Ceiling, Wall Light - "Lock" by IKEA

This one has been one of our favorite stories about our design approach. Because we design and build our local projects, we can monitor the costs closely, while perfecting our modern and innovative design ideas through to very end of each creation. Here you can see a frosted acrylic counter that is multi-layered and holds drawers out of the same material.  Three young girls share this bath, their colorful hair-bows shining through, livening up the counter bringing playful, colorful moments to the design.  We developed the design of this counter through the project and had it manufactured at a local shop.  It was quite pricy, but became an absolute must for our clients.  To work with the circular stainless vessel sinks and the playfulness of the inhabitants, we thought we had to have a lot of differently sized circles "growing" over the walls.  The best fixtures and mirrors, we could find, where very, very, very cheap at Target and IKEA.  They were perfect, however.  Good design and a good products that work with it, do not hinge on a high price tag.
The Lights are called "Lock" and are sold at IKEA for $4.99 each!

LED Landscape Lighting - "1548BZ" by Hinkley Lighting

This light worked beautifully for the landscaping of a project of ours. It is installed with this peculiar angle and gives off a warm soft pool of light. With its 15" it does not intrude visually and yet offers a little pizzazz.
It comes in various finishes. We opted for the dark anodized bronze, so it wouldn’t be too fussy.
It is offered as a LED fixture, which is perfect for long distance runs in the yard. Normally low voltage has been not quite ideal for landscaping because the fluctuating voltage over long distances would constantly burn out bulbs. Not with this LED light. It takes the voltage changes without a problem and insures a long life. The low voltage makes installation, of course, quite easy.
This one is a keeper.

Ceiling Fan - "Cirque" by Minka Air

Okay, we have to admit, we found another modern fan that works. We used this one, Cirque by Minka, for three children room's. The soft shapes reduced the children's aprehension against menacing rotary blades. The insets of the padels can be unsrewed. We are going to use this advantage to paint them several colors to match the rooms' decor. The fan comes with a fan control switch. The overall heihgt was surprisingly low and workes well with a 8' ceiling

"The cutting edge design of the MinkaAire Circue pushes boundaries, and rediscovers the artistic balance between art and function. The Cirque features six oval shaped blades, a simple round body, and a built-in halogen light fixture and comes with a full function wall mount remote control that replaces any normal light switch without the need for extra wiring.
