Here’s the latest from NOTCOT’s London-based editor and resident zoologist, Justine Aw as she checks out Clerkenwell Design Week 2013.Revitalizer from Merve Kahraman, a wax-lamp that re-creates itself. The wax lampshade melts over time, dripping into the mold below to reform the shade. The result is an ever-changing sculpture, but also a room that smells of candlewax. More photos of the Revitalizer and Revitalizer 2 in the House of Detention during Clerkenwell Design Week and a video of the lamp in action from the designer on the next page!

Le Studio Vit, basé du côté de Londres composé des designers suédois Helena Jonasson et Veronica Dagnert nous présentent Globe Lights, une collection de luminaires pendentifs en céramique avec réflecteur métallique en forme de sphère.
Chaque pendentif peut être utilisé de façon autonome comme source lumineuse d’appoint, ou d’une manière indirecte en étant couplé avec une demi-sphère d’acier blanc et brillant.
Un dispositif lumineux plein de poésie…
Création présentée à Milan lors de la dernière Milan Design Week 2013.

The collector's house. It's a love affair from afar. Lust and avarice and greed. I want. I covet. People will talk. Gossip and snicker and bite. I'm hooked. It's a bad habit I just don't want to break. I'm in love. Not the collector but the house ... and the collections. By Selldorf Architects.

The flaghsip stores in Milan, Pavia and Verona of the well-known italian brand of make-up were launched with a concept all made by Hangar Design Group and they mean the debut of Deborah Milano in the specialized retail.
In the heart of the Milano shopping area, at 58 in Corso Buenos Aires, was opened a few months ago the new Deborah Milano Store signed by Hangar Design Group, which was followed by the openings of Pavia and Verona, which enact the entry of Deborah Milano in the specialized retail.

Bright and airy, the store confirms the importance of the solutions about materials and colors choosen to return a appropriate mood to the needs of the client: the atmosphere is thin and neutral while the concept adopts a rational design and exhibition in an environment of great uniformity and visual unity, to emphasize the various shades and shapes of the cosmetics.

The store outside is candid, amplified by the reflective surfaces of the furnitures and the iridescent panels on the walls, which echo the vibrancy of the color fading in the neutrality of the variations of white. The interiors refuse any color variations to give space to the bright color of make up, true identity of the brand.
