SevenUp by Tim Baute
Chandeliers have always been very romantic design pieces in every space, but according to Tim Baute they’ve also been extremely massive. With this in mind Baute designed a chandelier which would keep the nostalgia, but give it a lighter touch.

Wajima by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Japan Brand
The Wajima collection is the fruit of a new collaboration between designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Japan Brand. A series of accessories for the home that incorporate traditional Japanese lacquer techniques and finishes.
“The Lamp is a luminous box that highlights the magnificence of lacquer while presenting large shiny surfaces reflecting light. Thanks to the red glow diffused by the light when switched on, a very subtle mood emanates from the lacquer and creates a smooth and captivating atmosphere.”
“The Desk Light is an assemblage of three elements that remind distinctly of very traditional lacquerware shapes. The final piece that derives from this simple combination suggests the infinite possibilities offered by the material and its classical elements. It shows that familiar forms can give birth to different and mysterious contemporary objects. The use of LEDs in both lights enhances the impact of the marriage between ancient and recent techniques.”

Plain Lighting by Jin Kuramoto
“We have expressed a visual phenomenon which produces a three-dimensional impression of given objects when combined with strong colors.
This results in complementary colors and light emission causing it to resemble a state when the moon loses the three-dimensional impression of the sphere, and to shine similarly to a planar like mirror.”
- Jin Kuramoto
Exhibition: Complimentary Colors, by Jin Kuramoto, at L’Archivolto Libreria Galleria,
April 22-27 Milan, Italy.
