Slack Line Illuminators

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Das Bergfest Collection Affords Flexible Interior Light Arrangement

— March 4, 2013 — Art & Design
The concept of the light "fixture" suggests an anchored object. While most illuminators are generally kept in one place, ideally brightening the most appropriate areas and activities, the Das Bergfest Collection offers its user the flexibility of moving the light source around the room.

There are three pieces in the set by Simon Paul Sigvard Ulfstedt, all inspired by the forms of dangling cowbells. The first -- and perhaps most whimsical example in the Das Bergfest Collection -- is the floor lamp. It rises up as a vertical shaft with a pair of horizontal branches. Two pendant lamps are slung over the offshoots, along with great lengths of excess electrical cables. These enable you to draw the shaded lightbulbs towards a table or a chair nearby.
Trend Themes
1. Flexible Interior Lighting - Opportunity for creating lighting solutions that can be easily moved and adjusted within a space for customized illumination.
2. Dangling Pendant Lamps - Innovative designs that incorporate pendant lamps with unique hanging arrangements, offering a visually appealing and functional lighting solution.
3. Excess Electrical Cables - Potential for repurposing excess electrical cables as part of a decorative lighting design, adding an element of creativity and sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Disruptive innovation potential in the field of interior design, allowing for more dynamic and customizable lighting solutions.
2. Lighting Fixtures - Opportunity for lighting fixture manufacturers to create products with flexible and adjustable features, meeting the demand for adaptable lighting solutions.
3. Sustainable Design - Potential for incorporating sustainable elements in lighting designs by repurposing materials such as excess electrical cables, contributing to eco-friendly innovations.
