Sure, one needs input and exercise to create, enough time to test and experiment with new ideas so they can develop, and clearly a comprehensive working method to really create awesome stuff—but in my opinion one also needs that spark somewhere in the process: the promise that something will be greater than the sum of its parts. Do you agree? What is your experience?
Yesterday, a new idea arrived in the middle of a dream, and I rushed out of bed to find pen and paper to sketch it out before it slipped away.
Today, the work of producing this new idea in full begins.

Excited to have last year´s IDS winning Latitude lamp and The Dice exhibited at the Ontario Wood Pavilon next week. Thank you for including me!   #ids17 #ontariowood #awardwinning #light #design #madeintoronto #sustainable #oneofakind

Yes, the chandeliers are totally transformable! - Every configuration shifts the intensity and character of the light, as well as reshapes the form itself. Here a pic of model C. My friends from littledeer hit it on the nose. @littledeerhome @ids17 @ontariowood  #ids17 #ontariowood #torontodesign #transforming #chandelier #lampdesign #awesomestuff #light #art #modern #design

Thanks for all the likes and compliments! - Can you guess the special feature of this lamp? This picture of model B might give you a hint. #ids17 @idstoronto #lampdesign #evolvingemotions #awesomestuff
