I just spied this over at HD Inspirations Blog and felt the need to on share the cleverness: Real crystal decanters used as pendant lighting at the Conquine Bar in London.
Just goes to show pretty much anything can be made into an awesome light fitting!
Where ever you live on the planet earth, at 8.30pm this Saturday it is Earth Hour.
So in preparation for an hour with the lights out, its candle time! What be more appropriate than this gorgeousie light globe candle from Queen B candles!
(Oh, and And just so you know it is even more perfect as its a non toxic emitting candle made from beeswax not paraffin like most other candles available – loving the Queen B candles!)
And the teacup candles are a bit special too!
I want me some!
Its been very quiet here at Designalogue Blog of late. Ive been quite preoccupied with end of year clienty things as well as packing up and moving house and office.
So I’m taking a quick break – ok, I’m slacking off, from hauling boxes from one place to another as I need me a quick look at some pretty!
These super cute ‘tea lights’ from Melbourne artist Gregory Bonasera will do the trick!
I think these tea cup lights are super cute and I love the idea of using Nana’s precious tea cups as a chandy! I’m hoping to use them in a project coming up in the new year – so we will see!
More info on Gregory Bonasera here.
Well, back to shuffling boxes for me! I will be back and posting soon from my fabulous new office!
I think I might start petitioning my landlord to install a swimming pool in my back garden – purely so I can have these uber cool floating lights by Spanish groovies Metalarte.
I don’t think that would be extravagant or over the top in the slightest!!!?!

So very near the top of my “I just gotta have” list, (yeah, you KNOW you got one too!) are these gorgouesies: Sculptures by day, light sculptures by night – SO fabulous!! I love love LOVE them! and I want want WANT!!
Made and designed here in Melbourne town by the very clever Chris and Timothea at Lump Sculpture Studio.
Aah, they are SO beautiful! see for yourself, I know you’ll agree!!
These are some I’ve just had installed in a clients courtyard. That’s definitely another perk of this job! – I get to live out things I love in others houses!!!

No longer just an Aussie secret, these are now available in the US through Designs Abroad
I am loving the new lighting collection of French company Bleu Nature.
Their use of ‘un-tamed’ materials such as driftwood and petrified wood create such beautiful and unique furniture and lighting.
