Designer Andrew Aloisio’s lighting designs, dubbed Somewhere in between were apparently an attempt to combine the work of the homeware and labware manufacturing divisions of plastics-maker Kartell. So the aluminium lamps are dotted with test-tube racks, retort stands, burette clamps and more. But by using striking red metal tubing and cables, what did Andrew actually achieve? A set of lamps set to induce shivers, medical gadget nightmares and attacks of the heebyjeebies in all who look upon them, that’s what. Thankfully they’re a one-off artwork. [Dezeen]
