Shakti Kundalini Contemporary Light Fixtures

Practicing Yoga is designed to awaken ones consciousness to the universal nature of the soul and ones spirituality. What better way to enhance it than bring the Shakti Contemporary Light Fixtures from Kundalini into your living room.



Shakti contemporary light fixtures are unique floor lamps with two lights for reading and ambience. These lamps have a dimmer through which one can vary the intensity of the light. The light diffuser is made of a laser cut extruded Plexiglas tube, fixed into a satin finished or chrome plated base. Shakti's light is always white, even in the coloured versions and this is made possible through co-extrusion.



Shakti was designed by Marzio Rusconi Clerici for Kundalini. These contemporary light fixtures are available in white, red, orange, and bouganville colors. These lamps are available in three different sizes ranging from 200cm, 250cm, or 320 cm in height. The Shakti 200 requires 2 E27 (E26 US) 100W lights while the Shakti 250 and Shakti 320 takes 2 E27 (E26 US) 150W lights.

Optik Wall Scone Contemporary Light Fixtures

Today I looked at a wall scone that serves a dual role. First and foremost it is a light fixture, and secondly it also serves as a mirror. This contemporary light fixture comes from ITRE and is known as Optik 40.



The Optik 40 Wall scone was designed by Massimiliano Artuso for ITRE in 2005. These contemporary light fixtures use diffused lighting for mirror effect and is great for fluorescent lighting.



The square shaped Optik is available in two sizes. The Optik 40 is 40cm x 40cm, while the Optik 26 is 26cm x 26cm. The Optik is constructed of a mirror glass diffuser which acts as a mirror when the light is off during daytime, and once the light is turned on, the circular lamp is visible. The structure of these contemporary light fixtures is made of Chrome metal. Overall it makes up an innovative design which fits in any modern home and lights up the room when desired. The Optik 40 takes a 55 W T5 Circline light bulb.
