retegui & marble

i'm not typically drawn to marble as a design medium, i often find it too hard and cold. but the french design company retegui softens it somehow, everything that they create is quietly, softly, stunning...

see more of what retegui is doing with marble here, if you like what you see already. enjoy!

new likes from w concept

gan

there is alot to love about this company gan. they are india-based and offering up a number of products made by hand, "gently"...super textural items that "become a system of shapes and volumes that redefine the concept of habitability."

gan works in india developing local economies wherever they present, they are also an active participant in "child protection programs and sponsor a women's development project in a rural setting." don't you love all of that?

i was first drawn to the bold, perfectly over-thick textural element to most of gan's pieces. they offer a particular warmth in pattern and bring a reminder of natural sensibilities to spaces. see more of what gan offers up here, & enjoy!

atelier robotiq: a means to making things

rotterdam-based atelier robotiq is a design company that "experiments with fibers and robotic weaving techniques to made 3D lightweight structures with geometrical weave patterns." and their "ufo lamps" have captured my light loving attention today. have a look at their video below too...i love seeing a designer's process.

enjoy!
