rachel sussman uses gold to 'repair' cracked sidewalks in homage to japanese 'kintsukuroi' art. ‘kintsukuroi’ is the ancient japanese art of repairing broken or cracked pottery with a powdered-gold dusted lacquer. philosophically speaking, the craft regards the process of breakage and repair as an element of the object’s history, rather than an unattractive flaw to be concealed or disguised

nendo’ s new lightings “sawaru” and “gaku” for flos

left, “sawaru”, a lighting consisting of two independent cylinders touching each other in a perpendicular direction. One plays the role as a light source, while the other acts as a base, and the projection angle can be altered into 3 stages: 25 degrees, 40 degrees and 60 degrees, by inserting the pin attached to the base

right, “gaku”, A box used together with lamps and other objects,%u3000which gives a feeling almost as if it weresomething between accessories and furniture. An adjustable-height pending lamp hangs down inside of one box, while a second design features non-contact charging functionality to power a matching spot or luminescent lamp. Usually, the lamp is simply left on the charging dock, and then moved around freely when lighting is needed elsewhere.  The directional lamp features a magnet that allows it to be placed at an angle, making it easy to adjust the direction of spot to be lighted
