Animated lamp
Designed by the Tokyo-based design firm Nendo, the Hanabi lamp was on display at this year’s Milan Furniture Fair along with other designs that “resemble natural phenomena”. Hanabi is a shape-memory alloy lamp whose thin ribs “bloom” in response to the heat of the incandescent bulb. When the light is turned off, they slowly “wither” and return to a closed position. Nendo is currently negotiating with an Italian manufacturer for production. Nendo, Tokyo.
