Microsoft is not very well received in the design community as its no secret that most design professional fancy anything that falls from the Apple tree. However product designer Ben Geebelen uses something as dull as Microsoft Excel to come up with something as gorgeous as the TulipK Lamp. This stunning piece of lighting is a result of Selective Laser Sintered in polyamide which in english means that the pattern was designed in Excel and the file in 3-matic.The shade has 6 tulip petals surrounding the light bulb and the designer used a spread sheet to determine the locations of all 2374 holes punching through one petal.

Showing ingenuity by moulding his chair like origami shaped animals, the chair may not be big on comfort but will take center stage in any urban space.
