5 Lighting Trends Reflect the Age of LEDs

Catering to a new young generation of globe trotters, the past year has seen the launch of a plethora of portable lighting designs that can move with us from place to place. One such design is the cordless ‘M’ Lamp by British designer David Irwin for Brooklyn-based Juniper Design. Untethered by a power source, the ‘M’ Lamp is powered by a lithium battery that provides 18 hours of light on a single charge. It’s made from lightweight aluminum and Irwin explains that the compact cordless design is a modern interpretation of the archetypal 19th century miner’s lamps that were used in Northeast England. Hang it from the ceiling or rest it next to the bed, the flexible ‘M’ lamp is designed to adapt to an array of environments and situations.
