Porcelain Chandeliers

Butterfly Ball Chandelier

Simple Pendants

The natural translucence of porcelain makes for a wonderful material to use for lighting ... as it emits a wonderful warm glow.

The lighting above have all been designed by Diffuse, who have designed for private residences around the world, hotels, restaurants and even the Eurostar Premier Business Departure lounge at St Pancras Station, London.

Inspirational Tuesday

What a wonderful way to start your Tuesday...

Austrian designer Peter Pilotto is a wonderful designer to watch.

First launching his label in Spring 2008, his new S/S 2010 collection is absolutely devine.

But firstly Fall 09....

I know he is available in London @ Matches

The clever boy has also collaborated with AnOther magazine to design a stunning new print for a Mismo canvas shopper....

This is most definitely on my wish list ( Price £249.00)

This beautiful Lanvin dress has such a beautiful architectural structure about it, that instantly reminded me of the Rocking Chair by the company SixInch which I recently saw at 100% Design

MEYSTYLE .... LED Wallpaper

MEYSTYLE’s mission is to rescue walls from the background, integrating bold patterns with LED lights and crystals to create a deep visual experience that transforms walls and wallpaper into works of art.

I met the gorgeous Ekaterina Yaschuk at The 100% Design Show recently and fell in love with the concept of wallpaper and LED lights incorporated together. Swarovski crystals can also be added to accentuates the impact of the LEDs.

The delightful Ekaterina and her sister Maria are Russian born and both have design degrees from London. The feature of incorporating LED's into wallpaper was invented by the sisters in 2004 and remains unique to their company until this day.

This would be gorgeous in a little girls room, imagine with the crystals....

A very stylish study....

And they even do silk fabrics....
