Binic lamp for Foscarini

A lighthouse on the coast of Brittany is the inspiration behind Ionna Vautrin’s delightful ’Binic’ table lamp.

Binic lamp for Foscarini

BY

February 8th, 2011

Binic is the name of a lighthouse on the coast of Ionna Vautrin’s native Brittany, and the designer’s latest product for Foscarini is a mini beacon of light.

 

The lamp’s form is based on the wind socks of ships.

 

Vautrin has incorporated an almost cartoon-like shape which gives it an engaging character, like a compact reading-companion.

 

Binic is available in 6 colours – white, green, amaranth, orange, petrol, and grey – to suit any personality and any decor.

 

Binic is available in Australia through Space Furniture.

Powerful presence, silent service: Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series

In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.

Cooking from the heart, designing with precision: Chef James Won and Gaggenau’s culinary partnership

To honour Chef James Won’s appointment as Gaggenau’s first Malaysian Culinary Partner, we asked the gastronomic luminaire about parallels between Gaggenau’s ethos and his own practice, his multidimensional vision of Modern Malaysian – and how his early experiences of KFC’s accessible, bold flavours influenced his concept of fine dining.
