The UFO Neues Licht pendant lamp provides a floating wheel of illumination with a bright white stripe not unlike the spaceship it's named for. Instead of using compact bulbs or even LEDs, though, it has the lighting system built right into the lamp, having light forming and broadcasting from the glass fibers comprising the spokes. Beautiful, but beyond beautiful, it introduces a new way of thinking about how we're going to light objects in the future. [GT]
