Description form Byrne:

Offering a very flexible light pool, Levity is the only task light of its kind that retracts into the work surface. Byrne’s new hybrid of task light and power/data center was designed to be flexible and adaptable in order to fit many different work environments; private offices, benching, conference rooms or tabling. Designed by award winning industrial designer Peter Stathis to offer unlimited flexibility while having little impact on the work surface. The capabilities of Levity are there when you need them.. and are completely hidden when you don’t.

The Ottawa Collection by Karim Rashid for BoConcept

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 10:26 AM PST

Karim Rashid has designed the Ottawa Collection of furniture and accessories for BoConcept.

Description from BoConcept:

The Ottawa Collection includes a complete dining room set with table, chairs, sideboard and cabinet. A light-hearted line of accessories complements the set, creating an entire environment for urbanites.

The minimalist but never ordinary style offers unique features and precise detailing that make each piece hard to resist. The dining table features a soft slanting under-skirting and leg clusters that make it welcoming. Inspired by nature, the dining chair celebrates the welcome simplicity of the leaf that creates an elegant cross-table profile when pushed in, and like the table, sits on a forest of legs, perfect for tucking in your feet. The sideboard has sensual and intuitive handles that are really functional eye candy. Colorful inserts can be used to customize the handles and ends of the sideboard piece.

The cabinet has large graphic easy-to-use handles that add a whimsical element and come in two colors, oak or green. Together, the pieces create an urban environment that is smart and savvy.

Accessories that complete the line include a bold black and white fingerprint rug created to speak about the "new global uniqueness where we are all empowered to express our individuality", suggests Rashid.

A cheerful color palette of puzzle shaped vases, a futuristic bright orange pendant lamp, a coordinating glass touch lamp with the same bright orange cord, a hand-made aluminum bowl designed to form a pattern, and a set of originally designed cups, espresso cups and rimmed saucers that celebrate
Rashid's art.
