stuart haygarth aladdin lightbox
3 people recommended this item
Description
If British designer Stuart Haygarth is a packrat he has certainly made it pay off. Haygarth, who is also a photographic illustrator, creates design projects that incorporate the collections of objects. Case in point, his Aladdin floor lighting. He collected different colored glassware from flea markets and junk shops and then grouped them by size and color. The four collections: amber, green, purple and clear are housed in lightbox vitrines like museum showcases, giving these cast offs a luxury appeal. They are limited editions and come in four separate sizes. Prices range from $7,800 to $13,000.

Resin Clutch

Description
I've seen a lot of resin used in modern furniture designs and in jewelry but it doesn't often make its way into purses. The Billeyette clutch from Malini Murjani has a resin exterior and a leather lining. A hidden magnetic closure secures the bag. The modern bag is expandable and comes in bright colors that put me in mind of exotic sportscars. The black version shown here sells at Vivre for $275.
