One of the standout designs of this year’s NYIGF 2010 was the unique lighting designs by Australian design company Electric Firefly. The company was founded by Sydney designer Simon Goldstein in 2002 and has been sold in shops all over Australia and been featured in multiple magazine publications over the past few years. The company has been makings strides to make their factories and products environmentally friendly. They use Australian made polymer sheet that is 30-50% recycled material and completely non-toxic to create their products. Their factories recycle their own waste as well as that of their customers.

Electric Firefly offers four different designs: The Daisy, Nimbus, Sol, and Orbital. Each design can be used as a pendant, table, or floor lamp. All the designs have beautiful curves and are elegantly understated. They are made up of many small pieces of polymer sheet cut into a certain design. The identical pieces connect together to form the light; no glue or adhesive is needed for assembly. On their website they have video tutorials that show you how to assemble each design. Each light comes in a bunch of different colors, which can be mixed and matched to create your own unique design! You can order them online and they range in price from $89 to $250 depending on size and style.
