Carlo Rossi Sound System And More
February 8, 2008
Carlo Rossi has been making wine for quite some time but now it seems they have started something new by taking recycling to a all new level. Showcased on Carlo Rossi’s website are some interesting new concepts such as a lamp, bookshelf, couch, chandelier, and even a surround sound system all constructed out of various sizes of Carlo Rossi wine jugs. By far the most interesting design is the 5.1 Sangria sound system using several 4-5liter wine jugs and holes drilled into the sides to allow music to resonate perfectly.

Bossa Pendant Luminary
November 4, 2007
The new Bossa Pendant Luminary designed by Fernando Prado and manufactured by Lumini is a wonderful combination of both form and function. The luminary itself is a very simple concept, basically its an overhead light that is able to easily expand to allow more light in order to brighten up a room. Basically the luminary uses a combination of a reflector and an aluminum disc to allow the user to change between direct and indirect lighting giving an infinite possibility of lighting effects. I love simple designs and this luminary is a prefect example of how simple designs can sometimes be the most practical.
“Fully Loaded” Chair
November 4, 2007
Created by Alexander Reh the new ‘Fully Loaded ” Chair is the perfect blend of both simplicity and ammunition. The chair itself is constructed of 450 .12 gauge shotgun shells (hence the name) and is clearly a radical departure from the shells intended use. Using the shells allows for an intense contrast form the bright brass on the front to the hollow red plastic casing on the backside. While the price is unknown, unfortunately the designer Alexander Reh is only producing a limited run of 30 chairs, so if your interested contact the designer’s website for availability
