treats

One of my favourite designers is Tord Boontje, his designs are so elegant and delicate. My boyfriend gave me this plate, part of his table stories series for my birthday, but I don't think I will ever use it for food, it's far too beautiful!


Anyway, today I went to Habitat and bought something I've had my eye on for a while... a garland light shade.


Except I can't bring my self to use it as a light shade! It's so detailed and perfectly cut out that I've put it in a frame on my wall, perhaps I'll have to get another for the light...

I love Todd Boontje too. I didn't know he did plates. I got my friend to ship me some garland lights home for me. What are they 18 pounds? Over here they range from NZD$250-350. So much more expensive!!!
I love the idea of putting in a frame. I have to say that once I got it ready to put up, it is a little complicated and it all gets tangled up!

That's a crazy amount!! Someone's making a profit there!
Hmm, I think it's because it looks so perfect now that I can't brig myself to tangle it round the light, I know it will never be untangled and perfect again...
