Carlo Forcolini and Giancarlo Fassina designed the Bizri Lamp for Luceplan, with the idea that the lamp could be played with and shaped as its owner saw fit. It is made out of flexible, heat-resistant silicone, which can be tilted, turned inside out or simply left to stand upright. It uses a 60W bulb and comes in white, green and orange, casting a glow through the silicone and throughout the room, though careful shaping of the lamp will allow you to spotlight a particular area, if desired. Price: $84.

Solid lamp shades look dramatic, but in many rooms, the way that they limit light can be a big drawback. The Sven Light seems to have taken that into its design, which seems to have had a strip removed from the shade. The lamp is made from spun aluminum and has 24 LEDs shining down and 16 LEDs shining up. Currently, they are available in black and white, but a red version is due for release within a few months. Price: $475.

Designers love eggs. Eggs have beautiful, clean lines and a great shape. The egg shape is perfectly symmetrical when cut vertically, but has a soft slope that draws the eye along its curves when viewed as a whole. Egg shapes can and do appear just about anywhere anwhere, in both small and large sizes. We've noticed this, as egg-shapes have come up repeatedly on Luxist, but we still have our favorites. Let's face it: some egg designs work better than others.  These are some of the good ones:
