agave

the agave light from dwr ($461) is an elegant pendant lamp designed by diego rossi and raffaelle tedesco. an experiment in using fluorescent bulbs to create an energy-efficient fixture, the agave light uses acrylic to recreate the rosette of an agave plant. in addition, the lamp optimizes light distribution, whether throughout a room or over a table top and comes with three primary colored light filters, for a total of nine shades of light to let you customize the room’s hues according to mood or event. very cool. more info and purchasing right here.
