"mona hatoum is a lebanese-born artist who is now living and working in london. her work explores issues of fear, fascination and the body, expressed through performance, video, installations and photography. her 'hanging garden' consists of 770 jute sacks, stacked to head level. all together, they form a 10 meter long wall, which looks much like the sandbag barricades used as defense from enemy gunfire during battle and other war zones such as checkpoints and border crossings. despite the associations we have with the image of these barricades, the sacks are filled with seeds that sprout, greening the wall and expressing more of an image of growth and prosperity. the piece deals with the friction between notions of home, security, warmth and their opposites."]]>
"Danish lighting manufacturer Unique Copenhagen shows off their Flowerpot and Utzon lamps in these installation photos."]]>
LUDUS consists of only three cushion parts: a seat cushion, a back cushion and a corner back cushion (otpional) - and a lacquered MDF back part (library). LUDUS affords one a lot of opportunities to sit, lie, play, work or recline. It is up to you. If necessary you can transform it back into a classical club class suite for more serious purposes or, with the arrangement of seat cushions, you can make it into a bed, if your friends really don't want to leave. The back part incorporates a library shelf, which can serve as a practical storage space for books or all other items you need. It all makes for a delightful cozy corner in your home. The seat cushions and the libraries are connected and fixed through connectors which are placed invisible under the libraries. With their soft surface the connectors also act as contact area/foot between the library and the floor to protect both. So you can enjoy living with LUDUS without slipping cushions and scratched floors. vialink http://theblogonthebookshelf.blogspot.com vialink]]>

The Beam bed amazes with the particular features of its structure, which is inspired by a figure of elementary simplicity and beauty: the sun. An original system of boards forms the base for the mattress, opening up in a sunburst arrangement from a central fulcrum. The way of supporting the mattress is therefore innovative and unorthodox, but decidedly functional and practical. Beam shows its respect for the environment by making itself as small when it is packaged to be transported. Added to this sun element is a component that produces a strongly scenographic effect: light. The insertion of a lighting system for the base, which irradiates beams of light like a sunburst through the sun-rays-like opening, generates a seductive light-shadow effect that makes the atmosphere of the bedroom unique. ]]>

The Bravit candle is a decorative highlight for any table. The arrangement of the wicks in the centre of the candle forms an almost graphic design that becomes visible through the thin wax layer. The design is traced by the burning wicks. As the candle evolves through the various phases of burning wicks. As the candle evolves through the various phases of burning, Bravit continuously invokes new atmospheres. The candle undergoes a constant metamorphosis as two, three, or sometimes even five flames at the same time assume the shape of a transient work of art. Bravit will not only burn for hours, but the perfectly orchestrated drama of its flames will also become the focal point of conversation. The candle is made of a special mixture of wax, the wicks of cotton. The contents live up the promise hinted at in the exquisite packaging. An exciting and luxurious gift ! Bravit is available with diffrent patterns and in 4 differents sizes : XL, L, M and S. For the Model S, the cander holder is sold separately.]]>
