From Milan via Coroflot: the "Teka" OLED lamp, a sculptural lighting object "inspired by Vienna museum displays, first microscopes and scientific instruments in brass." Industrial designer Alessandro Squatrito spent the eight months leading up to this year's Salone working for Aldo Cibic and Tommaso Corà of Italy's CibicWorkshop, the designers behind the piece and three others for the Wonderoled exhibition at the Triennale.

The 15 OLED discs—the "result of the latest advances in nanotechnology"—are arrayed on a brass chassis, set within an aquarium-like vitrine. It's like a vaguely steampunk-y version of Humans Since 1982's artier "Collection of Light" or People People's Invisible Speaker, a design object that's entirely at home in a museum setting.
