Just imagine drinking a good wine in your living room while your stylish furniture glows and reveals sexy photos of you. Now, that should be a nice view for the first date.

In fact, this is possible

with the new BEAM nightlight. This unique kind of furniture is part-lamp, part-photo frame. A long silver case uses 40 low w LEDs that are designed to emit soft glowing and to illuminate strips of medium format transparency film featuring pictures of different kinds of light.

For the special moments there is dimmer shade, while any party should be accompanied by a sharp glamorous light. Each integrated nightlight expends no more than 3 watts of energy, so the system won't be too heavy for the environment either. The pictures change continuously, so every light is a special one. But the sensation is definitely great.

But what is Beam? It's nothing but an illuminating lamp as well as a unique piece of photographic art, designed for sophisticated people. The piece of furniture consists of a piece of medium format transparency film and not a reproduced photograph.

The Beam project was conceived by Ernest Goh and Daniel Pillai, in Singapore last year, as a modern method of displaying the photograph art. But, instead of staying in museums, this thing looks amazingly good in any living room. Goh and Pillai have won various awards for their artwork.

Regarding the technical specifications, every single piece of the Beam is encased in a high-resistant industrial stainless steel shell, measuring no more than 850mm x 100mm x 100mm. The artwork measures 800mm x 60mm and is encased in a 20 mm thick UV filtering transparent acrylic ensuring archival quality.

This lighting system comprises 48 LEDs, consuming the equivalent to a hand phone charger.
