Lee West by Evan Orensten
Lee West is a young English designer who has been working in Paris since 2000. He's quickly made a name for himself "Create(ing) useful objects with maximum material quality" for Ligne Roset, Cinna, Arc international, Paco Rabanne perfumes and Seiko. We like his sensibility for organic forms and mirrored surfaces.
Here are a few of his works (more after the jump):
His Boss table lamp in double cased white and transparent cut glass for Cinna, above right, and his Supernova floor lamp in triplex glass from Cinna, above left

His ceramic Glaçon (ice cube) table/stool for Ligne Roset has a mocha-colored mirror finish:

For mood lighting, I like the green and gold eyes, but my favorite part of the lamp has...
