Pipe Light by Triptyque Pipe Light is an installation on an abandoned house in São Paulo, Brazil by French-Brazilian architects Triptyque. The project, part of a design show held at the property earlier this year, comprises metal tubing and lamps wrapped around the inside and outside of the building. The installation was commissioned Houssein Jarouche, owner of the adjacent furniture and homeware store Micasa. More Dezeen stories about Triptyque: Harmonia 57Bela Cintra 1235Loducca Building The following is from Triptyque: Pipe Light - Triptyque “I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.” – Marcel Duchamp The Pipe Light was created from the design of a product that was morphologically similar to a vegetable which invades and takes the parts of a house, as a creeping plant; thus role of a bridge between art and design. But unlike its inspirational object – that make the process of photosynthesis -, the pipe light "feeds" of darkness for enlighten.

momstory My name is Filippa, I live in Denmark with my husband Claus and our three girls Natascha(11), Olivia (8) and Cleo(3) – we have three cats, 5 fish and five chicken that provide us eggs every day. I am a freelance interior stylist with a love for DIY, and ideas for kids, therefore 70 % of my work is all about kids. My blog is called Cirkus, it started as the place where I could show all the amazing things I find, in hope that someone would be interested and get inspired as I do. I also pin here when I see things I love or need to remember. And once I blogged for the kids magazine Vi forældre, where I had the luck to find a lot of great stuff for kids and Bloesem jewelry was one of them. At the moment I use most of my time at my new project – my webshop – Fabel A (decorations and ideas for birthdays and parties). What kind of house do you live in - are you and the kids happy here or is there anything you find lacking or would like to change? What is it you like best about living there?
