　　This year the theme was “make”, in response togrowing interest in the process of how things are made across the design world — from thepotter at the wheel to the engineer in the digital environment. This was evident in the lightingon show at the fair, where recent advances in low-energy bulb technology were incorporatedartistically into many designs.

　　今年初举办的巴黎Maison et Objet家居装饰博览会为全年的室内设计风格确定了风向标。展会在巴黎北部世博园(Parcdes Expositions)的九个大展厅内举行，在为期五天的展览中，共有3194家参展商参会，吸引访客8.3万人。

　　今年的展会主题是“制造”，以回应对家居产品设计制作整个过程的越来越多的关注——从操作转轮的陶工到数字环境中的工程师。在本次博览会举办的灯展中表现得尤为明显，最新的节能灯技术被巧妙地设计进诸多产品中。

　　An LED light source is positioned inside the 73 light, and the pendants can be clustered andtheir lengths staggered to create a cloud effect. More flexible than a chandelier, the result isarguably more like a bespoke piece of art.

　　LED光源被放置在73节能灯内，然后收拢起吊灯，长长的吊灯错落有致，营造出云朵的效果。它比树形吊灯更为灵便，整件灯具更似一件高级定制的艺术品。

　　The idea of lighting as a work of art was also explored at London-based Ochre, where a largegrouping of its Seed Cloud pendant lights looks more like a sculptural installation. Each bronzebud has a solid glass drop hanging from it through which light from a tiny LED is magnified. “It’s like a bronze eyelid for the glass,” says co-founder Joanna Bibby. “When something ishandmade it can’t have a manufactured feel.”

　　伦敦Ochre公司也成功地把节能灯打造成艺术品，它们制作的Seed Cloud大型组合吊灯就如同一件雕塑装置。从每个铜质吊头悬挂一个立体玻璃小圆球，微小的LED光源通过它得以大幅放大。“这就好比给玻璃安上了铜质眼睑，”联合创始人乔安娜•毕比(Joanna Bibby)说。“手工制作的产品，不可能有规模化生产的感觉。”

　　Wonderglass is a relatively new London-based lighting company, established by Italian fatherand son Maurizio and Christian Mussati, which aims to inspire “wonder” with its thoughtfulcreations. In the past year it has launched design-led chandelier ranges including JohnPawson’s Sleeve, Claesson Koivisto Rune’s Grappa and Zaha Hadid’s Luma.

　　Wonderglass是一家成立时间不长的伦敦灯具公司，它由来自意大利的一对父子莫瑞吉奥与克里斯蒂安•莫萨蒂(Maurizio and Christian Mussati)创办，旨在用创意十足的产品激发“神奇”效果。过去一年，公司推出了强调设计的树形灯系列：约翰•帕森(John Pawson)的Sleeve灯、克莱松•卡尔维斯托•卢恩(ClaessonKoivisto Rune)设计的Grappa灯以及扎哈•哈迪德(Zaha Hadid)设计的Luma灯。

　　The Flow [T] light by Nao Tamura is made from blown Venetian glass and is designed to look likethe reflections of the city’s buildings in the water. Available in turquoise/green lagoon, this yearthe Flow [T] was also launched in white.

　　田村奈惠(Nao Tamura)制作的The Flow灯使用棕色威尼斯玻璃材质，并设计成城市建筑物水中倒影模样。天蓝色与绿色瀉湖款目前有售，今年the Flow [T]还推出了自己的白色款式。

His Plane pendant playswith simple minimalist forms and geometry — looked at from any angle, it is always a fullsphere. Dixon’s Beat collection is designed to be hung in a cluster of varying heights toresemble a landscape. The brass lights are spun and hand-beaten by skilled craftsmen innorthern India. This year the range will be painted in matt grey.

　　在法国公司Le Deun的展台上，美不胜收的Micro球形灯与新推出的梳妆镜由镜框内侧的LED条灯照射，煞是好看。

　　Blackbody is one of the only lighting companies working with OLEDs — organic LEDs, which aremore usually found in television or mobile phone screens. They are glare-free, heat-free andrecyclable. Each bulb is a flat disc, nicknamed a “pixel”, and the company works with ThierryGaugain, formerly head of design at Philippe Starck. His I.Rain pendants can be installed in anynumber and formation, while the new O Mi Kami chandelier can be configured in any size andhas shades made of Murano glass.

These soft, luminous forms float benignlyabove people’s heads while casting a subtle light and aiding acoustic absorption.

学习啦在线学习网 　　First Light是由伦敦灯具公司Another Country推出，是包括了黑色、白色以及赤褐色的吊灯系列，相比某些巨型灯件，它的设计风格更为简约，但却完整展示了关键的制作过程。吊灯由石件手工打造而成，其它部件则用黄铜制品。

　　“For me, it’s about longevity, what is au courant now will be obsolete next year,” says Paul deZwart, founder of Another Country. “It has to have been made in an authentic way and notjust be judged on its look. It’s about doing it right all the way through.”

　　“在我看来，灯具的使用寿命最为重要，当前的最新款式一到明年就会过时，”Another Country创始人保罗•德兹瓦特(Paul de Zwart)说。“任何灯具的制作必须一丝不苟，而不能仅从外观判断。必须至始至终保证质量。”

TheWorkstead Chandelier, available in black steel or polished brass, is an example of the desirefor honesty and quality in both materials and production. It can be configured in multipleways and hangs like a piece of sculpture from the ceiling.

　　“Now it’s about lighting as decoration and function, whereas in the past it was just reliedupon for function,” says Melissa Musson, a lighting buyer for the furniture store Heal’s. “Thishas enabled us to get more creative with the design of a piece.”

　　“如今的灯具需要集美观与实用性于一身，而在过去，往往只是注重实用，”英国家居店Heal’s灯具采购员梅利莎•穆森(Melissa Musson)说。“这将促使我们推出更具设计创意的灯具产品。”
