Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Angela Jansen has come up with a seriously eye-catching variation on the classic table lamp – the Silhouette Floating Lamp. While the upper part levitates using electromagnets, the lower section is home to a ring of LEDs that reflect off the suspended mirror above to throw light out into the room.
