GNR8 new/s

Match Lamp

This "museum piece" looks like a giant matchstick leaning against your wall. Made of a wooden stand and a plastic tip, the Match Lamp is truly an "enlightening" installation for your home. Comes with a red and a white tip.

$US189 Available now at GNR8

As a special introductory offer for gnr8/news readers, we're making the match lamp available, for a limited time only, for $US169

Airswitch 1

AIRSWITCH1 & AIRSWITCHTC NOW AVAILABLE AT GNR8

Designers: Mathmos Design Studio

The newest addition to the ever popular Mathmos London line of lights, the Airswitch 1 will be unveiled for the first time in North America at next week's Gift Fair in NY. It won't be available for sale in the US until March, and gnr8 will be among the first to stock it. Let us know if you want us to inform you when it arrives.

From the website:

Slowly pass your hand horizontally through the air above the Airswitch to turn it on or off. Slowly raise and lower your hand above Airswitch to brighten or dim.

It's like....magic....

Chris Levine

Designer: Chris Levine

Best known to gnr8 as the designer who created the laserpod (and who, contrary to popular mythology, has had nothing to do with designing the lava lamp), Chris Levine is also a gifted artist doing some amazing things with light.

Definitely check out some of his latest work. For our money, anyone whose 2004 portfolio includes the first ever holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth, AND the light show for massive attack must be doing something right.

Mirror TV

Manufacturer: Ad Notam

From the website:

ad notam delivers moving images with sound on mirror and glass surfaces.

A glass or mirror surface with an integrated view surface in TFT display technology to playback high-resolution colour films (TV, SAT, DVD, video, etc.) or PC presentations (PC, laptop, flashcard, etc.) provides a completely new, trendy and effective way of communicating information.

ad notam supplies various design products for applications in retail (POS, POI), company presentations (foyers, trade fairs and exhibitions, showrooms), hotel and catering, hair salons and consumer market.

HIATUS OVER

As some of you may have noticed, we haven't posted anything since mid-November. We apologize to our legions of loyal readers, but Xmas was a hugely busy time for us, and we're just now beginning to recover.

We thank our readers/customers for looking to us for lighting inspiration, and we look forward to bringing lots of cool new products to gnr8 in the new year.

We will also get back to posting on a (semi at least) regular basis.
