The knighted light objects, Ray and Matt, by llotlove are a beautiful melding of craft with technology. The hanging light, designed with a 12 meter cable, is meant to be interacted, moved and played with. Thanks to the use of an environmentally-friendly energy-saving bulb (my guess it’s an LED light bulb), the light has no heat emission and can safely be integrated into your home in any playful arrangement. For all you knitters, I can easily see a lovely DIY version made. If only I could knit!!!

Why is this important? It’s interesting to observe the new and fresh design possibilities that simple new technologies (such as LEDs) have in shaping the aesthetic of the future. Before LEDs made a mainstream debut, the incandescent light bulb was at center stage — making such designs as a knitted cosy hanging lamp impossible (due to its high heat emission). Source: Yatzer
