Some serious neglect going on with the blog at the moment but i am getting married in two weeks so hopefully I can be excused. Anyway those of you who regularly follow will well know my penchant for low-tech lighting and here we go again. No info on the first image, just a picture find on tumblr with no details (any ideas anyone?). The second is 'Edward,' part of a weird and interesting little family by nachacht. Some good industrial type detailing on some of their furniture too.

Bertelli and Brackney

It is virtually impossible to have lived in East London and not been into bikes in some way. I have so I am, and find these bespoke wooden handlebars by Adam Brackney for Bertelli Biciclette Assemblate ridiculously cool.

Same Same Different

Richard Shed's 'Mr Moon Shelf', one of mine, and BuiltIN Studios's 'Oblique Shelf'. Shed offers the scenario of a shelf being thrown at a wall by Keith Moon with one end getting lodged in. 
I also had ideas of damage and experience in my head but in a different way, about personality, and how something pristine can lack emotion. By taking corners off I was trying to suggest experience and alteration. We all have knocks and scrapes, be it physically or mentally, and that is what makes us so interesting. 
BuiltIN Studio go more sculptural with their idea,  having just one horizontal surface, no true verticals and an angled face plane to boot.
