innermost beauty

If the work wasn't so absolutely delicious - I might be irritated at the 3 emails in 3 days. Yes, I am on the mailing list, but really.....

I am an instant fan of the MnM lights. Simple, modern with a dash of zen. Like their other designs, their work is at once experimental and instantly classic. I can imagine any of their pieces placed in a futuristic movie, the kind that has everyone dressed from the 30's while cars fly overhead. The MnM lights would be in the spacious entryway of the mansion of a stylish villan, while the protagonist saunters in "escorted" by the villans' henchmen.

As you might have guesses...I love movies too!

good design : solar, so good

Fireflies in a mason jar; it's like an illusion of a charming evening somewhere in the South. In actual fact it's the brainchild of those crazy British kids from SUCK UK.

I live in the Bay Area - out of the fog bank - so solar power is very appealing, and appropriate. There is not a lot of modern solar design yet, but the designers of these products are changing that. I definitely have the solar house numbers on my wish list - and the boys would have a lot of fun with the helicopter.

Keep up the "good design"!
