eyes

lamps

i find it always so hard to find or choose a lamp that suits my house. too big or too small, too old fashioned or to modern. i do like mark eden schooley's 'ethereal' lamp.

blush

blush chair by sofie brünner.

blush is a unique lounge chair that aims at stimulating the senses.

working from the concept of haptic design (design that stimulate the sense of touch), blush has a contrasting and playful appearance that invites the user to explore the materials, construction and comfortability. 

overall blush has a surprisingly austere expression that is softened by the blushing felt loops that flourish across the chair.
