Steinway-Sons-flagship-store-by-OgataYoshiki-SALT-IkawaAtsushi-WataseIkuma-Tokyo-Japan-18

“We have designed the Asian flagship store of Steinway & Sons in Tennoz Isle. Our aim was to create a space where their clients can feel Steinway’s craftsmanship, philosophy, history, and the beauty of their instruments. Clients will feel attached to everything about Steinway in this showroom, beyond the concept of “objects”.

Patents… Patents are made out of brass, and baked in a sand mold. This traditional manufacturing process represents their craftsmanship. Each plate has patent number and name engraved, sealing their traditions and histories. Flooring… We installed a Herringbone floor to reproduce Steinway’s woodworking craftsmanship spirit in the interior space. We used 5 kinds of wood (beech, bubinga, walnut, maple, and mahogany), which are also used for making pianos. These details add dignity, which is backed by traditions and records, to the interior.”

dent1

The starting point for many of our projects is manufacturing methods and materials. In the case of the “Dent” lamps this experimentation started with clay and to experiment with the traditional clay throwing process. By forming a rounded tube and then squeezing it a “Dent effect” is created that causes the shape to warp. This dent effect creates a three dimensional pendant that provides multiple profiles depending on its viewing angle. The pendants are available in two sizes and three colours.

LZF Lamps’ inventive 2016 campaign, Telling Tales, features a collection of stories wherein the lamps support and illuminate the lives of the story’s characters. The award winning, internationally acclaimed company was founded by Marivi Calvo and Sandro Tothill twenty years ago after they designed a lamp for their home in Valencia, Spain, from wood veneer which they discovered had an ethereal quality to diffusing light. Timberlite, the ecologically treated veneer they’ve since developed, allows the wood to be hand bent into every shape their unstoppable imaginations allow —from a suspension lamp inspired by Agatha Christie, to the giant Koi Lamp the firm designed and unveiled at Milan’s Euroluce/Salon del Mobile in 2015.

skeleton-candles-animals-pyropet-thorunn-arnadottir-dan-kovaland-201

Does it get any cuter than a tiny animal-shaped candle? Probably not, but it does get creepier when it melts, revealing a skeleton. First delightful, then scary Pyropet candles do just that!

The project started by Thorunn Arnadottir and Dan Kovaland was successful from the very beginning, reaching the funding goal on Kickstarter just in 4 days. Now they are selling their candles all over the world.

Thorunn Arnadottir came up with the idea: “One day as I watched the chubby body of a jolly Santa Claus shaped candle slowly melt, deform, and perish into a sad pool of wax I wondered if I could elevate this common place ritual sacrifice into a true theatre of the macabre in wax.”
