L'idée était de développer une cage dont la forme casserait les codes classiques.
Faire en sorte de l'intégrer dans l'habitat en la mixant à une console.
La connexion entre la cage et les cloches de verre fait référence à ces oiseaux empaillés qui prennent ici vie. Clin d’œil aux cabinets de curiosités.
L'oiseau est mis en scène comme dans un décor de théâtre.
Par ses matériaux purs elle donne une vision idéale de la nature.
La cage a été réalisée par les Ateliers Seewhy et elle est exposée à la Galerie Gosserez. Photos de Jérome Galland.

Modern Birdcage Design Also Doubles as a Table
French interior architect and designer Grégroire de Laforrest develops fresh, new designs that break many conventional expectations. Cage Archibird is an example of his spectacular creativity. The clever piece naturally integrates two main functions, serving both as a table and as a birdcage.
Within the interior, small birds have the freedom to move around and to perch upon the tree branches, both underneath and within the glass bells, while the surface of the table is also available for people to use. Not only is the concept original, but it is also quite a practical space-saver within any home.
Once the concept was developed, Lafforest worked with SeeWhy Workshops to build the piece. The branches are made out of steel, welded together into shapes that are meant to mimic nature. They were shaped with a coating of polyester putty and then painted with two layers of lacquer to achieve the bright while color. Other materials used include solid oak, aluminum poles, and tensioned cables. The final piece features a variety of perches, feeders, and a small pool for the birds to enjoy. images: my modern met

FallenTree: Half Tree, Half Bench by Benjamin Graindorge
Edition YMER&MALTA, 2011
« Wood is a living material, the industrial tool I use as a designer has rationalised it, and it has become an effective material… The fallenTree bench is intended to reveal the wood’s DNA, to express it’s deepest nature by attempting to highlight the living fibre it is made of, I want to expose and bring it to life to reveal it’s primal identity: strong, indomitable and above all magnificent. »
Material: sculpted oak with a borosilicate glass leg
Finish: natural oak
Dimensions: L. 110 x l. 273 x H. 120 cm
As part of Design Miami, which runs from June 11 to June 16, young French designer Benjamin Graindorge, as represented by Ymer&Malta gallery, will present works like FallenTree, a striking piece of furniture that's half tree, half bench. Made of oak wood and glass, the limited edition piece asks the viewer to remember where that bench once came from.
It's best described by the designer himself, "Wood is a living material, the industrial tool I use as a designer has rationalized it, and it has become an effective material. The FallenTree bench is intended to reveal the wood’s DNA, to express its deepest nature by attempting to highlight the living fiber it is made of, I want to expose and bring it to life to reveal its primal identity: strong, indomitable and above all magnificent."

Daft Punk Showed Up at the Monaco Grand Prix For Their Racecar's Debut
Photos via Lotus F1 Team Twitter
Remember how Daft Punk got their own Formula One racecar? Today, at the Grand Prix de Monaco, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo showed up to see the car in action. The the Lotus F1 Twitter page has posted a few shots of the duo hanging out with the Lotus F1 team.
At publication time, the race is still in progress. When it was halted due to a crash, the Lotus F1 team also shared some do-it-yourself paper dolls of Bangalter and Homem-Christo.
You need:
- A glass tumbler
- Wax beads
- A wick
- Tape
- A knitting needle or pen
- Essential oils (I used rose and vanilla – feel free to get creative and mix your own scents!)
How to:
1. Fill the tumbler with wax beads.
2. Put the beads in a pyrex jug in a pot of water and bring to boil.
3. Add your essential oil. For each candle I added around 10 drops of oil.
4. Using some wax, fix the wick to the bottom of the glass.
5. Tape the wick to the knitting needle/pen balanced on the glass so that the wick doesn’t collapse when the wax is poured in. Then pour the wax into the tumbler (careful, it’s very hot!!) and let it set overnight.
6. If your wax dries with a dip in the middle (which can happen when it shrinks), heat a little more wax and fill so the surface of the candle is flat. Finally, cut the end of the wick to around an inch long.
Enjoy!

TOM FORD’S NEW MEXICO RANCH DESIGNED BY TADAO ANDO
Tom Ford is no stranger to the best of the best, so it comes as no surprise that the prolific American designer enlisted one of the world’s greatest when it came down to designing his New Mexico dream home – a sprawling, luxe ranch. Enlisting famed Japanese minimalist architect Tadao Ando to create the palatial wonderland, enjoy these scenic views of Ford’s Santa Fe residence, which contains a fully equipped equine facility on premises. Maybe you recall, Ford’s first stint in the fashion business was interning at Chloe in Paris, who were unaware that his Parsons degree was, in fact, in the field of Architecture.
