These modern lamps embody a futuristic aesthetic and are designed to feature multipurpose capabilities. Taking something as simple as at-home lighting and turning into a much more modern concept, these lamps are paving the way for innovations in art, design and tech.
Especially interesting is the moonlight lamp which is an almost exact replica of the earth's moon -- sharing the same dips and craters. The light this modern lamp emits is actually modeled after the moon's lunar phases and even syncs with them in real time.
Another standout is the 'Torus' fan lamp which is able to circulate and cool air while simultaneously functioning as a light. The sleek lamp is tall and flexible enough to be bent according to the users' cooling and illumination needs.
