ment with larger or smaller bits and holes. The more you’ll expose the reinforcing wire,

light tale

53

Inspired by a range of shapes and structures, but mostly by a type of windmill, Light

Tale is a floor lamp in which the sense of balance and good proportion work together

to serve functionality.

The geometric shape of the shade tames and gives a sense of touch to the light

which is otherwise an indefinite element. It acts mostly the same way the windmill

harnesses wind to transform it into energy, only this time energy is transformed into

light. The tail at the back of the shade gives comfort and ease in directing the light

source to the desired location, as the tail of the windmill follows the wind so does the

lamp follow the user. The shade provides a cone of light suitable for reading or writ-

ing but can also be used just for creating a warm ambient in the room. The contrast

between the shaded and the illuminated area is well defined due to the opening and

form of the shade.

materials are chosen to be straight forward and to mix the feeling of the cold and stur-

diness of the metal with the warmth of wood. Together they balance the lamp making

it both sturdy and delicate at the same time.

59

Albe is an apart homeware collection that consists of kitchen containers, inspired by

the edible mushrooms that grow on Romanian soil. Picking mushrooms after rainy

summer days is an old habit in rural areas close to forests. These mushrooms have

particular names, according to the areas where they grow. Sometimes their names are

so amusing that we decided to keep them and try to express them in English. The only

sure way to know which species of mushrooms we were talking about is to use their

scientific Latin name. In this manner, anyone can identify a species and correlate it

with its geographical area and naming.

Set your table with this unique matte white ceramic plates and bowl set. The name

and concept comes from designer Dragoș Motica childhood, when his mother always

reminded him not to place hot dishes directly on the table, so as not to damage the

varnished veneer. with that “fear” in mind and a little technological effort, we man-

aged to put into practice the concept of plates that support themselves only on three

points. contemporary and minimal, Flying Saucers will definitely make a nice serving

for any occasion. It could be, as well, an inspirational gift idea. The set comes in a

beautiful cardboard box.

you’ve got flowers! translates the traditional mailbox into a flower vase where you

can receive flowers instead of letters. It aims to challenge the way people communi-

cate their messages, ideas and feelings in the modern world. Today communication

is more often taking place in the online through e-mails or social media and personal

letters are less common than in the past. Also, the traditional mailbox has been re-

placed with the virtual Inbox. Flowers are still a way of conveying a delicate, personal

message. And the mailbox was usually used to receive and collect personal letters.

So why not bring these two elements together? why not revive the mailbox and send

or receive flowers instead of e-mails? you’ve got flowers! offers a modern and simple

way of communicating a classic and personal message. you can hang the ceramic

vases or just leave them on a flat surface and so you have different options for dis-

playing your flowers and for creating different moods in your interiors.
