What once was a Chinese lantern is now a modern lantern. I shared this DIY creation with Shelterrific after an ongoing discussion about lamp making. You can see the original post and an image of the lamp in its natural habitat here.
Someone mentioned that it reminded them of the Beijing National Stadium designed by Herzog & de Meuron design firm, which is interesting given that it was once a Chinese lantern. Hmm…
It reminds me of this work of Testa and Weiser featured in the Skin and Bones exibit at MOCA. Check out this great dress from the same exhibit. Another parallel? I’m lovin it. These ziggy wine rack and glacier runner from CB2 have a similar motif of intersecting diagonal lines. I think we are onto a motif trend here.
