Havaleena LED Torch



A Havaleena “bouquet of lights” – or a single Havaleena – can be used indoors or out to provide illumination for life’s special moments.

The light owes its name to its elegant, lance-like form: “Havaleena” is an onomatopoeic translation of the Spanish word “Jabalina” or javelin. Like a javelin topped with a cylinder of light, the Havaleena’s sleek lines make it unique.

The idea of portability is central to the product, as is the concept that a cordless light must also be functional. With its 1-Watt wide-angle LED, it provides a warm, glowing mood light that is perfect for an intimate setting.

“We wanted to provide illumination that works at all levels: as light, as art, as a personal expression,” says Monica Berndt of Tayo Design Studio. “By making the Havaleena both functional and aesthetic, we feel we have created a product that delivers on all these fronts.”

Havaleena can be customized –even personalized—through its versatile light diffuser system. Made of clear acrylic, the top of the Havaleena can be adapted to any color by changing the vellum filter inside the tube. Users can also create their own messages: “Thank you!” “You are the light of my life!” “Marry me…” are but a few examples of phrases that can be printed onto paper and used as filters. This makes the Havaleena a perfect gift for special occasions.

Paul Ten Voorde

As an extension on his carving activities Paul made a sidestep in the direction of furniture in 1995. In addition to shape comes the functionality. In 1999 Paul created his company Furnisculptures. In his designs he plays with contrasts between geometric and organic elements, always looking for equilibrium.

Enofila



Enofila is a wall-mounted bottle holder in film of transparent PVC. I could really see hanging these in a closet and then just turning the pages to select you wine of choice each evening...

Butter Sofa

"These furniture pieces are produced through a special production technique: the molds themselves melt because of the temperature during solidification. A technical story, but the result is that every piece gets a unique soft buttery structure. Haven’t you ever fantasized melting into your furniture?"

Vlaemsch Internal Watch


The Internal Watch is encased in leather, rendering it non-functional as timepiece. The hidden watch transcends typical associations of status by isolating the emerging form rather than acting as a flashy signifier.
