LIGHTING DESIGN: THE MONSIEUR FLOOR LAMP

I found this morning this nice and interesting floor lamp design, called the Monsieur Floor Lamp. Just like a man might tip his hat to say Hello, the Monsieur Floor Lamp does the same. Designed by Marco De Masi for Officine Tamborrino, the steel lamp has four tubular legs with a removable lampshade tilted to welcome you into the room.

3-D FASHION: Rising designer 3-D printed an entire collection at home

The fashion industry was among the first to embrace 3-D printing, including designers like Iris van Herpen, whose runways have featured couture designs created by the technology since 2011. But one fashion student in Tel Aviv took it to the next level. She created an entire Ready-To-Wear collection using the small 3-D printing machines you purchase for your home. While creating clothes using industrial 3-D printers is certainly a feat, doing the same thing on the tiny 3-D printers intended for personal use is quite another. Danit Peleg, who just graduated from the Shenkar college of design, did just that and the results are actually amazing. We want to wear it all! Watch the clip above to see the collection now.


I embarked on a year-long journey to find a way to print a 5-piece fashion collection as part of my graduate collection at Shenkar. Using soft materials and flexible patterns, I printed this collection at home.

FURNITURE DESIGN: Lounge Chair by PQL Studio

Love the fluent shape of this lounge chair from PQL Studio as well as the used material. The tension between complexity and simplicity is what makes this lounge chair design unique. The structure of the chair might appear complex, but the overall look is very simple and streamlined. The chair consists of 26 respective sub-elements made of laminated birch veneer. For details, see the enclosed links below.

Interesting design, simple & classic with a very nice natural flair. 
This 3,000 sqft prefab home replaced a dilapidated cottage on this beautiful street in Northern California. Located in Burlingame, CA, the house is a showcase of contemporary style and eco-friendly living. The design of the home includes a living roof, a myriad of recycled materials and energy-efficient features including electric car hook-ups. Developed by TobyLongDesign.
