Holmegaard Table Lamp



I am in love with this contemporary Table Lamp and want it besides my bed pronto. Maria Berntsen for Holmegaard, the glass division of Royal Scandinavia, has designed the lamp. The hand-blown glass base and the black natural parchment shade makes it a winner in my books , , , , , , , , ,

The Coin Lamp

The Coin Lamp is a quirky little lamp by Jethro Macey. As the name suggest, the lamp has a coin slot and lights up only when you insert a coin in it. Turned on by a coin-operated switch, the lamp is set to predetermined time by an internal mechanism. Unfortunately it’s not available in the market currently.

For modern living individuals, the need to rev up the usual home with trendy and eco-friendly designs has become an overwhelming desire. But while these home add-ons are surely available in most furniture shops, nothing beats being original and apparently most of them come from a certain point of origin like perhaps workshops.

It is through these gatherings where most eco-friendly and unique designs originate. System Reload is one such gathering wherein you can see the gathering of modern designers where new and alluring home enhancements can really brighten up your home with the eco-friendly touch at that.

Urban people nowadays long for things that are natural and green, with eco-friendly designs becoming especially popular. “System Reload”, an international network of designers for sustainability, takes green thinking to another level at their London workshop. They’re taking part in a unique three-day event for anyone interested in sustainability and social design.

Apparently, seeing the props in the usual plays and stage musicals are not mainly works of wild imagination. For renowned designer Tony Duquette who is best known for designing costumes, this has gone as far as marketing his home designs as well.

Among them include this Marsan chair which can be traced to the 1950’s. Antiques as you may categorize them, they can cost up to $4,400 along with a potential consideration of his designed chandelier offered for sale at about $20,000.00.

Baker is making the designer’s fanciful aesthetic available on a wider basis with the Selected Works of Tony Duquette, a 19-piece collection that includes reproductions of his furniture, lighting and accessories. The pieces range from the elegant, 18th century-inspired Marsan chair, designed in the 1950s for Duquette’s one-man show at the Louvre, to the wackily whimsical Abalone Chandelier. Duquette designed the original for a house in Los Angeles but liked it so much that he eventually bought it back and put it in his legendary Beverly Hills home, Dawnridge. This vision of golden-age glamour doesn’t come cheap — the chair is almost $4,400, the chandelier a little over $20,000 — but there’s a lot of stylistic bang for the buck.

We will always have surplus books in our home and perhaps the issue here would be how to get rid of them. In fact, ask yourself again and wonder if you should!

Books are good for reading and perhaps donating them or selling them to people who may need them is a good recourse. But did you know you could also turn some books into vases that could be good furnishings for your home?

All it really takes is creativity and imagination and you can come up with the unique home furnishings that may be better than buying any in the market. So before you dispose those unwanted books, see first if you can make use of them in any other way.

My idea of using second hand books came around after doing research into common unwanted objects. One of the most common unwanted objects that can be found at either charity shops, car boot sales and sometimes on the streets are books. I discovered that the glue in old books make them extremely difficult to recycle. Aware of this I challenged myself to turn the second hand books that I had been collecting, into desirable objects such as furniture, lighting and ornaments.
