Oobject’s latest list shows off lighting technology “integral to spaces rather than gimmicky design tchotchke.” Writes Oobject founder David Gilbraith:

Innovations in lighting design are often gimmicky or merely a case of LED everywhere. This list illustrates where lighting is sculptural and integral to architecture, from a night club made of glowing bricks, Daniel Libeskinds wireframe architectural chandelier, the amazing Lighthive exhibition at the Architectural Association and futuristic light sculptures by Kalle. Our LED example creates a grid of LED points that appear to float in mid air.

There’s some amazing and ethereal exhibitions on display here, though I’m particularly fond of the Escher-esque Spirit House Chandelier, pictured above.
