Glass Shoal by Scabetti
Clear, kiln-formed glass was used to create the three hundred and eighty six fish in this lovely hanging lighting fixture by Scabetti. The structure of the piece resembles that of a school of fish swimming together in a whirlwind formation.

Loving the form of these stools:
pentagon stool

for his pentagon table and stools, israeli designer itamar burstein researched the properties
of a three-dimensional pentagon to create the furniture pieces. using the compact five-sided figure,
he has composed a table and stool whose entire structure relies on five identical elements -
which are up-side-down 'U' shapes - fitting into one another. each component is made from
solid wood and are assembled through dry interlocking. the stool is free standing, and the table
has a plateau with a cut-out in its centre that governs the geometry of assemblage in the manner
of a key.
the project was done for VIA france as part of their annual design support program
and was presented during maison & object 2010 at VIA gallery, paris. it will continue
to be on show until march 7th, 2010.
