Jellyfish Chandelier

Lately, I've been all about bioluminescent comb jellies, so discovering the work of Czech student (!) Kateřina Smolíková I was immediately struck. She isn't the first to find inspiration for lighting in the diaphonous and often luminous beauties of the deep, but her Skyphos chandelier is so crisp and modern, it's like nothing else I've seen.






There is plenty to explore in her portfolio (via architizer).

If you prefer your jellyfish lighting with more fluid, organic and flexible lines, check out these plastic discomedusa lights by Roxy Towry-Russell:



French sculptor Géraldine Gonzalez has some really beautiful medusas too, some of which involve crystals and LEDs and others of paper.




Do not forget the anotomically correct and beautifully rococo glass work of the previously-blogged Timothy Horn.

Groundhog Day

In honour of Groundhog Day, I am posting a PF favorite, Swedish ceramic/multimedia artist Frida Fjellman and her magical, whimsical creations involving some other rodents. This might me my favorite lighting implement I have ever encountered. Behold the plasma lemming!

She's got a fascinating collection of media, creatures, lighting, sculpture and a nice pair of boots.
