Hexagonal White Wall Lamp – ITRE Trex Wall Sconce by Karim Rashid

Posted: 25 Aug 2010 01:21 PM PDT

Trex Wall Scone is a lamp designed by Karim Rashid for lighting manufacturer Itre. "I wanted to get out of the square and cylindrical shapes," says Karim Rashid about designing it. The lamp heat-molded acrylic and features a hexagonal white lacquered metal base. The shape allows to connect several such lamps together to achieve a truly unique look. When it’s on it seems to slowly pulse with gentle variations of light intensity. That is achieved by placing two different types of circline flourescent bulbs in it, one 22-watt and one 40-watt. The flat metal base mounts to both wall and ceiling.

Blue-Black Monochrome Victorian Duplex Renovated by Envelope A+D

Posted: 25 Aug 2010 06:30 AM PDT

Clipper Street Residence is a redesigned by Envelope A+D tattered Victorian duplex – two stacked flats with a typical series of dark, cellular rooms – in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood. After redesign it looks like it has been visited by Space Invaders thanks to a blue-black monochrome exterior. Almost all partitions in both flats were erased in order to take advantage of the natural light and openness. The lower level become a creative studio while the second level was developed into kitchen/living/dining space. The floor and the ceiling were pared back to its rough surfaces, exposing the gabled roof volume with its rough-sawn collar ties and raw redwood wood boards of the underside of the roof. The original douglas fir subfloor was extensively patched and left raw.
