Design Freak



As anoyone who has read my blog over time or knows me for that matter, I am a total design freak. I find common objects that are designed to be unique pieces of art to be quite stunning. Designers like Alessi, Georg Jensen, Phillipe Starck, Henningson, Itala etc are all present in our home, in everything from Alessi Hanging Man Container's to Jensen spoons.

One of aspects of design that really gets me going is the use of common objects in multi-purpose designs, especially where light is involved. I have a huge hankering for lights in all sorts of shapes, colours, sizes and tones.

One of my favorite online stores - http://www.gnr8.biz/ Generate has an outstanding collection of moulded plastic pieces of furniture that are also lights.

As we piece by piece decorate our apartment to our liking, each aspect of the apartment is uniquly styled to provide a specific them and of course to flow form one area to another.

Our downstairs balconey is an area which needs a lot of work, as it flows off our main living area and has a dramatic impact on the "look & Feel" of the downstairs area.

My plan is to have at one end three of the Bloom Pot's with lush green trees to provide a backdrop for the side wall and to help soften the outlook. The pots act as a soft muted light as well, so there will be no need to have a harsh outdoor light for the balconey and will help when turned on create more of a mood lighting down that end of the room too.
