Geraldine GONZALEZ
"A graduate of the Duperre School of Applied Arts Ecole Supérieure d’Arts Appliques Duperre (textile section), Geraldine Gonzalez started her career as a shoe designer before becoming a sculptor. In the past her work has been used as illustrations in advertising, the press and children’s books, and shown in both personal and group exhibitions in several Paris museums (Grand Palais, Menagerie de Verre, Halle Saint-Pierre, Georges-Pompidou, etc.).Today her focus is on home and storefront decoration. Geraldine Gonzalez likes some materials better than others, but papier maché, cloth, crushed glass and pearls have gradually made way for the prince, crystal paper, a material with a lovely name that allows her to delicately play with transparency and light. With this precious ally, Geraldine cultivates her secret garden, overflowing with tenderness and poetry, where she raises subtle figurine lamps, chrysalides, Chinese votives and exquisite fashion accessories (lingerie, hats, gloves, shoes...), all of which have quite naturally been displayed at the marketplace: Bon Marche, the Printemps Haussmann, Home Autour du Monde, chez Mint, Liberty (London) Tommorrowland (Tokyo) and the John Derian Company ( New York). She has also worked with Christian Lacroix, Sonia Rykiel, Chantal Thomass, and with Hilton Mc Connico for Hermes, Baccarat, Van Cleef et Arpels and Givenchy. Her most recent creations, imprints of mystery and fragility seem to emerge from an enchanted forest. Her giant trees house shimmering amulets, burning bushes, bearers of charms and spells and a score of other living, curious and magic plant creatures." -Geraldine Gonzalez

"Karen was interested in using some of the more stylized plant forms that Carl had developed for his Louis Dore cast bronze tables. Carl welded three bronze branches together in a radial form, then patinated them to bring them back to the feeling of old weathered branches. Karen wove semi-precious stones to create the look found in the dark rooms of an old manor once forgotten, and now rediscovered.
Cast bronze branches tied with metal rope, draped with webs of serpentine, rock crystal, peridot, citrine, carnelian, calcite, and jasper." -Carl Dern Studio
Title Quote: Sir John Davies
"Less Light" is a sealed lamp shade that needs to be broken in order to release the light trapped within. The shell is cracked using a specially designed hammer. The user decides the appearance and position of the hole depending on how much light is required and where it is to be directed." Jordi Canudas

"With an enviable dexterity, Luminary Warren Muller creates fantastic lighting sculptures from found, recycled, and salvaged objects. His novel approach to these cast-aside items results in work at home in environments both modern and traditional. Recent pieces are mostly by commission and often incorporates existing chandeliers and/or the collective tchochtkes of his clients."

"This discreet pair of oval canvas wall lights reproduce two "shy" old Master Paintings of the Flemish school that appear only when the lights are switched on.
Switched off, the wall lights assume a simple, modern monochromatic look. Turn them on, the features of Cornelius and Catherina will filter trough, giving your decor a refined yet modern look."

Link: Pyreness Wood Block 100 Matches - Fitzsu Society.
"Pyreness Wood Block with 100 matches. To use just break a match off the block and scratch it along the block to light. In 1680, an Irish physicist named Robert Boyle (Boyle's Law) coated a small piece of paper with phosphorous and coated a small piece of wood with sulfur. He then rubbed the wood across the paper and created a fire. However, there was no useable match created by Robert Boyle."
Title Quote: Timon of Athens
"Nowadays everything is becoming wireless, but the Dutch designlabel ‘Vij5’ uses power cable as decoration. For this project the cable is braided through the frame of a series of second-hand lamps. Therefore every lamp is unique and the shape of the original lamp determines it’s final form. This collection exists out of a limit number and will be produced on order."
