Runway: Christian Lacroix, pretty in pink

More about the fashion designer Christian Lacroix (1951)

When the French designer launched his first couture collection, in 1987, his eccentric theatricality immediately seduced the fashion scene. He had originally studied art history aiming to become a museum curator. A taste for the past that was recognisable in his garments that evoked the baroque style and used the crinoline and 18th century “pouf”. In 2010, he stopped designing fashion.

DESIGN: The Woolsey Ping Pong table for design lovers by Sean Woolsey

A few pieces caught my eye this week, like this beautiful Ping Pong table for design lovers by Sean Woolsey. It is a sleek, multifunctional table with a solid black walnut top. The table sits on solid walnut legs and has a powder-coated steel net that can be easily removed. Need a dining table? The Woolsey Ping Pong Table can be converted to a dining or conference table as well. What an elegant and beautiful design! Love the use of walnut too.

Lighting Design: Lamp 'Gauge' by Norwegian studio Kneip (steel + LED)

‪I was inspired by this beautiful lighting design 'Gauge' from the Norwegian Studio Kneip. It is made from steel and has LED light. They have designed the adjustable lamp Gauge, so that it can be moved up and down or swivelled from side to side to change light levels. The Gauge lamp was first created as a tool for the designers, who found themselves working on a project that required a light source that could be adjusted and moved around the work surface. The adjustable joints, design and use of materials is inspired by tools' functionality and aesthetics," said the studio. Available as a floor and table lamp.
