Book: KOEL magazine

Afbeelding
Last year I had the privilege to have my pendant lamps featured in Koel Magazine. If you have never heard of Koel Magazine: it's a thick magazine filled with handmade yarn craft to make or to buy purely for your interior. With amazing pictures and the best supliers worldwide to get your creative juices flowing. It draws a perfect bridge between a glossy interior magazine and a diy magazine filled with patterns.
Am I being overenthusiastic? No, there really is no other magazine like this one.
It comes out about twice a year. You can order your copy at koel-magazine.com.



My pendant lamps were featured in issue 8, which came out in August 2019.  In the gorgeous pictures you can see my Lampe plug in mist, khaki and brick. The ocre pendant lamp in the second picture is the Lampe chunky. The lamp in the last picture is a mini version of my pendant lamp. Especially for Koel Magazine I made a pattern for this mini Lampe, which you can also find in issue 8.

knotted pendant lamps by Kwangho Lee

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.

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.







Personally I love that the lamps look half-finished and sometimes half destroyed.

crochet artist: Susanna Bauer

Afbeelding
This week the blog is about crochet artists. Artists who use the delicacy of crochet and the inspiration of nature to create the most beautiful pieces of art.
Today I'm going to start with Susanna Bauer, who combines very fine crochet with natural materials like stone, pieces of wood and dried leaves. I especially love her 2D work with dried leaves. Sometimes crochet is used as an embellishment, but mostly it is used in a constructional way. Crocheting pieces of leaf together or filling in holes. Although very small, they are true pieces of art.
