Latest from PSLAB
Ramzi over at PSLAB sent us some pics of their latest project. I have posted about PSLAB before, they design and create some very cool lighting installations. I love the grouping, they seem to be working and moving together creating this living sculpture. More after the jump.
in the two parallel entrances we created one unifying layer of lighting in the ceiling. this layer was composed of a set of truncated conical light objects of diverse proportions. each object houses a lamp deeply fixed inside its cavity. The asymmetrical hole at the bottom of the conical shape determines the path of light casted. seen from an elevation view, the rugged outline of these fixtures defines a false ceiling layer creating a surface of ambient light.
For the conference room we developed a set of suspended fixtures creating a new ceiling layer. The sharp edge on the disk-like fittings gives the impression of floating sheets, while the off-centered cavity enclosing two large bulbs reveals the objects’ real massiveness.
Mid century modern curated - The Modern Warehouse
While cruising some Flickr groups I came across The Modern Warehouse, a London based store that has some amazing pieces. Don’t let location or budget keep you from visiting this site. They keep an archive so that you can go and get educated about some of the pieces and their designers. More after the jump.
All of our items are hand-picked by our team and represent some of the most famous architects/designers of the period. Alongside our range of ‘design classics,’ we stock many interesting items that are as yet unidentified by us but are chosen because of their Mid-Century style and their high quality. Our collection is made up entirely of original vintage pieces (no reproductions) and we only sell pieces that are in very good condition.

Lighting Rock Stars - pslab
If any one in the lighting industry could be tagged “Rock Stars” it would have to be pslab. I love how their projects are seen as design elements that integrate the function of providing light. In different environments their design can stand out as art or integrate seamlessly into it’s surroundings. More after the jump.
Furniture-Love.com The ultimate droooool
If you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Furniture-Love.com it is worth your bookmark. Obviously their items are rare to uber rare mid century modern beauties. With the uber rare comes the uber $$$, but If I had the dough I would be shopping there weekly. I have to commend them on the way they photograph their items. And for the most part they have all the history and designer info as well. More Photos and link after the jump.
