The lightness of Being

"Lightness Of Being is a giant flexible lamp.
The inside is full of technique though its look refers to a giant flower
like from Alice in wonderland.
To switch the light I pull the felt over the stem and the 'flower' closes,
and so does the light..."

have been meaning to show this to ya'll for a while

Geometry is Complex

Autumn|Winter '10

Spring|Summer '10

they have some pretty out there stuff for the men's line

but I love Complex Geometries

,complex geometry is the study of complex manifolds and functions of many complex variables. Application of transcendental methods to fabric falls in this category''

just a little play on words

Anndra Neen

read about this eclectic jewelry label in Zoo Mag the other day

was intrigued by their name,

and also by their ability to twist that cold raw-ness

those meshes of wire and dirty metal

into a sculptural seduction

and then stumbled upon Richard Burbridge's take on their pieces

inspired by Frida Kahlo this shoot emits that self tortured

haunted artist look

creating a perfect dialogue with the jewelry at hand

According to Zoo Mag Anndra Neen will producce

a line for men as well as home furnishings-

can't wait!

'Wood Textiles'

a flexible morphing carpet made with offcut wood

designer's words :

"Giving importance to surfaces that are desirable to touch can reconnect us with the material world and enhance the emotional value of an object.

“Wooden Textiles” convey a new tactile experience. We are used to experience wood as a hard material, we know the feeling of walking across wooden floors, to touch a wooden tabletop or to feel the bark of a tree. But we usually don’t experience a wooden surface which can be manipulated by touch."
