Stimuli 3.0 Lamp Is Perfect for Home, Work, Spaceship
Posted by Mark Wilson at 7:00 AM on September 5, 2008
Honestly, we'd have posted the Stimuli 3.0 lamp even if it did nothing special. Just look at it, sitting there all science fiction-y, like some huge alien computer's vulnerable data core. But it just so happens that the spherical shape and surrounding panels have a specific function, to constantly adjust the lamp's light levels to correspond with that coming in through the windows. By shifting around the panels with an internal 3 axis gearbox, light output can fill the light gap left by a waning sun, maintaining a constant light level through the day. Plus, it'll match your alien autopsy dinner table fabulously. [Cnatt via Yanko Design]

If anyone is interested... Natt will be exhibiting the Intelligent Lighting at the Papadakis showroom in Shepherds Market during the London Design Festival which runs September 13-23.

@Lev_Astov:
RTA. There is no timetable for release because this is a concept.

I think this would look awesome in all white plastic, like the robots in the all is full of love video. It has that layered look that cunningham does so well.

Exactly what my Half-life 2 themed bedroom was lacking.

MUST HAVE. Why do designers never give any idea of how long it'll be before we can buy their stuff if ever?

I'd like one, please.
Can I get it painted like the google chrome logo?
Then it would be perfect.

OH, this wasn't a snapshot of a slow motion soccer ball explosion.
I'll really have to start reading articles in addition to looking at the pix.

@robpruitt: Its more fun not to, I usually look at the pictures and then make up my own story. This perhaps has an impact of the relevance of my comments...

i wonder how gradually it shifts. it would be fun to have it sitting on a table near a guest and suddenly turn on a lot more lights in the house, watching their horrified reaction as it opens like some kind of GAMMA BOMB!
or interrogator droid!
or soul-sphere ready for a fresh deposit!

Wow! Would I ostracize myself entirely if I had one of these in a dorm room?
