  2. I’m in loooove… only 99 bags of each design are produced.

    “I wanted to create accessories that were attractive to both men and women. In addition to being highly functional, each bag has hidden details that its owner will discover and appreciate. With such an abundance of product in today’s market overloaded with faux bells and whistles I wanted my bags to distinguish themselves from the masses by being distinctively void of pretension. I believe there is a select group of people who want something that is truly special, unique and extraordinary. Producing in limited quantities ensures the rarity of the design, guaranteeing that only a limited number of people will be carrying any given style.” — A. Toy

Oyule lamp set designed by Sergio Silva…

Working with reclaimed light bulbs, Sergio has tried to “send the bulbs back in time”, introducing a modern-day icon as a traditional light source. As the incandescent light bulb gives way to new technology, he has repurposed it as an elegant oil lamp [using] non-flammable paraffin oil and a wick replaces the filament. Machined parts are used to ensure strength and safety, without betraying the original look of the light bulb. But the true elegance of this piece comes from the way these light bulbs interact with the base. By placing a strong spherical magnet inside the bulb (which responds to a steel component embedded in the acrylic base), Sergio has liberated the lamps from any visual obstruction, allowing the viewer to appreciate the form in all its beauty.

“Plumen is the antithesis of low energy light bulbs as we know them. Rather than hide the unappealing traditional compact fluorescent light behind boring utility, Plumen 001 is a bulb you’ll want on show…
 The Plumen 001 is built with beauty at its heart, glowing with the aesthetic of a sculptural object. The forms the glass tubes take are irregular yet harmonious, as the two organic shapes mirror each other to create symmetry.”

EnhancedViewTM technology can present any type of information (text, image, video, 3D file, etc.) on a simple transparent lens.
“EnhancedViewTM technology is based on the special curvature of a semi-reflecting lens, which collimates a multicoloured image into the user’s field of vision. The special properties of the glass lens allows a wide field for the enhanced view (the standard is 40° x 30°) and the image resolution exceeds 800 x 600 pixels. 
It is equivalent to viewing a floating screen with 90 cm (34”) diagonal at 1 metre or a screen with the diagonal approximately 270 cm (88”) seen from 3 metres!
