Amplify Lanterns by Yves Béhar

With a focus on sustainability and affordability, Yves Béhar managed to combine the wonders of technology with the qualities of Swarovski crystal to create Amplify, a series of "paper lanterns" for this year's Crystal Palace in Milan.

The lanterns are shaped like crystals; inside an LED light is refracted form a real crystal whose patterns are cast upon the surface of the paper. The faceted shade is made from recycled materials. Six different crystalline shapes are featured and can be used as stand-alone pieces or grouped for dramatic effect.

Fence by Adam Satushek

Adam Satushek examines the links between humans and their surroundings in his latest series of photographs. How do we influence our own stage set? How do we let the setting shape us? As Satushek tries to figure out his own place in the world, he picks up on sometimes unintentionally hilarious juxtapositions. How did some of these interactions take place, and how will they develop as time goes by? There is some great colour in these images.

MASHUP CARPET BY KYMO

MASHUP CARPET BY KYMO

What's old is new again when Kymo remixes traditional carpeting: the result is the Mashup.

The raw materials are worn and rugged oriental carpets; the process involves getting the originals down to the barest essentials. The threads are refined, then reassembled into contemporary patchworks. 

Designed by Eva Langhans and Thomas Follner, the Mashup is a combination of vintage spirit and modern expression.

Diem Chau's Crayon Carvings

 A Vietnam native, Diem Chau and her family came to America as refugees in 1986. Chau is a BFA graduate from Cornish
College of the Arts and has received an Artist Trust GAP Grant and a PONCHO Artist-in-Residence Award. Her work has been
exhibited in New York, Miami, Seattle and Los Angeles.

Chau combines common mediums and common means to create delicate vignettes of fleeting memory, gesture and form,
resulting in works that combine egalitarian sensibility and minimalist restraint. Her work touches on the value of Storytelling,
Myths and its ability to connect us to each other through cultural and humanistic similarities. Chau's current work drifts into
new territory by exploring the periphery of the narrative, moments forgotten and faded, or too brief to retain.
