Sixteen designers

1. Le Paravent De l'Autre by Philippe Starck. It acts as a room divider and at the same time, can display pictures/works on the panel. It looks very simple yet at the same time, it give out the very classy look, and it is easy to manage as it is foldable so it can be move easily, at anytime. It is made up of three wooden panels with pearwood finish. Clear glass windows/picture-frames. Polished cast aluminium legs.

2. Soft Box Series by Tom Dixon. It is an unusual luminous object that can work in any environment. It's reflective inner lining allows a standard light bulb to give flat, even light akin to an open window. The first look of this Soft box light exactly give us the feeling of being at a studio, with the feeling of the big camera shining at us. Putting it at home will give guests the impression that the owner is a very modern and elegant person. Light is the feature of this product. I like this product as it looks very beautiful to me and it is actually a very simple object using just very normal shapes like rectangle and circle.
3. Lovely Rita Bookshelf by Ron Arad. It is made in a irregular form of shape, but it definately brings out the stylish look of books. It might be difficult for users to handle as it is in irregular shape but take a further look, the up and down actually act as a book dividers.
