"tubes"
Just as the name suggests, "tubes", from Studio T (a contemporary design collection from New York) is a series of lighting derived from a common form - tubing. Shown in different finishes such as wood, brass and chromed steel, "tubes" are a finely detailed and sculptural addition to the living space. JGB

Jesus! those lamps are dull. Is everybody at the end of their "minimalist design" rope yet?
C'mon guys. I can't take it anymore. Art
I've got lots of rope left.....
keep it coming!
Hi, Greg, I understand. But when you venture into minimalism, you have to bring alot more to the table to stand out. I don't see a unique personality or vision in this designer's work- either in configuration, materials, surface, application or technology.
What I do see is quite derivative and rather uninspired. Oh, well....
I don't mind this line. It's simple, clean and more than likely will still look good in 20 years as opposed to some of the gawdy / over the top pieces I just came accross.
One of the things I like about the design process behind minimalism is having the ability to know when to stop. It's way too easy to keep adding on crap to a piece.
Let it breathe and save all the extra beads and chains to Kindergarten classes.
Yes, Adriean, You're right. "Knowing when to stop" is the most critical skill that any designer or artist can have. But these lamps stopped WAY too soon to be considered unique or beautiful. To "underdesign" something is as bad as overdesigning it.
