It includes a suspended topography of 4 x 2 m, subdivided into forty triangu..
Binic is the name of a little lighthouse on the coast of Brittany. And it is the Breton seafaring world that has inspired this young French designer’s small, fun table lamp. Binic’s curious form recalls the “wind socks” that are used as ventilation systems on sailing ships. Its odd shape stimulates the imagination to create a wide range of interpretations. Because of its small size and fun, colo..

The Guardian is a proposed skyscraper of 28 floors that would surpass the tower of the medieval castle as the city’s highest structure.

In other words, the ebb and flow of the piece is directed by the function ..
