One look at this lamp and you can appreciate its cool, sleek design, but once you learn its story it becomes even more captivating. You might be able to figure out the inspiration for this lamp from its name – Dropmacro lamp. If not it’s ok I will tell you. Its creator, Emir Rifat Isik, was inspired by a macro photo of water in motion, leading to the creation of a lamp that mimics this same fluid motion. So simple yet so perfect, and illustrated in this stunning form See more from this talented designer here.

Today I bring you some very interesting work from Jennifer Anderson. The first image is part of her Material Series, in which Anderson created the same chair in five different materials. Shown here from left to right are mud, wax, and wood. Her collection also includes grass and bronze. I think it is so interesting to see the emphasis placed on the material rather than the form, which is normally the first thing most of us look at.
Anderson was very intrigued by the chairs she created in mud, so taking it a step further she decided to “remake” several modern classics (pictured here is Wegner’s Wishbone Chair). The focus this time was permanence/impermanence. On her website she does not go on to say what she means by this, but for me it proves the staying power of great design. Even made in mud, this chair is distinctly Wenger and the fact that is made with mud doesn’t change that. Now how many designers can you say that about? Pieces from the Mud Series are available for purchase by special order via Anderson’s website.

This is pretty amazing. Look closely and you’ll see that each of these brilliant pieces is made from tape! These wonderful images come from Mark Khaisman who describes his work as a conversation with light. Each of his projects is made from layer upon layer of packing tape (wow who thought that could be pretty!)
The top image is of Grab the Treasure and Run for Life Installation in Crane Arts, Philadelphia 2007 and the second is Series Adding Zeros, Vacant Show, Benoliel Gallery, Philadelphia 2007. Prints of some of his work are available for sale for a very reasonable $200 – especially reasonable because each is made in a limited addition of 50. More of Khaisman’s genius here.

We have to think beyond recycling; why waste energy shaping wood when nature is already doing such a good job? Sold by sets of 8, these hanger hooks require you take a walk in a natural environment to complete the object with some fallen branches. The project was designed for the Brussels based non-profit organization Les Petits Riens , which provides social reinsertion via the collecting and selling of second-hand clothes and used furniture. http://www.alainberteau.com Related posts: ShopStyle Living Take Off Your Clothes Zilka Clothes Hangers ©2009 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | 1 comment Sponsored Topics: Recycling – Environment – Non-profit organization – Business – Waste Management
