In 1960 a film was made called “The World of Suzie Wong”.  The plot of this post is about the Suzy Wong of our world.  We’re unsure whether Suzie and Suzy are connected, they most likely aren’t.

Air and Power.  We know them well, not like this however.  Welcome to LZF’s lighting adventure, Air. Designed by Ray Power for LZF (pictured above), Air is made of a single Polywood sheet, bent to its exciting and engaging shape and held in its graceful profile.  Falling into the LZF family of experimentation with form, Air is packed with fluidity...

We understand that the term “Kairos” in Greek translates to “opportune moment” and signifies a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens.  Fitting. Now, Kairos finds itself in the physical form as a suspension lamp, the latest lighting feat from Kenneth Cobonpue’s lighting and accessories brand HIVE . Kairos is a white fibre reinforced polymer hollow sphere that...

But don’t be scared, it’s not in a sci-fi thriller sort of way, we are simply curious as to how you look for products, how you keep up with trends, how you get your inspiration and a few other questions in the same realm. KE-ZU is undertaking...
