Studio Swine's hanging light pendants are crafted out of various glass beverage bottles. The clean and high quality glass is broken down into cullet, then each bulb is specifically formed and fitted and accented with brass fittings.

AURA LIGHT Intending to take light to an elemental place, the Aura Light from Ladies & Gentlemen Studio features two simple, primary elements: the light source—the bulb—and the illumination, which is highlighted by a brass ring. The result is a simple but sophisticated fixture that can be used as a singular suspended piece, or can be grouped with other Aura Lights for a more dramatic, installation-like effect. When the Aura Light is turned off, the minimalist pendant looks delicate and spare; it does not interrupt its environment. When it is illuminated, the aptly named Aura Light produces a lovely, halo-like diffusion of light, enhanced by its metal ring.

Architects in Vienna, Austria "We used plywood as shelving and for room partitions. On the balcony, we used double-stick mats usually used for fences. In the foreground, you can see a table designed by us. It's made of a very thin and light aluminum material also used for facades. We are architects, and we designed and built our home using an ecological approach. We were the first in Vienna to use straw bales as insulation material for our house."

TV Executive in Sydney, Australia "There’s a dining setting by Australian mid-century modern designer Grant Featherston, and two round Kone chairs by another mid-century Aussie, Roger McLay. The Kone chair is a beautifully simple design—a single piece of plywood bent into a cone shape and fixed to four black steel rod legs. They were made possible by advances in innovations in glue and wood bending techniques first used in fighter aircraft in World War II and put to great use by people like the Eames, Robin Day and McLay in the post-war period."
