carrie led light by norm architects for menu.

Nov 29, 2016

in denmark, where winters are cold and long, creating a warm, cozy atmosphere is a way of life. there is even a danish word for it – hygge – which explains our national obsession with candles. the idea behind the carrie led lamp is to honor hygge in the context of modern living. lightweight and portable with a usb charger, the possibilities of the lamp are endless. use it as a bedside lamp, on an office desk or as an alternative to candles on the dining table. carrie is also perfectly sized for picnicking in the park, festival-going or moonlit walks on the beach.

thoughtfully designed with two levels of surface and a magazine rack, there’s space to keep everything beautifully neat, tidy and handy.

each oak block is hand-crafted from natural, 200-year matured solid oak, each with its own characteristic pattern of knots and grains that is then treated with a rich finish of high quality varnish. the side table’s base is made from raw steel treated with a anti-rust layer to keep the natural industrial look of the steel.

new additions for chambord collection by bodum.

new additions for chambord collection by bodum.

Nov 17, 2016

new additions in 2016 for the chambord collection.

gif16-holiday-chambord-bodum13

above> new – chambord glass / large

when we introduced the bodum® double wall glasses six years ago, they became an instant sensation. in the years since and many international design awards later, we haven’t stopped taking the double wall concept to a new level: it’s now available in porcelain and it comes in many beautiful colors you can mix and match. of course that’s not all we’re experts in: all our glasses, mugs and cups are of classic simplicity for a beautiful everyday life.

above> new – chambord coffee maker

chambord is a true original – the classic french press coffee maker designed in the fifties. and we still produce it with the same painstaking craftsmanship we used way back when with the original. the frame and lid, made of steel, undergo several chrome plating processes to obtain a durable shiny surface that will last for many years of intense use. the only difference in the production process since the fifties is our commitment to the highest standards of environmentally correct manufacturing, which is especially important during the chrome plating process. the black chambord polypropylene handle comes in a matte finish that not only gives a comfortable grip while serving but adds to the classic quality of the design. the french press system has always been the simplest and ultimate way of brewing an excellent cup of coffee. using fresh coarseground beans with water between 92 and 96 degrees celsius brings out the very best in all types of coffee.

above> chambord milk frother / medium

if part of the reason you’re having coffee is the foam crowning your latte or cappuccino, you might want to keep this little super tool handy. the chambord milk frother foams up your milk in no time – unplugged! just pour cold milk (skim, 1 or 2% fat) in the glass jug und move the plunger up and down a few times. you’re rewarded with the most luscious foam imaginable. if you like your foam hot, just put the glass jug with the foamed milk into the microwave for about 30 seconds. the jug is made from borosilicate glass, which is sturdy and light at the same time and doesn’t cloud – even after years of dishwasher use. the plunger is made from stainless steel and plastic, and it is dishwasher safe as well – unfortunately this does not apply copper version.

over the past 20 years, there has been an evolution of many middle eastern cities. abu dhabi is one of them – developing economically, expanding socially and growing culturally. in its ongoing construction state, erecting new landmarks amidst old buldings, modernity is paving its path and showing that dreams are becoming reality. capture illustrates this specific moment in time.

gift16-holiday-carwan1

carlo massoud is a lebanese product designer and interior designer. after graduating with a masters’ degree in product design from alba (academie libanaise des beaux arts), he pursued a master in product design for the luxury industry at the school of art and design lausanne (ecal) where he had the opportunity to work on several projects under the supervision of international designers such as ronan bouroullec, barber osgerby, marti guixé, pierre charpin, umberto and fernando campana.

his designs derive from a deeply engraved social critique humorously transformed into a useful and playful “object”. his projects range from tableware products, to function driven exhibition stands, packaging, and furniture, to ultimately embrace interior spaces in a magical atmosphere. he has exhibited his work at the beirut art center, and in many other design gatherings.
