The Accidental Curator

Wind-lit: Solar

Imagine lounging outside some hazy warm summer night with some friends when all of a sudden your ultra green lanterns, powered solely from the wind and sun, illuminate as dusk approaches. These lanterns are but one of the many projects Developed by cutting edge design and technology group Living World. Living World attempts to actualize an idea called “senseware”, loosely translated senseware is a concept that strives to detach production from creativity, by realizing this detachment one attains a heightened awareness or sympathy for sensing the beauty of the living world that surrounds us. Senseware literally means “tools for sensing the living world”.

Cytoplasm Hanging Planter

I love this planter...it somehow remains soft, elegant and amazingly modern all at the same time. Perfect for indoors or out, it could be hung from trees in the summer to complete an outdoor garden area. Each planter links together so that it can either be hung in dramatic groupings or singularly for a more subtle effect. A perfect accent to any interior.
