Daylight design lamp by Ross Lovegrove

Source: Velux

I am glad to see that more and more attention is paid by designers to develop applications that make use of daylight for the lighting of interiors. A beautiful example is the designer lamp by Ross Lovegrove for VELUX, based on the VELUX Sun Tunnel. It is purely daylight. The design won already several awards.
Ross Lovegrove himself explains his vision and design in a small video.
