The Danish Designer

Handcrafts and hard work pays off when you are this good at making designs. This kind of craftsmanship is incredible and I just enjoy how much detail he designs. The process of this kind of artwork is long and worthwhile! I wish I could make things that are this beautiful – but I will stick with Illustrator and Photoshop to give me the results I want. But we should never forget the old ways of doing things – it just puts everything in perspective and inspires. Enjoy the patience he has…

When danish designers are passionate classics are born! Danish designed Snowflower lamp is already a classic! My friends and fellow designers, Karina and Marcus has designed a lamp that has the feel og look of a classic like a Poul Henningsen lamp in a simple streamlined danish design. Snowflower comes in 2 versions: Floor lamp and Ceiling lamp. I really enjoy the way the lamp reacts to a little wind and movement in it’s environment. It’s like a living organism or almost like a leafs on a tree in the wind. I can’t wait to see what other cool limited edition designs the Snowflower lamp will come in sometime in the future maybe?
