This month will be all about the latest addition to the Lampes: the Lampe chunky. The Lampe chunky fits nicely between my plug in lamp and my garden lamp. The design of the Lampe plug in is quite fine and delicate and when I designed the garden lamp, the material made this lamp more chunky. I liked that look for outside. But I also wanted that look for inside, so I decided to combine the chunkyness of the gardenlamp with the colours and material of the plug in lamp. The result: a sturdy, chunky, more industrial plug in lamp for inside. Available in 6 colours thick cotton, with 3 meters cord and a plug with a switch. For the bulb you can choose between an opal or a clear led bulb of 4 watt. In the third picture you can see I hung the lamp on the wall with a strap. This is the Loop XL, comparible with the Loop pillow (which I discribed in my previous collection blog) but a bit smaller. The Loop XL straps are made from thick merino wool felt and are available in 8
A while ago I came across this picture on, of course, Pinterest and I was in love. At the time I couldn't get to the source of the picture. In my research for another post recently I came across it again and this time I found the designer: Kwangho Lee. He is a designer from Seoul, Korea. His basic design principle is giving new meaning and function to everyday objects and materials. The inspiration came from his grandmother knitting when he was young and from his grandfather who recycled everything he found. The lamp that first caught my eye is entirely made from thick electrical wire. For this restaurant he made them from rope. pendant lamps in The Atlantic Restaurant The technique he uses is a sort of self-invented finger knitting. Every piece is entirely handmade. The material is so tough that he often worked until his hands bled. blue pendant lamps brown pendant lamp brown pendant lamp detail black pendant lamp black pendant lamp chandel
Elisa Strozyk is a German designer who turns wood into textile, maintaining the structure of the wood. She glues small pieces of wood on a textile surface, creating a piece of fabric, rug or carpet that feels and looks like wood but is flexible at the same time. wooden textiles making wooden textile wooden textile wooden rug red Miss Marple making wooden rug wooden rug The first time I saw a picture of her work I had to look twice. You think you see a plaid or blanket, but the shape and material do not match with what you would expect. It made me curious and since I have seen more of her collection I am very impressed. The detailing is amazing. But before you are thinking of purchasing a blanket, think again, a plaid costs about €2150. Which is understandable, because I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into one.
