What a stunning image and in it truly spectacular lighting. The Decanter Lights by Lee Broom are made from crystal decanters that the artist finds at vintage shops. Some are left naturally transparent, and other get a polished gold finish. The Decanter Lights can be seen at Coquine – a West London bar that Lee Broom also designed.

Anyone can appreciate smart product design, and the Infinite USB is just that. My laptop has 2 USB ports and sometimes it’s just not enough. Apparently others agree or at least designer Gonglue Jiang did.
With Infinite UBS each plug is also a port, so there’s no limitation on how much tech you can use at one time. This project is already getting plenty of attention so hopefully this will be available soon. It has already won a 2010 IF Concept award. Learn more about this cool concept and talented design here.

What a stunning lamp! This piece instantly caught my eye, and the more I found out about it the more I liked it. First, it’s called Petals and designed by Gülnur Özdaglar. Second, and truly impressive I have to say, the round clear “petals” you see are actually made from used soda bottles. The petal like structures within the circles are made from cutting, heating, and hand drawing. Absolutely amazing. See more from the talented designer here.
Have a great weekend, and as always more great design finds coming on Monday!

You may have seen my post about this on our Facebook last week, but I wanted to share it here in case you missed it. Cube Works! Cube Works is a group of designers that make amazing artwork out of Rubik’s cubes! Instead of solving the cubes, these talented artists use them to create surprisingly accurate and amazing looking depictions of pop icons and pop art. Amazing.

Inspired by driving though Holland, the Viaduct Table has a shape based on the architecture with the same name. This gives it both character and a cool look, but also adds a convenient new feature to the table. Its shape naturally adds a small storage space, and you know that storage space is something you can never have too much of!

I’ve been paying a lot of attention to prints lately, and I’ve been seeing some good ones. My favorites are those that combine an inspirational message or words of wisdom with perfectly selected fonts or otherwise intriguing designs. I’ve always found it fascinating how a few little words can spark hours of thought and reflection. I hope that’s what you find in these wonderful prints.
These first 2 images are from Freya Ete, an amazingly talented artist who I actually just discovered last week via one of my favorite blogs Decor8. Her prints combine simple designs with words that are truly inspiring. Each and every one makes me stop and really think, and that is why I love them. And of course, they are beautiful too.
These next two are from the Etsy store of Laurel Denise. Probably most well known for her jewelry, I think these prints from owner/designer Laurel Smith are pretty fabulous.
The last and most simple comes from one of my favorite online shops MadeByGirl. I just ordered a print from her last week actually. I don’t have this one, but in looking though her designs today, this one really caught my eye. So simple, but the message is clear.
I hope at least one of these has inspired you today. I woudn’t mind having each and every one of these (if only I had enough walls!) All of these images are from their respective designers’ sites, so be sure to use the links to check them out.
