Industrial designer Nir Meiri‘s Desert Storm lights were inspired by just that. She says, “The shape of the sand-molded lamp shades brings to mind primitive dessert structures, while the fixture’s overall figure resembles that of plants that blossom in the Mediterranean seashore.”
The shades, made from sand, are rough on the inside and smooth outside, and affixed to a sturdy iron pole. The lamps, which come in standing and table models, take LED bulbs but spread a soft light. The collection is currently on display at the Paradigma Design Gallery in Tel Aviv.

Desert Storm? Really? You don’t think that name has any negative connotations?
Maybe that could be a theme- inappropriately named products. The next thing could be a couch that blends Eastern European and hip hop style and it can be called Warsaw Ghetto.
