Shadow Art Lighting

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Shining Light Floor Lamps Brings Child Games into the Grownup World

— October 22, 2011 — Art & Design
There is no better way to hold onto childhood than by surrounding oneself with items that are reminiscent of it, like the Shining Light floor lamps. These unique light fixtures play on the shadow games children would play with a simple flashlight, little fingers and big imaginations.

Created by Michael Rösing in collaboration with Dennis Thies, the Shining Light floor lamps feature two-dimensional sculptures that are affixed to the stand directly in front of the lightbulb. When the light shines, it casts a clear shadow on the wall.

Although the Shining Light lamps are the grownup versions of the shadow puppets from our childhood, the images are still rather playful. The Drunkard version is particularly funny.

The Shining Light floor lamps made their debut during this year's Dwell on Design show.
Trend Themes
1. Shadow Art Lighting - The innovative use of two-dimensional sculptures that cast clear shadows on the wall offers a new way to incorporate playful elements into lighting design.
2. Childhood Nostalgia - Surrounding oneself with items reminiscent of childhood, like the Shining Light floor lamps, taps into nostalgic sentiments and creates market opportunities for products that evoke nostalgia.
3. Interactive Light Fixtures - The combination of lighting and interactive elements, such as shadow games, opens up possibilities for creating engaging and interactive light fixtures.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The Shining Light floor lamps present an opportunity for designers and manufacturers in the home decor industry to create unique and playful lighting options for consumers.
2. Art and Sculpture - Artists and sculptors can explore the use of two-dimensional sculptures and shadows as a medium for creating visual art installations and sculptures.
3. Event and Exhibition Design - The Shining Light floor lamps can be incorporated into event and exhibition design to create immersive and interactive experiences for attendees.
