SUMMER OBSESSION: FANCY UMBRELLAS

Inspiration for our 2013 Tasting Table Lobster Roll Rumble design. These Santa Barbara Umbrellas are fantastic!

FRESH TAKE ON CAN LIGHTS

Originally conceived for the interior space of a Miami gallery, the Stormy Weather lamp collection is made entirely from recycled tin vegetable cans collected from local eateries.

CACTI LOVE YOU

These photo gems capture the arid-chic dwelling of Maurizio Zucchi of Italian lifestyle company Zucchi. We're especially enthralled with the metal trellis/cages surrounding the taller cacti and supporting them in an elegant and surprising way.

THE FUTURE OF LIGHT.

The PLUMEN 001 is the world's first designer low energy light bulb.

The dynamic, sculptured form contrasts to the dull regular shapes of existing low energy bulbs, in an attempt to make the Plumen a centrepiece, not afterthought.

PUSHING PAPER AT LVMH

In late January, WCIP was enlisted by luxury group LVMH to create an elegant, artful environment for a celebratory dinner, hosted in their sky high ballroom in NYC. Using a yards of simple white paper, we created an engaging and voluminous visual solution, while keeping the spotlight on the honorees. Guests were treated to a three-course dinner by our favorite catering house Canard, and enjoyed a preview of the newest dance film from Swedish director Pontus Lindberg.

A CHAIR THATS BARELY THERE

Designed by Alberto Rezende, who works in Brazil and splits his time between branding, digital art and design, the chair is built of EVA metallic screen. This provides the internal support structure allowing for the free flowing form.
