apple & bee

Environmentally friendly products by Apple & Bee. Cute name too :)

Its about packing your pieces in style & saving the planet. 

"I would like to think we can produce a product that will have a minimal effect on our planet - something people will connect with & like the feel of. Something they will keep & not throw away." - Apple & Bee's designer Claire Morris. 

light up my life

Above are two silk cocoon lamps - chrysalis sky (left) & white space (right) - by british lighting designer angus hutcheson. I first saw this lamp in a muriwai beach bach & was struck by the beauty & elegance of it. it is something you could look at all day & not tire off. The amount of work that would go into creating a lamp like this is mind boggling.

All of angus' lamps are made using natural & renewable material as he aims to draw man & the environment closer together - where man can live with nature in a technological world. These lamps would be a prized possesion in any house.
