Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are the Cubebots – puzzling playful robots and all-in-one adventurers. Like everyone else, we come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. We can be a he, a she, whatever you want us to be. Want a challenge? Try to fold us into a perfect cube. Forgive us for bragging, but not only are we smartly designed but were made of a renewable resource – sustainably harvested hardwood. Try saying that three times. Its our pleasure to make your acquaintance. Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries - but not this one! Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles, the Cubebot is a non-traditional take on the toy robot by joining ancient Japanese traditions with contemporary toy culture. Cubebots's powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and his elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make him impervious to breakage. When it's time for him to rest, he folds into a perfect cube. An enduring classic that will withstand generations of play. Recommended for ages 3+.

"New Lamp"
The mysterious Italian lighting manufacturer from the Sixties

I have a profound love for Italian lighting and have developped a special interest in the luminous creations by "New Lamp".  "New Lamp" was one of the most influential lighting manufacturers from the late 1960s and early 1970s, but it's very likely you've never heard about this company before.  Half a century after having mysteriously vanished from Roman soil (they had their headquarters in Rome Italy), the nearly forgotten lighting manufacturer is gaining renewed appreciation from a handfull of dedicated private collectors who seek out pieces at Italian antique stores and the occassional surprising flea market find.  "New Lamp" was a company that produced some of the most amazing lamps from 1968 until 1972; yet little is known about its founders or why "New Lamp"seemed to have disappeared into thin air by the end of 1972.  Perhaps the oil crisis marked the end of the visionary dreams of its founders?  I have searched for years to find more information about these light artisans but have come up with next to nothing.  There are only a handfull of other people with some knowledge such as Fulvio and Napoleone Ferrari based in Torino Italy and La Galerie Moderne in Paris.  But even they were unable to trace back "New Lamps' founders and designers.  So I have collected here some of the most beautiful works by "New Lamp" light artists such as Rinaldo Cutini, Giuseppe Ravasio, Ingrid Hsalmarson, Gianfranco Fini and Fabrizio Cocchia.  Inventive designers who are forgotten, under appreciated, or little known although they created some of the most brilliant lamp designs of the 20th century.  You will notice that most lamps have a design/production date of 1970; that is because the exact year of production remains unknown; these lamps were released anywhere from 1968 to 1972.  "New Lamp" never marked the production year on their lamps.  This is an active blog and new lamps will be added as-found so make sure to revisit this page.  Thank you for visiting this page!

Tom Dixon Sculpture-Like "Stacking-Seating-Decorating" Contemporary Jack Lights are modern multi-functional light objects made from plastic that use the process of rotary moulding.  The Jack Light was first launched in 1994 and became somewhat of a design icon. Since then, Jack floor lights were designed and mass produced to prove industrial manufacture was still possible in the UK. Dimensions Height: 52cm x Width: 58cm x Depth: 58cm Cable length: 3.5m Materials & Finishes Produced from polyethylene Jack uses the industrial process of air rotation-moulding. Bulb (included) 1 x E27 5W CFL bulb. IP20. rated. Tom Dixon fell into the design of the Jack Light by accident when he found himself with “time on his hands" while recovering from a motorcycle accident. As an art school drop-out with no technical training, he taught himself how to become a designer-maker in 1983 after discovering welding when trying to repair his motorbike which led to the design of the industrial-like Jack Light.

Love DIY modern light kits? Sometimes it’s not so much about creating new – but rather about taking existing things and putting them into a new perspective… or background. We hope you like this beautiful Norm 06 flower-shape do it yourself lamp kit from Normann Copenhagen. Norm 06 is a sculptural lamp shade with its own expression. It is easy to assemble without the need for any tools or glue. Norm 06 is a good place to start your lamp-puzzle adventure. The lamp distributes a soft, surrounding light that works well in most rooms. Hang it over the dining room table, in the entrance hall or use it in the bedroom. Norm 06 can be cleaned with a duster or by using the shower head in the shower. The lamp shade is made of a special, non flammable plastic material. 

Simon Karkov graduated in architecture from The Danish Academy of Architecture. Since the sixties he has been working for several architecture offices in Denmark. The past 10 years he mainly worked for the Municipality of Frederiksberg. During this period he left his mark on several projects, for example Frederiksberg Hospital and Frederiksberg Gymnasium. Today Simon is enjoying his retirement in Turkey working on different projects.
“Whenever I get an idea I draw a sketch which is then transformed into a model. The model is then adjusted over a period of time until the final prototype can be done. I dream of developing new ways of designing furniture and larger objects through the self-assembly concept. This concept must be able to work on a larger scale and that thought fascinates me.”
