Crystal Virus

Crystal Virus is an art+design project by Pieke Bergman. A series of virus-formed crystal vases are fluently crawling over tables and chairs. Big hot crystal bubbles are pressed onto wooden furniture and while the crystal burns into the wood, some of the woods texture is integrated into the vase. They leave black burned stains in their confrontation with the furniture, but still they must be regarded as friendly beings.

Hit the bottle.

Sybille Homann manufactures the most of her products from consumer glassware like bottles and window glass - unimpressive material, industry products of every-day-use. I love this idea!

Let there be light!

Atelier Areti consists of a multidisciplinary design team, made of product designers and architects working in close association with highly skilled craftsmen. Atelier Areti designs architecture and building related products, with a focus on furniture and lighting. Often products are initially developed within a specific architectural project and later expanded upon. When possible, Atelier Areti manages the production process to keep full control over the finished product, although they also appreciate working as a consultant for an experienced producer.

They are committed to the notion of sustainability through quality. The aim is to create products that last, both through the quality of the design and the material.

The company is based in the UK and Sweden. Visit their website: www.atelierareti.com
