While surfing this morning on internet, I found this interesting lighting design, The Barrel Lamp designed by the Dutch label Nieuwe Heren and inspired by WWII searchlights. Crafted from sturdy materials like wood, steel and concrete, revolvable around two axes. Product designed for 'New Duivendrecht'.

More about the designers
Nieuwe Heren, freely translated as ‘New Gents’ was founded June 2009 by Erik de Nijs and Tim Smit. Erik (1985) and Tim (1988) both graduated from the University of the Arts, Utrecht (Holland) in 2009. After some successful cooperations they decided that their comparable visions and ideas would make a great team for a fertile collaboration. Nieuwe Heren is specialised in multiple mediums, varying from product, furniture to graphic and fashion.

Set in a historic, 17th century Villa, hidden away in the hills of Veneto, Fall 2024 comes to life. In the heart of a centuries-old garden, where secrets and stories have whispered through time, my love of nature takes center stage in floral lace, a signature floral print and romantic silhouettes.
Highlights from the Isabel Marant F/W 2023 collection. Take a look below to get an impression of this Fall/Winter 2023 collection. We saw turtlenecked mini dresses. Low-slung denim. Sparkly tinsel knits. See-through beading. Necklines intentionally askew. Layers that can be thrown on or peeled off throughout the night, depending on the venue or vibe. It was all there ........ I hope you're inspired! Earlier I wrote more fashionblogs,SEE HERE

One look
throughMarina Cano‘s exquisite
portfolio and the viewer is convinced that the bounds of love are not bounds
at all, but rather a shared experience among beasts of all shapes and sizes,
extending from the photographer herself to the very creatures who images she captures
so beautifully. From the delicate portrait of a mountain gorilla, gazing at her newborn infant to the intimate trunk nuzzling of African elephants, Cano’s animal photography elicits from its audience a sense that, in nature, love is the very core of existence.
Cano, based in Cantabria, Spain, is an award-winning photographer whose work published worldwide, includes landscapes and a striking collection of wildlife in a variety of environments. Inspired to pick up a camera by her photography-loving father, Cano started her wildlife series not in the dry expanse of Africa but much closer to home: at the Cabárceno Wildlife Park just twenty minutes from her home.
Quote: "I have a special commitment with the planet and their threatened wildlife and hope my work can touch people’s hearts. Photographers usually say that they ‘capture’ images, but for me the opposite is true. Animals have captured me.”
