Reddish Studio

Some more cool work from Reddish

'Louis 900 is a series of lamps made by the use of antique furniture legs from various periods and origins. A simple set of actions transforms each antique leg into a contemporary light.Although sharing the same minimalist structure, the different antique styles add their own story to the final design.'

And another fantastic Menorah; 'Menorah is made of old candlesticks from around the world. These rescued candlesticks, which once played an important part in different family ceremonies, are now reused and united to form a candelabrum. The different parts of the Menorah are now sharing their life stories.'

Stuart Haygarth

People often ask me, especially journos, who my favourite creator is from the Cool Green Stuff book. I could sit on the fence and say, 'there are so many wonderful designers I really can't choose'...but I will say I was tickled pink when told that Stuart Haygarth's 'Millennium Chandelier' would be on the cover of the UK version of the book (called Cool Hunting Green in non-US markets).

This is another creation from Stuart, called 'Spectacle', created in 2006. Stuart's website says; 'Spectacle is created from over 1000 pairs of prescription spectacles which are linked together to resemble a traditional tiered chandelier. By using prescriptive spectacles which were once an essential tool for seeing an interesting analogy is drawn between their old and new purposes. A mirror ball light effect is produced as the light is refracted through the several layers of lenses.'

Sculp(IT)

Pieter Peerlings & Silvia Mertens of Sculp(IT) in Antwerp, Belgium, have created this space from not very much space at all. Wedged between two city buildings and comprising only 60sqm of living space, they have managed to create somewhat of a statement about how much space not to use when developing accommodation.

There is even a bathtub on the roof! Remind me to drop in to Antwerp to see this one day.

Buster Simpson

You've gotta check out the fruits of this guy's thought patterns. This is one of Buster Simpson's creations as part of the Growing Vine Street project in Seattle.

He's been around a while and you can easily kill an hour or so admiring his past and present creations.
