Sempe w103 Pendant Lamp by Inga Sempé

Posted: 21 Mar 2012 01:41 AM PDT



Designer Inga Sempé have designed the colorful Sempe w103 Pendant Lamp for Swedish lighting company Wästberg.

A Sempé w103 pendant lamp can be a single hanging shade or a combination of shades. They can be attached on a long rail for linear combinations or on smaller rails, where they can be joined together like Meccano to create polygons. The rail structure is thin enough to avoid the feeling of a heavy, hanging structure, and the lines are also softened by the round shapes of the shades. These exist in 7 very different tones - bright, soft, clear, dark - and can be arranged in any color combination.

Just like the idea of many colorful balloons hanging around...

KITE Lounge chair by Shin Azumi for Fornasarig

Posted: 18 Mar 2012 07:14 AM PDT



For Italian furniture company Fornasarig, Shin Azumi has designed the KITE chair, a lounge chair that looks like a traditional box kite.

At first glance, this slender lounge appears to be too fragile to sit in. However, due to its masterly construction, the slim seat is able to support a significant weight in a comfortable and relaxed way.

The KITE chair is delicate and lightweight, while simultaneously retaining a strong structural beauty. Sitting on it, one fells embraced and like floating in the breeze.

Structure in solid beech wood; the seat has springs made with elastic webbing and could be covered in fabric and/or leather.
