Christian Flindt is a Danish designer with a gorgeous portfolio of work. I love the delicacy of his Flindt lights and the ingenuity of his colorful Parts of a Rainbow chair – “the worlds first sidestacker”.

I came across Viable London on Designboom yesterday and am loving their work. They are debuting a new line of sustainable products at this year’s London Design Festival. Slat Shelf is made of sustainably harvested pine and the Spiral Stools of cork, felt and wool.

Benjamin Hubert sent over his new product lines, set to debut at 100% Futures in London in a few weeks. My favorite is his Labware lamp series which are inspired by laboratory beakers, and showcase the purity of glass blowing through the range of large, geometric glass lamps. Furthering the laboratory idea, each lamp comes with a Portuguese bark topped cork.

The Diamond Chair seems inspired by the Eames’ fiberglass shell chairs, but has the surprising detail of an upholstered fabric seat.

Benjamin used thin walled concrete to make his Heavy Lights. I like the playful practicality of the ceramic Yumbrella bowl and banana tree

Saw some new work up at Benjamin Hubert’s website. I love the Impression Crockery – a soup bowl that was formed from a single surface with an impression for the spoon holder. Equally nice is the Foam Twist Light – a floor lamp made from re-purposed medical packaging waste and acrylic.

Julien’s light calligraphy is simply beautiful. The contrast of the fluidity of movement and the implied control necessary to control the light source is very inspiring. I especially like the image on the left, which shifts out of the two-dimensional and creates a radial space for the writing.

These Cardboard Scraplights by Graypants have made the blog rounds, but they are way too gorgeous not to be posted here. The corrugated cardboard is supposedly taken from scraps leftover from previous projects. The corrugation allows light to leak out and creates really gorgeous patterns on the wall.

In the midst of the NSS chaos, I did get the chance to run through the ICFF for an hour. I grabbed a few business cards from the booths that immediately caught my eye, and Refined Sugar Studio was one of them. Cheeky and fun, the products are either limited edition functional pieces, or one-of-a-kind works of design art. Refined Sugar’s tag line is “Sweet Designs for Living”, and I think their work fits the bill. My two favorites: the Eat Me Dining Table, a reclaimed claw-and-ball foot dining table with a scrolling LED screen. Variations on the word “Meat” scroll across the table – “Eat Me”, “Eat Meat”, “Fat Me”…I also loved the Refined Cereal light fixture – all of your favorite childhood cereals illuminated in this one light fixture.

DesignCode makes colorful light fixtures and screen systems. I love the Flamp Noir – a box containing the silhouette of the iconic lamp.

I’ve seen Sarah Van Gameren’s work quite a bit over the past few months without knowing that it was hers. I finally came across her Family Tree necklace on Pan-Dan and had to check her website out, which is when I made the connection between Sarah and all these other great projects I’ve been admiring around the web. Her Family Tree project seeks to represent the lineage of a young client named Runa, and draws its inspiration from ‘name-jewel’ necklaces.

Some of the other projects I’ve been admiring: Burn Burn Burn, where Sarah has created a type of paint that can be burned to create a permanent mark on a surface, and the Big Dipper – wax chandeliers that will create an ephemeral, changing light fixture.

PS. Thanks to Desire to Inspire and MSNBC’s Clicked for the blog mentions – and hi to all of you who are coming from there!

I love the coverage of the Stockholm Furniture Fair over at Designboom. Yuriko Takahashi’s work caught my eye – she has some very nice bent wood furniture, and some amazing light fixtures. The lights have shades made of wood veneer and cloth which are connected with zippers.
