This lamp by QisDesign was inspired by the coral reef.
Nature meets modern design in Coral Reef (PHP99,000), a floor lamp by Taiwanese company QisDesign, distributed in the Philippines by retailer Feliix. Designed to look like coral beds on a coral reef, the floor lamp has a smaller sister, a table lamp that costs PHP44,000. It’s powered by LEDs, which according to Feliix Inc. Marketing Director Krisel Sy Cao Yao, saves energy by up to 80%. The floor lamp, made of aluminum alloy, stands gracefully. Its fragile frame belies its strength as it supports three lamps that switch on when swivelled. Dispersed light can illuminate a larger area by switching around the configuration of the three lamps, which are made of durable polycarbonate plastic. “The very action of having to swivel around the lamps and change how they are arranged sounds like a pretty fun game,” said Ms. Sy Cao Yao. “You get to interact. You get to experience the light.” Designed with nature in mind, the lamp are slim and sleek — unsurprising since QisDesign’s principal architect used to work for Porsche.
