Playing with light and hand shadows was and is a centuries old past time long before electric light was invented.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeclxnrxaG_Tgn33Jv1d4kxitrJFp1s5raAehSDjIvBupE_AaNaHIH7o3sIVRm-R0Cw6d6Ubyk6F_IFZXdR3sulf3pDpWne6hkd6X7Z22zMfFa3wRUhdWcDhBjyjPk19hymBpQW_5uAn_5/s1600/hand-shadow-of-flying-bird.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519094066520652162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeclxnrxaG_Tgn33Jv1d4kxitrJFp1s5raAehSDjIvBupE_AaNaHIH7o3sIVRm-R0Cw6d6Ubyk6F_IFZXdR3sulf3pDpWne6hkd6X7Z22zMfFa3wRUhdWcDhBjyjPk19hymBpQW_5uAn_5/s400/hand-shadow-of-flying-bird.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 493px; height: 625px;" /></a><br /><br />"BIRD IN HAND" plays with this concept: All of the hands are positioned to look like a flock of birds, flying out in circles. The shadows cast on the wall looks like birds. This results in a very expressive, dynamic and striking looking lamp, with layers of humor and poetry hidden in the design.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_KAiN9ySOClHoSstrJ_NG4FI1nFmBAZi_nsg4pbKl_EZ2f324Fi93Fjzi0iAZ2RVRTnaImnCtNeT-CtJ0dUVePKK0YwdwQ4GAFZhnWB4rd6SBIGh15nOREgFquSXE-NTBXgOS_njqNtT9/s1600/birdin-hand-7.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519091777865473458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_KAiN9ySOClHoSstrJ_NG4FI1nFmBAZi_nsg4pbKl_EZ2f324Fi93Fjzi0iAZ2RVRTnaImnCtNeT-CtJ0dUVePKK0YwdwQ4GAFZhnWB4rd6SBIGh15nOREgFquSXE-NTBXgOS_njqNtT9/s400/birdin-hand-7.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 494px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvXBlt3ApnMUIsFiuoZLvLISEMzJmwt-9QpBLXKP0IDB7GmKoJwNNuOmSUebgYeMa88P4apPKI2CxLoACIyET_O-kCLUIzgB_gH5yz8PGIEOSqP1yFMHu88TQNoRIZB2eLONSyyUg98ia/s1600/birdin-hand-6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519091879540615442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvXBlt3ApnMUIsFiuoZLvLISEMzJmwt-9QpBLXKP0IDB7GmKoJwNNuOmSUebgYeMa88P4apPKI2CxLoACIyET_O-kCLUIzgB_gH5yz8PGIEOSqP1yFMHu88TQNoRIZB2eLONSyyUg98ia/s400/birdin-hand-6.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 497px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgulSfrfhWwvvoB6A-EjeYewwwPTcvVPvHrUPRmk_vDfl567fPDUKBxBPQ7JDlbkDdpO1PTWlSTeVyL-C25A1ryD-fQA-BTkMFOJExFUTYmuz-TmwVWtv-jRGj8ebotPhnjwRbSpsQ9gxYE/s1600/birdin-hand-2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519092986885578018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgulSfrfhWwvvoB6A-EjeYewwwPTcvVPvHrUPRmk_vDfl567fPDUKBxBPQ7JDlbkDdpO1PTWlSTeVyL-C25A1ryD-fQA-BTkMFOJExFUTYmuz-TmwVWtv-jRGj8ebotPhnjwRbSpsQ9gxYE/s400/birdin-hand-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 246px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Hxh5lDCsPzuem0VfjAwRf-Jo4Kwpo95suY1VXqrVlYdWOi10B73y4gJHYCQZgEmAJVV7stmKV-2DHhiZSVQrtqBM81MK-H1sHH1Wh-a40k04XHaCp63zf5OAs_ughCb75njFK2XgNeGZ/s1600/birdin-hand-5.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519091978393085346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Hxh5lDCsPzuem0VfjAwRf-Jo4Kwpo95suY1VXqrVlYdWOi10B73y4gJHYCQZgEmAJVV7stmKV-2DHhiZSVQrtqBM81MK-H1sHH1Wh-a40k04XHaCp63zf5OAs_ughCb75njFK2XgNeGZ/s400/birdin-hand-5.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 246px;" /></a><br /><br />"BIRD IN HAND" suspended light<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">design:</span><a href="http://www.n-u.nl/"> J.P.Meulendijks</a>, 2010<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">material:</span> ECOLOTEK (a durable, fully compostable material composed of natural hemp-fibers, minerals and binder, developed by J.P.Meulendijks)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">bulbs:</span> 2x E27 LED-light-bulbs<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">dimensions:</span> diameter: 1000 mm. height: 450 mm.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">color:</span> white satin finish<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">retail price: 1270,00 euro ($1,659.74 USD)</span><br /><a href="http://www.planktonstation.nl/">order here </a><br /><br />all images courtesy of <a href="http://www.planktonstation.nl/">Plankton</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">special thanks to </span><a href="http://materialicious.com/" style="font-style: italic;">Materialicious</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> and </span><a href="http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2010/09/17/bird-in-hand-lamp-by-j-p-meulendijks.php" style="font-style: italic;">Mocoloco</a></span>
