Trendir.com Prandina showed off four of their new blown glass pendant lamps at the Light & Building 2012 fair. We had to share them with you because these pendants are something to see. The new lamps are called Tiara, Gong, Bloom and Chorus and they all share a smooth, curved appeal. Tiara is pure elegance, and our favorite. The bottom part of the diffuser has a slightly truncated cone shape upon which a perfectly circular shape sits. Only a line of light separates the seamlessness between these shapes and gives this lamp such charm. Gong is like a cocoon; strong yet delicate encasing something beautiful. In this case, it's light. Bloom is the mysterious one; providing up and down lighting, this lamp gives off a nice diffused light to enhance the ambiance. Chorus is the one that plays with subtle angles on a cylindrical shape; depending where you view if from, its shape can slightly change on you. Go to Prandina for more details.]]> ]]> tag:www.trendir.com,2012://1.6423 2012-05-15T04:04:27Z 2012-05-15T04:05:45Z

Trendir.com We love unique designs such as this Cabrits freestanding bathtub by Victoria + Albert. Inspired by and named after the Cabrits peninsula, the shape of the tub is meant to mirror the distinctive shape of the peninsula. You can't deny the shape is quite unusual for a tub. But that was the idea behind Cabits, it was meant to stir things up a bit in the freestanding bathtub world. Its shape is not only interesting, organic and beautiful to look at, but has ergonomic qualities that promise comfort and support. It's a great tub for those who value bath time and smart design that stands separate from the rest.
