Thanks to meeting and working with designers, architects, photographers and artists,  Diamantini & Domeniconi are able to offer a family of objects different from each other but united by the lightness of an existing design, and always ironic.

For over forty years the brand Diamantini & Domeniconi guarantees the quality of items made entirely in Italy, combining the use of industrial technology to “know how” typical of artisan production.  This is clearly evident in their collection of Cuckoo Clock.

Braun launched their collection of watches and clocks in 1971 designed by German designers Rams and Lubs. Braun watches offer a minimalist but fashionable look for both men and women.

The classic collection of watches exemplify the clean, modernist design that Rams is renown for. Devoid of decoration and superfluous elements, this is a collection of beautifully minimalist consumer goods.

Lately I have had a keen interest in the beauty that comes with “old stuff”

In today’s day and age where technology and modern design seems to be taking over the world it is nice to look back on some simple designs and appreciate their beauty and simplicity.

Every so often we find ourselves needing to be inspired.  It is food for the soul and makes one feel alive.  To aspire to be something better or to live your life a little differently than you perhaps did the day before.

Recently I have come across many beautiful designs for your home that can fill you with the urge or ability to do or feel something.

Be open to your dreams, people.  Embrace the distant shore.  Because our mortal journey is over all too soon

Designed by Rikke Hagen .  Once again Rikke has designed an exclusive glass for Normann Copenhagen – one that combines elegance, pleasure and function in a simple, Nordic design.

Whiskey conveys an elegant expression, and the entire experience revolves around how you hold the glass in your.  Aroma, temperature and volume all come together and the wide opening completes the indulgence.

Rikke explains ” Just like the Cognac glass I have designed, my inspiration for the Whiskey glass stems from my passion fore collecting stones on the beach.  The act of playing with stones in one’s hand is an serene, meditative movement can be summed up in a functional and aesthetic design.  The curve at the bottom provides a natuaral grasp for the glass, and the little bubble elegantly elevates the ice cubes like little ice blocks”

Designed by Kenneth Grange an industrial designer born in London in 1929.

Kenneth Grange views product design as an opportunity for innovation rather than merely as a means to aesthetic improvement, which is why he sees it as such an important part of the manufacturing process.

The Type1228 wall light is one of these innovations. The two tone shade is coloured on the outside and white on the inside giving a good working light and a pleasant ambience around the room.

The Type1228 was also the first product by Angelpoise where the shade can be rotated vertically.

Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion.

Seeing only limited distribution, it was little known. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products. There are only two known surviving examples of the poster outside government archives.

The poster was third in a series of three. The previous two posters from the series, “Freedom Is In Peril. Defend It With All Your Might” (400,000 printed) and “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory” (800,000 printed)
