Vorticity 5 // A Storm Time-lapse Film (4K)
Epic!
Photographer and stormchaser extraordinaire Mike Olbinski is back with the fifth volume in his “Vorticity” series. Shot over the 2022 and 2023 tornado seasons in the U.S. Central Plains, this edition has virtually everything: supercells, microbursts, lightning, tornadoes, and haboobs. There’s towering convection and churning, swirling turbulence. It’s a spectacular look at the power and grandeur of our atmosphere. (Video and image credit: M. Olbinski)

Is LED Lighting Harmful To Health – The Dark Side Of LED Lighting You Should Know
We think of LED lights as a very recent invention, but Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has in fact been around for over half a century. It was introduced in 1962 by General Electric scientist Nick Holonyak Jr., who named it ‘the magic one.”

Radient Reimagined lights by RBW Studio
Dezeen Showroom: RBW Studio has expanded its Radient range with Radient Reimagined, a collection of wooden wall light fixtures that come in various colours and shapes.
The selection of light fixtures builds on the existing range but incorporates optimized LEDs, intended to create a stronger and brighter lighting effect. The range has also been expanded with more shape, size and finish options.
The Radient Reimagined lighting fixtures come in many shapes and colours
"As an upgrade to our best-selling Radient sconce, the new Radient creates a diffuse halo of light, pairing minimalist design with the texture and warmth of solid, sustainably harvested-wood," said RBW studio.
"The new collection now offers more options for customising the sconce's simple wooden shade, with two shapes, three sizes and four finishes to choose from," it added.
The fixtures have powerful LEDs which give off a strong light
Users can choose from circles or squares with widths of eight, 10 or 12 inches. They can also customise the finish by selecting from Caribbean walnut, white oak, black ebonized oak or a white painted finish.
As with all of the lighting in the Radient collection, Radient Reimagined is meant to be hung in multiples. According to the brand, the simplicity of its design means many can be paired together in the same room.
The collection comes in two shapes, three sizes and four finishes
To create the fixtures, RBW sourced wood such as oak and Caribbean walnut lumber from Tuux, a design studio based in Mexico City.
Additionally, the brand ensured that the finish on each fixture is greenguard-certified for indoor air quality.

Arch pendant lamp by Johan Lindstén and Markus Johansson for Oblure
Dezeen Showroom: designed by Johan Lindstén and Markus Johansson for Swedish brand Oblure, the Arch pendant lamp has a shape that nods to a classical architectural form.
The Arch lamp has a graphic presence formed by a repeatedly curving piece of tubular metal and is described by Oblure as "alluring and eye-catching".
The Arch pendant lamp recalls a classic architectural form
Light shines down each of the pendant's seven pillars, and the lamp is available in a number of bold colours.
The standard colour selection includes black, white and cobalt blue in a high-gloss finish and nude in a matt finish. There are also custom hues available on request.

"I love it when my hands surprise my head" says Bertjan Pot
Designer Bertjan Pot offers a look inside his studio and introduces his designs for Moooi in this exclusive video produced by Dezeen for the Dutch brand.
Pot invited Dezeen to his Rotterdam studio, a converted gymnasium, where he demonstrated his process and showcased various products he has designed for Moooi, as well as some of the woven masks that he is known for making.
Dutch designer Bertjan Pot created the Random Light for Moooi
"I'm constantly trying things out, how they fit together," he said, "Some of these things, I consider a prototype. And sometimes a prototype actually becomes a product."
Pot has designed products for Moooi since near the brand's inception, including lights, chairs and a carpet.
The Random Light is made by coiling glass-fiber yarn around a spherical frame
His first piece for the Dutch furniture brand was the Random Light, which he initially made by hand himself before the design caught the attention of Moooi founder Marcel Wanders.
The designer made the first run of the lights by randomly wrapping a resin-soaked thread around an inflated balloon, which he then deflated and removed to leave a hard spherical shell that acts as a lampshade.
Pot's Heracleum light for Moooi features a branching structure tipped with a multitude of LED lights
"The first lights I just made to order, and I would deliver them myself," he explained. "I had all these fibres from glass yarn, and I had balloons, and I had resin, so I started coiling the thread in the most simple way around a big balloon."
"Then Marcel Wanders called and said 'hey, I've seen your lights, would you like the Random Light in Moooi?'"
The Heracleum III Linear light is the latest version of the design
Pot went on to design Heracleum, a suspension light comprised of a branching metal structure and a multitude of small LED lights.
He showed Dezeen the latest version of the design, the Heracleum III Linear, which is designed to hang above long surfaces such as dining tables or kitchen islands. The new version of the light has also been updated with brighter LEDs and better integration with smart home systems.

Marcel Wanders Studio's designs for Moooi "tap into the irrational side of the brain" says Gabriele Chiave
](https://www.dezeen.com/2021/07/23/marcel-wanders-studio-gabriele-chiave-moooi-video/)
The Heracleum light was named after the flower of the same name, which was a reference for the piece. However, Pot also noted the mathematical influences behind the design of the light fixture.
"For me, the Heracleum is a lot more about math than about nature," said Pot. "I always like it when there's more than one story with a certain product."
The form of the Heracleum light draws on mathematical principles
Reflecting on the process of experimental prototyping, Pot emphasised the satisfaction that he finds in the intuitive aspects of his craft.
"I love it when my hands can surprise my head," he said. "Your hands are making something and even the thing that you are fully in control of making can surprise you. I think that's a wonderful gift that comes with the profession."
Pot is also known for creating colourful woven masks, which feature prominently on his Instagram account.
Pot's masks are part of an ongoing series started in 2010
He has designed a number of other products for Moooi, including the Carbon Chair designed in collaboration with Marcel Wanders, and the Prop Light, which evokes the mirrors of dressing room theatres with its strips of bare LED bulbs.
Dezeen interviewed Pot in 2016 at Milan design week, where he made a series of seats by weaving shoelaces around inner tubes from different vehicles as part of Nike's The Nature of Motion exhibition.

Lumisonic downlight by Zuma
Dezeen Showroom: combining lighting with high-fidelity audio, Zuma's Lumisonic downlight is designed to invisibly deliver immersive sound for the home.
Lumisonic is an ultra-compact recessed downlight with an integrated loudspeaker, which works entirely wirelessly and is operated through voice activation.
Lumisonic is a wireless multi-room system delivering audio through downlights
The multi-room system was designed by Zuma founder Morten Warren, who started the company after experiencing frustration with "unattractive and obtrusive" ceiling speakers, their poor audio quality, and complex installation process.
His designs address these shortcomings while adding features including circadian rhythm lighting and a "Wellbeing" mode, which selects the optimal settings for any mood via presets on the app.
The speaker set-up provides immersive audio for the home with no cables or wires
Lumisonic can be retrofitted into any room to deliver what Zuma describes as a "canopy of sound" that is rich in detail.
"Zuma turns a bathroom into a spa, a home gym into a spin studio, a family room into a cinema, or even a kitchen into a disco," said the company.

Dew pendant light by Shakúff
Dezeen Showroom: US brand Shakúff has expanded its Raindrop lighting collection with Dew, a pendant that intends to showcase the mesmeric qualities of heavy glass.
Created by Shakúff founder Joseph Sidof, the Dew pendant is informed by the "pristine, luminous drops" Sidof observed on the leaves during early morning walks.
The Dew pendant light is made of heavy glass, which creates a bewitching play of light reflections
Dew is cast in moulds, using thicker glass to control consistency across pendants.
The heavier glass makes Dew a strong statement piece, with light reflections occurring at the bottom of each droplet-shaped piece.
Hung as a chandelier or arrangement, it accentuates space and creates a statement
As with all of the lighting in the Raindrop collection, Dew is meant to be hung in multiples, and it serves to accentuate space, making rooms feel both higher and more spacious.
Dew's translucent glass pendants are available in clear, grey or amber glass, which can be mixed into a single chandelier or arrangement.
