Craighton Berman is an industrial designer from Chicago, USA who was established the Craighton Berman Design in 2006. Craighton Berman is known for his willing to put his conceptual ideas into tangible objects. He previously designed the Stimulation Mug and the Power Reel.
Lately, he designed the Trashlight and the Coil Lamp.
Here is what he said about the trashlight design :
"You can learn a lot about somebody by looking through their trash.
Trashlight merges two household icons—the floor lamp and the trashcan. This unlikely combination brings the user’s garbage out into the domestic setting and illuminates it for examination by yourself and others. Trashlight takes transparency to an extreme— nothing is secret anymore, not even your waste.
What happens when we are forced to interact with our trash after we have “thrown it out”? What does our garbage say about us—are there things we are ashamed of admitting we consume? What happens when we have to “curate” our trash—burying things we want to hide and surfacing things we’re proud of? Finally, does putting our trash in the spotlight force us to further consider the nature of consumption and disposability?"
and here is what he said about the coil lamp :
"Coil reduces the domestic table lamp to the absolute minimum of defining elements. A single electrical cord coils around what appears to be an empty volume, defining the iconic form of a table lamp and ultimately powering a single light bulb.
The entire lamp is created exclusively from a 100 foot extension cord that has been wrapped around a laser-cut clear acrylic form. This simple transformation elevates the status of the humble extension cord to the realm of domestic design"
