Hasta La Ideas

If you are going to the Milan Furniture Fair this year make sure you stop by 010-020 at Via Ventura 3. 

Seven young design studios that have one thing in common: they call The Netherlands their home. 

For Dutch people it is very clear what the numbers 010 – 020 stand for … let me help me you a bit… area-codes! 010= Rotterdam and 020= Amsterdam …

..010 – 020

A little while ago I told you how my friend Lisette Scheers, who lives here in Kuala Lumpur had visited the Milan Furniture fair and she made some fantatsic images of the things she liked. You might remember this post about Paola Lenti's new collection or Ventura Lambrate…  today just a summary of all the designs she saw  at Fiera Rho, in lIsette her words: "This year not so inspiring – a lot of the same – and everyone uses the same colours : fluo, light blue, ocre yellow and light green" … not sure of you agree ? I hear what she is saying but I do like these warm and cozy little stools… called the Bambi chairs by Takeshi Sawada.

The Y-lamp by Monica Thurne and paper flowers by Singapore's design facility, they will change color once you put them in water. 

The coloured lamp bulbs – Designer : Lindstén Form Studio. 

The Yellow steel and wood chair by UNU Design Studio, the collection is called plica. Designers : Jean -Babtiste Goetgheluck & Marie Bequet.

The Foldable table – "term" by akka  – this was very cool.

… the amazing outdoor collection by Paola Lenti blew Lisette away! And it confirms one more time how important colors are. The ton-sur-ton styling works just perfect and I wish I could have walked around in this garden myself. 

If you could choose which gaden set would you get, the fuchsia, the blue or the ocre? I am in love with the pink wall. 

I will leave you just with these images today … enough inpsiration I believe

At Ventura Lambrata Lisette spotted these beautiful Porcelain lamps by Dutch designers Studio Wendy Maarten for us. The lamps are – inspired by the harbour of Rotterdam and shipbuilding, this handmade lamp is adjustable in height with a pulley system. The use of black porcelain gives this old mechanism a sturdy new look – .

Beautiful lamps by dmoch called the Teresa lights.  dmoch are David Ericsson, Ania Pauser and Marcus Berg. dmoch's studio is situated in Stockholm and their work is a reflection of them. – One of the key elements for DMOCH is to find the balance between life and honest objects from a holistic point of view. To combine poetic ideas in the future, contemporary and historical ways

to find unexplored areas of design. Humour is an important ingredient that permeates the work of DMOCH, both to develop in the profession as designers but also and to keep their insanity. –

dmoch's Teresa's lights and mobiles:

"The idea of the lamps is to add new values through interaction with different levels in the room. Allow the lights to become a part of the interior and the architecture. To elaborate how the shapes interact with their environment. The wall can be connected to the ceiling, the floor or other elements in the room. It’s not just light, but an object that connects other things. The user can take control over the lamp by changing its position each day, and at the same time change the environment it’s in.
Two counterweights in fabric with two different shades, two pulleys included. You can move the lamps as you please just fix the pulley where you want to have the light, together or apart, high or low."
