Two new lighting products were recently introduced by 3M Architectural Markets, the company's interior products division, embodying their ongoing commitment to develop LED and OLED lighting solutions. The expanding LED and OLED market presents an interesting challenge for interior and lighting designers and we look foward to seeing fresh solutions in the near future.

AIR is a lightweight hoop fixture available in 3', 5' and 7' diameters and a wide range of color outputs from white light to RGB. The LED lights are dimmable and replaceable.

FLEX is a linear modular lighting system that can be curved along walls or ceilings. The system can be fully customized and is manufactured of a lightweight aluminum enclosure with a slender profile of only 1.72 in. thickness.

    I absolutely love this design that 3M Architectural Markets introduced. It is a brand new way of designing lighting for spaces. I love how the Flex lights can be created to flow around the room in order to create a smooth movement by using round curves when the lights start to turn direction. The Air lights can be used to create very interesting designs with the different diameters of the hoops. This design is a very great creation and I can't wait to see what other designs stem out from these.

    Variations on the Upcycled Glass Bottle Lamp by DeGross

    Recyclable though it may be, glass is among the more popular materials for upcycling projects—for which lamps are the obvious choice. (Plastic bottles are also particularly popular among DIYers, whether they're repurposed ultra-lo-fi lighting solution or a series of experimental abat-jours.) In fact, the glass bottle is an old-world touchstone...
