FRISBI

Suspension lamp

1978 Design: Achille Castiglioni

1978 Production: Flos

Frisbi illuminates a table top with a cone of precise light and also emits diffused and reflected light: all this in just one lamp.

The lamp is made of an opal polymethylmethacrilate disk with a hole in the centre which sheds direct light. Three fine steel cables distance the disc from the pressed mesh tube, so the socket is ventilated. In turn, the socket houses the sheet metal reflecting dome painted gloss-white on the inside and chromed on the outside. A black stem rigidly connected to the socket keeps the distances fixed and attenuates a pendulum effect if the lamp is accidentally bumped. Frisbi is composed of few elements which pack into a small space and are simple to mount.

iPad leaf

The iPad leaf is an authentic take on the ever growing apple accessory market, although there are many who have attempted this and are very quick after a release. The iPad leaf is a piece that has paid attention to the details. Available at chrisruffe.com

post it notes

 Flat panels on a multi-coloured wall slide, swing and roll out to create a secret tea shop in a São Paulo shopping centre.
It seems to be inspired by post it notes and has a very warm fun feeling

Checkout the new onemorning range, these guys are doing some really minimal cabinetry and loose furniture inspired by some early works by Dieter Rams. It is reasonably priced aswell considering the style and quality.

Paolo Deganello cont.

Born in Este in 1940, the Italian architect and designer Paolo Deganello studied architecture at Florence University from 1961 to 1966. In 1966 Paolo Deganello joined Andrea Branzi, Gilberto Corretti, and Massimo Morozzi in founding Archizoom Associati in Florence, named after the British group of architects known as Archigram and the journal "Zoom". Archizoom was part of the radical design movement in Italy, designing anti-design furniture, such as the corner set "Safari" and the "San Remo" palm-frond lamp (both 1968 for Poltronova). 
In 1973 Paolo Deganello collaborated with Gilberto Corretti on designing "Archizoon", a line in office chairs manufactured by Marcatré. By 1972 Archizoom Associati had disbanded itself. From 1972 until 1974 Paolo Deganello taught design at Florence University and the Architectural Association in London. With his students, Paolo Deganello investigated the requirements for good, comfortable seat furniture. These seat-furniture studies conducted by Paolo Deganello and his students bore fruit in such pieces as "AEO" (for Cassina), designed in 1973. In 1981 Paolo Deganello opened a studio in Florence. In 1982 Deganello designed "Torso", an asymmetrical chair for Cassina. In 1987 Deganello showed his "Documenta Chair" at "documenta 8" in Kassel. In his designs for chairs, Paolo Deganello wants the invididual structural elements of the chair to be visible and he often uses different materials for them. For Zanotta Paolo Deganello designed the unusually shaped pair of chairs "Re" and "Regina" in 1991. The legs and frames of these chairs are of steel, the seats are wickerwork, and the backs of leather.
Paolo Deganello showed work at numerous exhibitions, including "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape", the 1972 exhibition mounted by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

‘Cloud’ table by Lorens (PL)

Anna and Marek Lorens, the duo behind their namesake Warsaw-based architectural and design practice Lorens have recently realised this modular table whose unusual structure – as well as the colour – reminded us of that of a honeycomb. Composed from a number of hexagonal elements, the multifunctional table can either be used as a desk within an office environment or as an (undoubtedly decorative) element of a living room
