The AlessiLux light bulb’s LED technology significantly reduces CO2 emissions due to its low energy consumption ─ it enables a savings of 80% over incandescent and halogen light bulbs, with less heat, and extends 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The AlessiLux collection works on powerful rechargeable batteries that can last for up to ten hours at maximum wattage, and for up to three days at minimum wattage. The select lamp styles include Ricordo, by Frederic Gooris; Lumière, by Giovanni Anghini Alessi and Gabriele Chiave; and UFO, by Frederic Gooris. lumens.com

Peg Carpet

Created by WE MAKE CARPETS – this installation of the Peg Carpet was a cooperation between artist Bob Waardenburg and designers Marcia Nolte and Stijn van der Vleuten. The Peg Carpet was made for MOTI Breda, the Netherlands, Cocktail Carpet for NDSM-vitrine, Amsterdam the Netherlands.

“All our carpets use materials from everyday life that are so common that they are rarely seen as something aesthetic. While building the installations, we never have a pattern in mind-the pattern therefore evolves during the building process.” Waardenburg said.
