Called Daylight Entrance, the walls of the staircase are lined with solid surface material. Recesses were milled out from behind the material to accommodate panels of LED lights.
The installation is located in the entrance of an office building in central Stockholm (Vasagatan 7). As both the entrance and staircase have no natural light, it was important for me to replicate the positive sensation of sunlight. The technical principles behind the project are based on my previous lamp, Surface Daylight.

Modernica: Free shipping... and no tax!

Renee from Modernica sent me a special invite for BlueAntStudio Readers: They are having a Free shipping and no tax on the outdoor Case Studio #22 collection (CS#22).
Here's a little info of the series:
"Style in the Hollywood Hills is epitomized by the Stahl House built in 1959 as part of the Case Study Houses program and made famous by photographer Julius Shulman. The cantilevered house with panoramic views of the city make this one of California’s favorite modern homes. Bring a little modern history into your own home with a bit of furniture. Perhaps a Case Study #22 Chaise, as seen above, to relax in and admire your own fantastic view"

To celebrate the outdoors and in appreciation of all our blog readers, Twitter followers and Facebook friends they are offering free shipping and no tax in the continental US on the Case Study #22 KG Lounge Chair, Ottoman and Chaise from now through July fourth weekend. Just enter the code: blueantcs22 to purchase online.

concrete kitchen

Concrete is word we use to describe extraordinary ideas, business plans, and relentless athletes, besides its obvious usage in flooring and construction. Although the material itself is one we are aware of, its potential is often misunderstood.
When Martin Steininger developed the Concrete Kitchen for his Vienna-based company, Steininger Designs, he wanted to share another way that concrete can be used - other than its evident form in sidewalk squares, building foundations, and bridges - so he shared with us his innovative concrete kitchen space. But even with this brand new use of the durable material, many can only associate concrete with cement. A firsthand experience with a Steininger kitchen however will show this hygienic, heat resistant material with cryptonite-inspired strength in a brand new light.
