"Mrs Robinson has found her place in life and has learned to stick to her principles. Mrs Robinson knows how to dress – and she very much knows how to keep her secrets. Mrs Robinson wears a bright outfit. Six fine lines form rectangles on the front side, slightly displaced but never misplaced. The overall impression is discreet, a perfect outfit for many occasions. With a light touch the rectangles on the front can be opened and Mrs Robinson reveals her inner life. Colourful patterns adorn the sides of containers giving order, guidance and diversification. Every thing has its place in Mrs Robinson’s life."

2.the Loopy Light by Jane Blease



crafted from 1.5mm Plywood. This flexible plywood lampshade has an internally routed lily pattern which grown through the wood when lit. Simply screw into your existing lampholder, bend into form and hold in place with the metal dowel provided. The veneer lights go into much greater detail, and include beautifully wood burnt holes and intricate hand embroidered red thread detail.


3. Transcluent wooden panel


With breakthrough in technology, we now have a see through translucent wooden panel. With the core technology now developed, almost any material can be made to let light pass through it irrespective of density and thickness of the materials. Sandwiched between series of thin, narrow pieces of wood, the vertical strips that help light move from one face to the other are visible as tall thin bars. In spite of the image composing of various vertical pixels, the mind stitches the image back together when viewed from a distance. Designed by Luminoso, just imagine the utilities this high- tech hybrid material can be deployed to from structural walls to room dividers etc.
