The Lighting Architecture Movement Project (LAMP) has just announced the finalists from their fourth annual International Lighting Design Competition. The top 10 lamps were chosen from over 132 submissions worldwide, from 80 cities and 27 countries. Matthew Kennedy is representing both BC and Canada with his submission, Diaphanous.
Just in time for those dark fall evenings (and afternoons), LAMP will be hosting an exhibit featuring 20 original jury-selected lighting entries from around the world. The exhibit runs from November 4 to 6 (entry is by donation only) at Jan Kath Studio in East Vancouver.
The winners of the competition will be announced the morning of November 3, followed by an opening party later that night. Come celebrate with the winners and get up close and personal with some world-class designs. Opening night tickets must be purchased in advance through LAMP’s website. Until then, you check out the top 10 finalists below. Hopefully they brighten your day...
