance. Its circular form is sleek and simple, so much so that a light source isn't even evident. That is because the levels expand up and down to reveal strips of light that can be modified depending on what a person wants or needs.

Designed by Alexandre Boucher, an industrial designer based in Paris, France, the M.C.W. Bedside Lamp has a futuristic appearance when it is in use. The stratified light glows sparingly in the dark, providing just enough illumination to ensure that a person isn't completely surrounded by pitch black. The M.C.W. Bedside Lamp is also available in a slew of different color combinations to complement any existing home decor.
Trend Themes
1. Stratified Lighting - There is an opportunity for designers to explore and create unique forms of layered lighting, which adds a futuristic aesthetic to a room and provides a different experience from traditional lighting sources.
2. Customizable Lighting - Personalization is key, and allowing individuals to modify their lighting fixtures to fit their style and needs can increase the appeal and functionality of the product, presenting a wealth of opportunity to industrial designers.
3. Minimalistic Design - Minimalistic designs that exude a modern and sleek look are becoming increasingly popular trends for home decor, and these can be incorporated in lighting products through cleaner lines and simpler forms.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting Industry - By incorporating customizable features and designs with stratified lighting techniques, the lighting industry can create innovative and stylish products that cater to a wider range of customers.
2. Interior Design Industry - Stratified lighting fixtures can provide interior designers with new ways to create a unique ambiance and style in a room, while also allowing for a more personalized and functional lighting design.
3. Industrial Design Industry - The trend towards minimalistic designs, coupled with the innovative layering techniques of stratified lighting, presents an opportunity for industrial designers to push the boundaries and create new and exciting products for home decor and lighting.
