Levatating Lamp

I spotted this picture of a floating buddha somewhere and liked it a lot, but thought it a photoshop trick. I was wrong it's actually floating like the lamp made with the same technique next to it. After some investigation I found out that both make use of a technology that is developed by Crealev.


The floating buddha and lamp

The lamp was first seen during the Dutch Design Week in 2007. The levatating technology has been used in lamps by Angela Jansen. These lamps are known under the name LOS (loose). And it is rumored that they might go for sale in 2008.


See how it works...

I like the lamps but am not wild about them. I think the base just doesn't appeal to me. The Buddha has my vote. I think it looks great floating somewhere in the livingroom. hehe. :) I couldn't find any info on the Buddha unfortunately. If I ever do, I'll post it on my blog.


Another film about the floating lamp & disc..
