Rogier of London have produced some fabulously diverse lamps, With either a modern or antique feel to them.
Can a lamp be regarded as a work of art? Maybe these will influence your decision. The antique styles are all reworked from recognisable period objects. This “recycling” is, for me, what makes Rogiers Lamps stand out.
These luxury lamps are made from materials such as Victorian water spouts, Fresh water fish baskets, original wallpaper printing rolls (with raised pattern, looks amazing!) to – my absolute favourite, an old printing stone for metallic Champagne labels.
The antique feel is complimented by a modern touch. Most bases are completed with a black, white or clear Perspex, precisely cut into sleek and contemporary shapes.
Topped with silk lampshades, these antique lamps are to be admired and adored.
The modern range is as inspired but utilising more up to date materials. The industrial radiators mounted on metal blocks does not sound too appealing, but add in the white silk asymmetrical shades and you have a thing of beauty….from radiators, very clever.
This is beaten in the wow stakes by the pair of pieces of a Jaguar aircraft, used as the base. With the black Perspex base and the rectangular white shades, these are stunning.
Based in Pimlico, Rogiers lamps by artist Lauriance Rogier, have given us the chance to really illuminate the room in completely original style. The two ranges – antique and modern – are inspired design classics. Every single piece oozes quality and a skill that needs to be revered.
Zikmu by Philippe Starck are truly amazing wireless speakers.
Looks and performance seem to be trying to out do each other. I am still not sure which is the stronger.
Let’s start with the aesthetics….It’s Phillippe Starck, for goodness sake!
Typically minimalistic style in a variety of colours - arctic white, classic black, pearl grey & sorbet lime. A beautiful and a unique object, something that is functional and yet very nice to look at. And No, It most certainly doesn’t resemble a Vuvuzela…..
Performance wise, state-of-the-art technology has been employed to compliment the appearance. Software updates have been made available and Zikmu will continue to offer free updates to really enhance the power of these speakers.
The speakers give a 360° immersive sound, a perfect and crystal clear sound image, thanks to the NXT technology and a very specific control of all electrodynamic elements via a system of DSP processing and amplifiers.
You can listen to your music from today’s digital devices:
- iPod®/iPhone™ via a dedicated docking station
- PC, with audio streaming via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Mac computers and Bluetooth mobile phones, with audio streaming via Bluetooth® Stereo (A2DP)
Furthermore, a RCA line-in enables Parrot Zikmu to be connected to TV screen for a Home Cinema sound effect.
These highly desireable and ultra performing wireless stereo speakers by Starck, that do not look like Vuvuzela’s, are available now at £1.000 inc. VAT.
Under the guidance of Renowned Swiss Designer Carlo Borer, Swizz Style present a fan that has not only stunning looks, but also stunning performance. The Otto is a very special fan.
Fashioned from quartered sapele (a large deciduous tropical tree native to Africa), steam formed to create the splendid shape of the Otto. In terms of appearance, the wood has a lot in common with mahogany. This durable and clearly pliable wood is then oiled twice for a high quality matte finish – the end result being this eye pleasing fan. High grade steel balances the natural form of the sapele wood with modern contemporary style.
The industrial strength fan will produce a gentle, calming breeze or an impressive blast, a massive gust of cool air when you need it most. It has been described as “whisper quiet” or even “very silent” – it’s not loud!
This is not just a fan though. The general appearance means this is a functional piece of furniture. A domestic appliance that looks great, you will not want to store it away when the leaves start falling.
Another staggering fact about this stylish, high performing fan is the price. Contemporaryheaven.co.uk are retailing at only £169.95.
