cute, colorful and piccolo

are the three adjectives the designer ionna vautrin chose to describe her new table lamp Binic.  inspired by windsocks on boats, these lamps are indeed cute, quirky and unassuming like their creator.  there's a child-like quality in vautrin that's appealing.  i particularly like her simple but evocative sketches.  here's a video of her explaining how she came up with the design.

"My creative process begins with a scene, a history, a style, a concept that I create from something that I wished or lived.  From this point, I create the environment, the atmosphere, the looks and the attitudes.  In most cases, I have the concept of the campaign before the collection.  Maybe that's the reason I love doing the art shooting.  I create the atmosphere of the story and I make my own films, with which I can share the scene I imagined from the beginning of the process.  The pieces are drawn to be the figurine of my film.  And it is possible to "watch" in each detail of my collection.  I am only satisfied when proposed elements for each piece, the colors, the textures and the silhouettes start being used by the characters of the film I made."

i'm speechless.  images from his current collection (below) might as well be clipped from fellini's 8-1/2.
