Cirkel Wall Light by Daphna Laurens
Circle of Light
Daphne Laurens is a young Dutch designer best known for designing the Sofalamp and Fruitlamp for Cappellini. Her approach in merging fine and applied arts in her designs can be seen in the Cirkel wall light, shown at the Salone Satellite of the Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan. An exercise in circles and balance, the metal wall light makes a distinctively sculptural presence, even when switched off.

Product Inspiration
The Clay table from Desalto and the Chariot trolley from Casamania are both perfect matches for the round, sculptural shape of Daphna Laurens' Cirkel wall light.
The Dandelion light from LZF is also made up of multiple circles, albeit inspired by the natural shape of the dandelion flower. For something more flamboyant try the Lucky Eye OLED wall light / mirror from Blackbody.
We love the Spin silicone container from Finell and the Cyclope mirror from Moustache, as they both make a strong sculptural presence.

Furniture from Recycled Materials
Furniture designers have long been fascinated by the potential of using discarded materials, a trend accelerated by the recent clamour for all things recycled, upcycled and repurposed. Here is a small selection of designs which have caught our eye.
Terrazzo Things from Lick My Brick
There was a time when the use of marble was largely restricted to floors, posh kitchen counters and grave statutes. And then, at some point around the mid-noughties, marble was everywhere. Could the same be happening to terrazzo?
Geometric Inspirations by John Eric Byers
American artist-designer John Eric Byers cites, amongst others, Donald Judd and Richard Serra as sources of his inspiration. The influence of these American masters of minimalism are clear to see from the furniture he has created.
