Hemp chair ( stylelife )



‘ At the exhibition “Poetry Happens” in Milan’s Ventura Lambrate district, Werner Aisslinger showcased the world’s first concept for a monobloc chair made of natural fibers – a project supported by the German chemical company BASF. The *hemp chair* has been designed for a lightweight manufacturing process stemming from the car industry: the renewable raw materials hemp and kenaf are compressed with a water-based thermoset binder to form an eco-friendly, lightweight and yet strong composite.

Sopheap Pich ( art now )


Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich develops large-scale sculptures that draw on the history of his native country, daily life and own personal experiences and surroundings. His installation ‘compound’ is a construction using agricultural and craft materials found throughout cambodia: bamboo, metal wire, plywood and rattan, developed as a response to the dramatic progress of urban development and its detrimental effects on the environment.
The towering structure is situated within the foyer of the National Museum of Singapore, on show as part of the 2011 Singapore Art Biennale, drawing attention to the idea that where there is rapid progress, there is also destruction. Though the piece’s stacked geometric structures suggest architecture, the interspersed tubular shapes suggest bombs or ammunition, and the threat of destruction.
It took about 8 months to create the structure that consists of 83 individual units of various dimensions, in total measuring approximate 400 x 250 x 250cm.

Unusual Light Bulb Designs ( stylelife )


When you hear “light bulb”, what do you see? I bet you see the same iconic light bulb shape, which is probably better known than the famous Coca-Cola bottle silhouette. It’s a nice shape, but it’s always interesting to shake things up a bit, and redesign things that may seem unchangeable.
Here are 10 Unusual Light Bulb Designs that would definitely raise some eyebrows of your guests. Which one do want for your home?

Energy efficient lamp that looks like brains. (Designer: Solovyovdesign)





Every bulb looks like it’s melting. (Designer: Keita Ogawa)


Tighten the noose to turn it off and loosen it to brighten the lights. (Designer: mintpass)




Rise and Shine is a tribute to the Edison lightbulb which helped accelerate us into industrial era but after 130 years, it seems the light is finally dimming. The lightbulb will soon be banned from the EU and similar measures are taking place all over the world. In honor, this cheeky presentation shows the powerful rise of the lightbulb in a symbolic way – the brevity of existence. (Designer: Joost Wever)


Hang up lights to suit your mood simply by clipping on electro-luminescent sheets of paper to a hard-wire clip called the Pinch. (Designer: Shinyoung Ma)




This series of light bulbs take on forms which have gone way out of line, appearing as bulbous forms  extending from industrial lamp shades. they take on various sizes and shapes, large masses taking over  and in some cases, appearing as if they are almost starting to consume the pieces of furniture in which  they are placed. (Designer: Pieke Bergmans)



It’s about the size of a credit card and powered by a small cell. You can carry this light in your pocket or wallet. (Designers: Hyun Jin Yoon & Eun Hak Lee)




It’s hard to think of a light source as mundane as the naked bulb. In a surprising twist, the Lamp/Lamp gives the lowly light bulb a new and delightfully absurd personality by simply adding an extra socket. (Designer: Hironao Tsuboi) (buy)



Ever tried taking a high speed photo of a water drop falling from a tap? This design is very similar to it.  (Designer: Tanya Clarke)

Olivier Rousteing for Balmain ( history of fashion )


Just three weeks after Balmain announced that it was parting ways with Christophe Decarnin, its creative director of five years, comes the news that fellow Frenchman Olivier Rousteing is taking over.
Rousteing's debut for Balmain will take place during Paris Fashion Week this coming October, with a collection for spring/summer 2012. He told WWD how he wanted to ensure that the label, which was founded by Pierre Balmain in 1945, "always remains one of the leading brands that others look to as a reference".
