Not only for aesthetics, the versatile top also doubles the lifespan of the product by dividing overall use between two sides. Lightweight and easy to assemble, you need only choose one of many bold colors and choose the top side that suits your mood! Get it here.

Interieur 2014: condensation droplets pattern the inside of the balloon-shaped shade of this lamp by French designer Arturo Erbsman, which has won an Interieur Award at the Belgian design event.
Arturo Erbsman‘s Atmos lamp consists of an aluminium base that holds a light source and a blown-glass bubble that forms a diffuser on top.
A pool of water sits in the bottom of the glass balloon, just above the covered bulb.
When illuminated, the heat from the light source causes the liquid to evaporate and then condense on the inside of the cooler glass.
“Progressively, the glass seems to crystallise, micro droplets evolve and merge together to form drops that become significantly bigger,” said Erbsman.
The droplets coalesce and become heavier, eventually running down the sides of the shade and back into the pool.
Water on the surface of the glass helps to diffuse the light emitted by the lamp.
The lamp was first presented at Salone Satellite in Milan earlier this year, when it was awarded second prize in the exhibition’s contest for emerging designers.
Collaboration between jewelry design Emily Green and Melbourne-based designer Dale Hardiman, Up Up Light is a pendant light made up of stacked handmade polymer clay beads. If you are a fan of Emily’s jewelry and want more, this is the perfect accessory for your home! Unfortunately due to the high demand for these beauties, you might have to wait awhile to get your hands on them since they are all handmade. Worth the wait though, don’t you think?

The building by the Irish firm provides services for approximately 320 children and young adults under 18 years old with physical, intellectual or sensory impairments, and their families.
“We have focused on creating specific spatial experiences to be enjoyed all users at the centre regardless of disability, and on enhancing that experience through design features which would not trigger any distraction or discomfort for users – in particular users with autism spectrum disorders,” SATA co-founder Mark Thompson told Dezeen.
Black mullions that create a framework for the glass structure also disguise interior partitions between therapy rooms that run around the perimeter of the space.
“In some ways, we tried to express the ethos of the centre through the external expression of the building,” said Thompson.
“The perimeter glazing at ground level, for instance, creates an open and equal relationship with the site, on all sides, just as the centre does with the surrounding area and community.”
A polished aluminium parapet that tops the glass-clad structure reflects the sky and surrounding foliage, blending the structure into its landscaped setting.
At the opening ceremony for the centre, the client said the building’s roof was a “cloaking device”, that disguises the building in the right weather and light conditions.
On the interior, the therapy spaces are accessed from a white corridor that circulates around a central island. The island houses a staff room, toilets, storage and treatment rooms.
A long set of clerestory windows over the corridor provides a natural light source for the spaces in the centre of the building.
The architects were asked to use a neutral colour palette throughout the interior of the building, and to avoid using design features that might negatively impact on some of the children that use the centre.
“We were asked by the client to use a limited and unsaturated palette of colour and to avoid repetition of patterns in the design,” said the architect.
The limited colour palette led the architects to focus on the use of light, informing the decision to give the building a glass facade and interior skylights.
The “bright and spacious” rooms situated by the entrance of the building are shaded by a translucent grey rubber screen to give privacy for treatment rooms and a children’s play area.
“We chose a composite rubber membrane for its specific transparency as it permits light and view from inside, whilst keeping activity sufficiently private within,” explained Thompson.
Shooté avec un objectif anamorphique monté sur une caméra EPIC de Red, ce court-métrage réalisé par Neels Castillon en collaboration avec Vague & Lame est une véritable ôde au street-skateboarding et plus précisément à la scène parisienne qui le compose.

He picked up discarded pieces of industrial equipment and tools, amassing a set of individual unused pieces.
Van Bleiswijk decided to repurpose these items by combining them into useful furniture and lighting products.
“As we were cleaning up the mess, I used many items we found in the workshop and combined them into several objects,” said Van Bleiswijk. “Old machines, that were ready to be thrown away, ventilation pipes, and leftover pieces of wood and paint formed the base of these unique items.”
Different metal elements are bolted and welded together, creating pieces that stack up like totem poles.
A curved section of ductwork is used to hold a rectangular blue cabinet off the ground. The cabinet door is opened by pulling a valve wheel stuck on the centre of the door.
The assemblage sits on a grey-painted wooden transportation palette.
Another piece of beige pipe supports an orange platform, on which a lamp with a copper disk diffuser is placed.
Part of a pylon-like stand from one of the designer’s Construction Lamps is sandwiched in a tower between a base plinth and a metal balanced-arm lamp on top.
Another lighting piece comprises an illuminated tube secured at either end by a pair of clamps, stood on a metal bracket bolted to a four-legged base.
The pieces are on display in the studio space that Van Bleiswijk shares with partner and fellow designer Kiki van Eijk.
The duo’s combined exhibition is open for the duration of Dutch Design Week, until 26 October. Both have also designed rugs for ICE International that are on show for the event.
