It's been a while since we checked in with Singapore-based designer Jaren Goh and his latest product, the Alpha & Beta lamp references the iconic lampshade shape morphing two together seamlessly with an organic flowing form in his signature mirror gloss finish. Goh has been busy, you can check out more from his Resonates 08 collection at his site and a few core picks after the jump.

Fullscale
Stand onto a weighing scale and you see two regions, the "viewing" region and the "foot rest" region. Instead of separating the "viewing" and the "foot rest" region, I took both of these elements and combine them into a singular and harmonious feature. Therefore now the "foot rest" is also the "viewing" region. Instead it offers to show the whole dial, which there is not a need to hide it. The dial becomes the facade of the product. It functions just like a normal scale should but will produce a different first user experience.

Sexyion
Creating what is needed is the concept behind this heel. It is a complete break down of the heel's structure. In this design, I use the "cross section" to represent the heels, meaning the two planar sides to fully correspond to both the visual and structural aspects of the heels. It is much like the construction bars used in the building construction. This way, we eliminate what is not required thus reducing material and weight. Finally, it also makes the heels slender thus sexier.

Lampost
Designed for large spaces, this lamp features the very classic lamp shades and structure. They are randomly inserted to create non-symmetrical look. This design helps to give environment a touch of contemporary art. Shades can be easily changed accordingly to interior styling and moods, giving rise to versatility.
