Now it’s the time on Design Milk when we dance . I couldn’t help myself! Schprokets is a gear-shaped lighting fixture designed by Christopher Moulder that uses no wires or sockets, but instead uses low-voltage bulbs that give off a halo-like glow. Moulder has created a structure that not only looks like a turning gear, but it functions as both the light and the socket. “I wanted to create a piece with no wires or sockets, so I started experimenting with low voltage bulbs,” Moulder explains. “Low voltage means the fixture doesn’t have to be insulated.

Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana created an innovative design that will make you re-think the kitchen. Shaping Silestone® by Campanas is a modular unit for the kitchen that mimics the way a Swiss Army knife works. It has three main elements, or wings, that each incorporate a function for the kitchen – a worktop, a stove, and a sink and table. So instead of having many components being brought into a kitchen, you have one single piece that houses much of what you need

Chances are if you live anywhere near a city you see those spiraled cables attached to electricity and telephone poles and they’re just what inspired Mariana Aguila to design a rocking seat called CFE . Those cables are the lifeline that provides every city with power, phone lines, and other resources and most of the time, we don’t even think about them. No doubt this design will have you looking at them differently in the future and actually taking notice. Made from three different sized powder-coated metal tubes that are joined together, the seat can be used flat or to rock back and forth on. Photos by Karla Agis and Mariana Aguila
