zen table lamp

SquirrelswithHammers — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:53:06 GMT

A 3d asterisk-shaped table lamp made from stained MDF and japanese rice paper. Multiple designs feature on the 30 seperate faces of the lamp, yet the design on each face connects seamlessly with its adjoining sides. The finished piece stands at around 34cm in height. I'll construct the object for you: staining the MDF, applying the rice paper screens to the inside and conducting the tricky step of glueing the whole thing together (tricky because it involves glue, rubber bands and elbows). In order to comply with local laws and power systems, you'll need to provide your own light source. I recommend a low wattage compact flourescent bulb (7 watts or less). If you'd like to have a go at constructing the lamp yourself, I can provide detailed instructions and a reduced price due to flat-pack shipping and your (fun) efforts in construction.

Zen lantern

SquirrelswithHammers — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:18:04 GMT

A single-box zen lantern. The patterns on the sides of the box work in such a way that, although different, they seamlessly join on all edges, and, in fact, you can stack multiple boxes together for a more dramatic arrangement. It looks great at night with a light inside. Not suitable for a candle as it is fully enclosed, but perfect for a no-heat flickering LED substitute - or a very low watt bulb if you are electrically inclined. This one is made from 3mm MDF and japanese rice paper and the finished cude is almost 12cm or 4.5 inches tall.

Starry Treasure Locket Necklace, Medium

iluxo — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 18:27:33 GMT

Dried petals of a wildflower. A semi-precious stone with fascinating imperfections. Shards of beach glass, or a found button. A note from your lover. The treasure locket is perfect for those of us who find and get attached to small objects that get lost in the bottom of a pocket or handbag, but don't quite fit in a wallet. It will keep those trifling but meaningful objects close to you at all times. You can use it to carry a tiny photograph or a good luck charm. Keep a scroll of paper with your favorite quote on it-- a quote you mean to live by. The cut-out design on this necklace is a traditional pattern that you can find everywhere in Japan, if you look for it. I first became aware of this pattern when I admired it on a luxurious kimono silk that was passed down to me from my family. Since then, I've noticed it on product packaging, origami, stationary, and even manhole covers. The simple geometric pattern is rich with culture and tradition, but has a very modern and contemporary look. Sold on http://iluxo.etsy.com
