soft light

My friends are great-- they are constantly sending me awesome art and fashion related links. A friend and I are working on a top secret project that may morph into rhyme & reason's light + fashion that's unveiled below. These creations are beautiful knitwear pieces on their own. The soft glow of the LEDs through the white yarn is simply to die for.

"rhyme&reason" is an exploration in using light as a material to create transformative fashions. Reflecting on the change from day to night, inconspicuous white knitwear is enlivened by illumination, creating a sense of magic and mystery for the wearer.When not being worn, the pieces double in function as lamps, avoiding the fate of hanging neglected in a closet.

fish food

Tired of taking care of that fish tank mess? Want a herb garden that you can cook with? Short on space?

Mathieu Lehanneur (who, by the way, is an amazing designer), designed a system called "Local River," inspired by the Locavore movement that would feed and entertain.

"This DIY fish-farm-cum-kitchen-garden is based on the principle of aquaponics coupled with the exchange and interdependence of two living organisms - plants and fish. The plants extract nutrients from the nitrate-rich dejecta of the fish. In doing so they act as a natural filter that purifies the water and maintains a vital balance for the eco-system in which the fish live."

Sweet!

There has been another take on this type of fish tank called "Floating Garden"... the main selling point being a clean tank.

MIA & Creepy Crawlers

No, not the singer.

I've been MIA because it's going to be finals week on Monday! So, because that I've had less time to dig around and find cool things for you all.

But have no fear, because when I come back, I'm going to post some of my own designs!
(As well as some pretty kick ass stuff I've been scraping up from the internet).


Anyway, here are come creepy crawlers for you all.

Flow + Warner's current project, the "Beacon" series, involves a cheeky take on the natural world—by using fake bugs! Hoards of 'em crawl up the lamp bases designed by Kartell, Phillippe Starck, Martin Baas, and others, and swarm towards the bulbs.
