Outdoor Fireplaces: Great Outdoor Fire Pits by Ak47 Design


Today, while surfing on internet I found these beautiful outdoor fire pits from the company Ak47 Design. What a great outdoor fire pits! Love their simplicity, utility, style and functionality. Italian design firm, Ak47 Design has developed a collection of fire pits with something to suit every style and every backyard. A welcome addition to your outdoor space, this round fire pit is a place for friends and family to sit together in a circle, to reflect and to connect. How convenient is that .... Not only an entire family can seat around the fire but the firewood can be gathered and stored in advance, to make the night more enjoyable for everyone. Another unusual feature of these cool pits is how large they can be. They have just the presence to become an important part of your patio arrangement, creating a beautiful statement for your backyard or garden. This blogpost is a repost of my blog of 28-10-2015.

Lighting Design: the 'Oda' glass lamp by Sebastian Herkner for Pulpo

What a beautiful handblown glass lamps! It's the ‘Oda’ glass lamp designed by Sebastian Herkner for the German design brand Pulpo. The collection is inspired by photographs of industrial water towers taken by German artistic duo Bernd and Hila Becher. Much like these structures, the main body of the lights has a rounded form that is supported by a metal frame. "Like the silos and water towers of which they are inspired, Oda's simple forms appear both subdued yet bold," explained Pulpo. Designed by Herkner in 2014, the Oda lamp is one of the brand's most popular products and is available in three sizes and a range of colours. This blogpost is a repost of my blog of April, 28th 2020. Be Inspired ........

PFW: CHEN PENG F/W 2024 RTW

 Expressive collection from the Chinese fashion designer Chen Peng for his F/W 2024 RTW collection. Moments of Life at Paris Fashion Week. Be Inspired .........


More about the fashion designer
“WHEN I STARTED CHENPENG I WAS TWENTY-FOUR, I ALWAYS KNEW WHAT I WANTED”

Chen Peng graduated from London College of Fashion, where he received a Master's degree in Menswear Fashion Design Technology. His works can be defined as the One-sized Fashion, speaking for the minority with special body sizes. In Peng’s design aesthetics, there are no boundaries between beauty and ugliness. Instead, he focuses on accentuating personal features. Peng designs pieces suitable for both over-sized and skinny masses by comparing different body shapes among various individuals. Anders Sølvsten Thomsen, the stylist from ANTIDOTE magazine, described Peng’s work as “anti-tradition and deviant.”
As the creative director of CHENPENG, Peng has his own attitude and opinion for the industry. He thinks keeping the line and designing process closely integrated is crucial, it is necessary to have some elements of boldness and surprise in design, but it also has to remain practical and functional.
