Retro Renewal - Atomic Indy
What would you do if you happened upon a yard full of discarded freebies? Blog cohort Baz over at Atomic Indy just sent me this really cool lighting DIY. While on his usual side street cruzing he came upon this yard full of freebies and snagged this cool retro Sony TV. Make the jump to see what became of this discarded gem.
Modern interiors by MR Architecture + Decor
Amazing is what my thoughts were led to when I first saw these interiors by MR Architecture + Decor. You have to see the “orange room” I want to rub my face on the walls. I also see that they are big fans of David Weeks and Tom Dixon with all of the killer lighting fixtures. I am sort of digging on the rug that has the raised grid pattern. Check out more after the jump.
Mathias Hahn - product design
I am totally digging on all of Mathias Hahn’s products, I could see any of these in my home. I am especially impressed with their modern lighting collection. My favorite has to be the Lantern, the combination of metal and class is very cool. Check out more of this London based studio after the jump.
Burgundy - .PSLAB BEIRUT
.PSLAB BEIRUT just sent me their latest project, Burgundy wine bar restaurant. Those matte black clustered tubes against the lighter colored wood of the interiors complement each other so well. I have posted about the modern lighting rock stars before and the hits keep on coming. Check out the rest of this place after the jump.
Suspended from the arcs, each light object is a set of conical tubes conceived to fill a circular-shaped area. Clustering in the circle, the tubes start at the center; moving radially, they begin to deviate at an angle of 25 degrees to reach an angle of 45 degrees. This deviation renders a chandelier-like object, with a bottom curved outline opposite to that of the ceiling. The cluster of the tubes housing the bulbs creates an effect of a singular light source being filtered.
Simple + Functional = Outofstock Design
I really like the products designed by the design collective Outofstock. All of these modern objects have such clean natural lines. The Boya light is so simple and beautiful, made from natural elements and of course I am partial to the walnut.
Outofstock is a design collective, born out of a fortuitous meeting in Stockholm, hence the name Outofstock. Gabriel Tan and Wendy Chua from Singapore, Gustavo Maggio from Argentina and Sebastián Alberdi from Spain met at Electrolux Design Lab 2005.
