New York Design Week offered eye candy aplenty this year. In the lighting category, one of our favorite finds was the Craft System by Brooklyn-based UM Project. The Transformer of lamps, these Corian units were designed to attach to various tops and bottoms that turn them into terrariums, theremins and other unexpected household fun.
UM Project's François Chambard says he's interested in blurring the line between the mass-produced and the handmade. "I was intrigued by the idea of doing a project based on repetition, with a twist," Chambard says.
Want one? The Atum lamp, which was on display at last weekend's Wanted Design show during ICFF will soon be available at select design stores. The rest of the one-offs will be sold by UM Project direct.
